衞生防護中心調查一宗猴痘確診個案

衞生署衞生防護中心(中心)今日(十月二十八日)表示,正調查一宗猴痘確診個案。今年八月至九月期間,本港錄得的猴痘個案大幅上升。中心迅速採取多元策略阻截猴痘病毒傳播後,十月新增確診個案顯著減少。中心會繼續積極推展各項針對性的防控措施,保障市民健康。 個案資料 ———— 個案涉及一名41歲男子,他於十月二十一日出現淋巴結腫大,十月二十四日開始先後於生殖器官和上肢出現皮疹。他於十月二十六日到衞生署轄下的社會衞生科診所求診,其後獲中心安排到瑪嘉烈醫院接治隔離治療。他的臨床樣本經中心公共衞生化驗服務處化驗後,證實對猴痘病毒呈陽性反應。病人目前情況穩定。 根據病人提供的資料,他於潛伏期內曾在香港及外地有高風險性接觸,感染源頭仍有待調查。中心正繼續就個案進行流行病學調查,亦會將個案通報世界衞生組織。 猴痘個案最新情況 ———————— 自二○二二年起至今,本港共錄得117宗猴痘個案(91宗本地個案、25宗輸入個案、一宗個案的感染源頭仍在調查中),全部病人均為男性。流行病學調查顯示,八月至今錄得的24宗個案中,所有患者報稱在潛伏期內曾進行高風險性行為,包括與陌生男士或多名伴侶發生性行為、在沒有佩戴安全套的情況下進行性行為,大部分病人未曾接種猴痘疫苗。 八月至今錄得的本地個案中,患者較常使用個別交友應用程式尋找陌生男性性伴侶。部分患者確診後,未能與新結識的陌生性伴侶取得聯絡,導致中心無法有效進行接觸者追蹤及實施相應防控措施。有見及此,中心已加強於社交媒體平台的猴痘防控宣傳,並透過相關交友應用程式營運商,定期向所有香港用戶推送有關預防猴痘和推廣疫苗接種的資訊。 中心同時呼籲有高風險性接觸人士(尤其與陌生男士)提高警覺,做好個人防護措施,包括盡快接種猴痘疫苗和避免高風險的性接觸,以減低感染風險。市民亦應保留性伴侶聯絡方法,以便在有需要時進行接觸者追蹤。 加強預防 ———— 猴痘疫苗可預防感染和嚴重疾病。自九月底起,除政府設立的 恆常接種地點 外,中心早前在衞生防護中心大樓增設額外的猴痘疫苗接種中心,並與相關非政府組織合辦多場外展疫苗接種服務,提供便利和誘因,鼓勵有高風險接觸的人士盡快接種疫苗。過去一個月,原有和額外的多個接種點共為660名高風險人士接種猴痘疫苗。 疫苗可提供一道非常有效保護屏障。研究顯示,接種兩劑猴痘疫苗可降低受感染機會百分之八十二,大大減低傳播給性伴侶風險,護己又護人。本港數據亦顯示有接種疫苗的患者,病毒擴散到身體其他部位的機會減少百分之八十七。 中心的猴痘熱線(2125 2373)會繼續為高風險人士提供健康評估及建議。熱線亦會為有需要人士安排在中心接種疫苗。熱線每日上午九時至下午六時運作。 更多有關猴痘的資訊 ————————— 猴痘一般不會經空氣或飛沫傳播,亦不會經社交接觸傳播。中心提醒市民,尤其是暴露風險較高的人士,採取預防措施,避免與懷疑感染猴痘的人或動物
