中國62人染新布尼亞病毒7死 陸網瘋傳台灣疾管署影片
武漢肺炎(COVID-19,新冠肺炎)疫情還沒趨緩,但現在中國又傳出「新布尼亞病毒」(new bunyavirus),在今年至少62人感染,甚至已經出現7人死亡的案例。
根據中國媒體《健康時報》報導,南京一名婦人出現40度高燒、咳嗽、血小板減少的情形,緊急就醫後,這才發現感染了新布尼亞病毒。報導中指出,感染後,患者體內的血小板、白血球會迅速減少,最後甚至會導致腦出血、多器官衰竭,死亡率相當高。
但南京這名婦人其實不是中國今年以來的第一位感染者,她是江蘇人民醫院接診的第37位感染者;此外,安徽省今年4月以來,也已經有23人感染,其中有5人死亡,而浙江省也有2人死亡的情形。
A highly pathogenic new bunyavirus emerged in China
SFTSV infection can be transmitted person-to-person, and the average case fatality rate is approximately 10% in humans.
