衞生防護中心錄得一宗兒童感染流感嚴重個案

衞生署衞生防護中心(中心)今日(十月二十九日)錄得一宗兒童感染流感嚴重個案。中心呼籲市民不要輕視流感,盡快接種季節性流感疫苗,特別是高風險群組,以預防季節性流感重症及其併發症,保障自己和家人健康。此外,市民亦應時刻保持良好的個人和環境衞生,以預防流感及其他呼吸道疾病。 個案涉及一名過往健康良好的14個月大女童。她於十月二十六日出現發燒和咳嗽,十月二十七日因出現抽搐而被帶到將軍澳醫院急症室求醫,需被轉送至聯合醫院留院治理,同日因病情惡化獲安排在該院的兒童深切治療部接受進一步治療。她的呼吸道樣本經化驗後,證實對甲型(H1)流感病毒呈陽性反應,臨床診斷為甲型流感併發急性壞死性腦病變及多重器官衰竭。病人目前情況危殆。 中心初步調查顯示,女童於潛伏期內沒有外遊,沒有接種季節性流感疫苗。她的其中一名家居接觸者近日曾出現輕微上呼吸道症狀,無需住院,現已康復。中心會繼續調查個案。 中心總監徐樂堅醫生說:「香港自今年六月下旬進入流感季節,至今已持續四個月,在過去一周(十月十八日至二十四日),整體流感活躍程度出現下降跡象,但仍高於基線水平。是次流感季節已錄得27宗兒童感染流感的嚴重個案。當中20宗已康復出院、兩宗情況穩定、三宗情況危殆及兩宗死亡。」 他續說:「流感疫苗的保護力在接種後大約九個月會逐漸下降,因此世界衞生組織建議每年均須接種流感疫苗。絕大部分市民距離接種上一年度(二○二五/二六年)流感疫苗的時間已超過九個月,保護力無可避免有所減退。整體人口的免疫力下降,加上今次流感季節在高水平維持的時間較長,因而增加了高危群組感染及出現重症的機會。在本季流感季節曾感染流感而仍未接種流感疫苗的人士亦應盡快接種,以預防其他流行病毒株。接種流感疫苗是最有效預防季節性流感重症及其併發症的方法,亦可減低入院及死亡風險。除個別有已知禁忌症人士外,所有年滿六個月或以上的人士,請盡快接種季節性流感疫苗。」 中心分析上一年度數據發現,未接種流感疫苗的兒童在感染流感後出現嚴重併發症或死亡的比率,是已接種疫苗兒童的約五倍;而65歲或以上未接種疫苗的安老院舍院友,出現流感重症的比率則是已接種疫苗院友的約四倍。 二○二六/二七年度季節性流感疫苗接種計劃已於九月十七日展開,包括季節性流感疫苗學校外展計劃(學校外展計劃)。本年度學校外展計劃推出全新醫健通電子同意書功能,不僅便利市民參與疫苗接種計劃,同時有助簡化醫護機構及學校的行政程序,從而使外展活動能夠更早展開。暫時已有約1 460間學校舉行外展活動,預計學校外展工作將於十二月中前完成,比去年提早約兩個星期。 兒童患上流感,情況可能迅速惡化,家長必須注意患病兒童的身體狀況,一旦發現病童情況轉差,例如出現呼吸急促、喘鳴、咀唇發紫、胸痛、神智模糊、持續發燒或抽搐等,必須立即前往急症室求醫。市民一旦出現呼吸道病徵,亦應盡快就醫,若與高危群組人士(如兒童、長者及有長期
