衞生防護中心公布新增一宗類鼻疽個案

衞生署衞生防護中心(中心)今日(十月十六日)表示,過去一星期(十月九日至十月十五日)錄得一宗新增類鼻疽個案。中心呼籲市民保持個人及環境衞生以預防類鼻疽,並特別提醒高風險群組,包括長者及長期病患者,在颱風或暴雨後應避免接觸土壤或泥水,減低受類鼻疽病菌感染的風險。 個案涉及一名有長期病患的74歲女子。她居於深水埗區,自十月四日起出現發燒及咳嗽帶痰。她於十月七日因氣促到明愛醫院急症室求醫,需留院治療。病人的臨床診斷為肺炎,臨床樣本經化驗證實對類鼻疽伯克氏菌呈陽性反應。病人於十月八日離世,死因仍在調查中。 中心正調查個案的感染源頭,初步流行病學調查顯示,上述個案屬散發個案,沒有資料顯示與本港早前錄得的其他確診個案有流行病學關連。 導致類鼻疽的病菌一般不會人傳人或經動物傳人,但可存活於本地環境。類鼻疽在香港屬風土病,本港每年亦有錄得類鼻疽個案。截至昨日(十月十五日),本港今年錄得九宗類鼻疽個案。去年共錄得21宗類鼻疽個案。 根據文獻,類鼻疽個案於颱風或暴雨後較常出現。颱風或暴雨後,土壤和泥水中的類鼻疽伯克氏菌有機會曝露於地面,並隨着強風或暴雨令病菌更容易散播,從而令類鼻疽個案有機會增加。在可行的情況下,市民在颱風和暴雨期間,應盡量留在室內,避免前往可能出現水浸的地區,亦不應涉水或接觸泥水和泥土。同時,高風險人士應避免使用雨水渠道附近的道路,以免接觸可能由污水產生的氣溶膠。 市民亦應採取以下措施預防感染: 避免接觸受污染的土壤; 進行有機會接觸土壤或泥水的活動時,穿着適當的防護衣物,例如佩戴手套,並穿上水靴,高風險人士可考慮額外佩戴外科口罩; 接觸受污染的水或土壤後進行清洗或淋浴; 盡快清潔傷口,並以防水敷料覆蓋; 接觸土壤和進行園藝活動後,用肥皂和水洗手; 注意食物衞生,不要飲用未經煮沸的水;及 外遊人士可透過戶外水上活動受到感染。避免接觸可能受污染的水源(例如河流、池塘或湖泊)可減低受感染的風險。 ​​中心呼籲市民,尤其是糖尿病患者或免疫力弱的人士,如出現病徵,應盡快求醫,以接受適切的醫學診斷和治療。就更多有關類鼻疽的資料,市民可參閱中心網站 www.chp.gov.hk/tc/healthtopics/content/24/101110.html 。
