Description
This paper aims to inform how the first North-South comparative glossary targeting the field of infectious diseases was compiled. This glossary encompasses terms used in situations that diagnose, treat, and prevent infectious diseases caused by various microorganisms. The compilation process consisted of three main stages. Terms were collected and refined in Step 1, and an integrated database was built in Step 2. Based on this, in Step 3, a glossary in the form of a paper book was published, which systematically selected and contained important information. In the paper, the overall study was first introduced, and each step was explained by dividing the sections of what work was performed. <North and South Korean infectious disease glossary> contains 1,500 of the 2,845 cases contained in the integrated database as headlines. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of infectious diseases is being spotlighted again. This glossary can be said to be highly timely because it even includes the latest infectious disease terms. In addition, it is valuable because it is possible to create another glossary of various forms in the future using the database built in the research process.
