“…In Korea, V. vulnificus infections occurred significantly more often in males (86.1z versus 13.9z; P º 0.01), and CFR was higher in males (50.4z versus 35.3z; P º 0.05) than in females. These remarkable differences in gender distribution are believed to be because of differences between the occurrence of chronic liver diseases, drinking habits, consumption of uncooked raw seafood, and wound infections among males and females (1,2,6,8,9). Korea and Japan are geographically and climatically extremely similar and also share a similar food culture.…”
