安徽省渦陽(yáng)縣近日發(fā)生丙肝人群聚集性感染,安徽省衛(wèi)生部門(mén)初步調(diào)查,此次感染中發(fā)現(xiàn)的丙肝陽(yáng)性患者均在河南省永城市馬橋鎮(zhèn)一個(gè)體診所接受過(guò)靜脈推注治療,感染可能是因不安全注射引起。據(jù)永城市衛(wèi)生局負(fù)責(zé)人介紹,截至28日,他們對(duì)馬橋鎮(zhèn)部分居民調(diào)查,也已發(fā)現(xiàn)104例丙肝抗體呈陽(yáng)性,確診6例丙肝患者。傳染源最終確定,還需進(jìn)一步調(diào)查。
我們來(lái)看一段英文報(bào)道:
Thirteen people, including at least six children, were confirmed to have contracted hepatitis C in a recent outbreak in Guoyang county, Anhui province. Forty-three others were suspected to have been infected, but will have to go through more tests to confirm if they have actually contracted the disease.
The disease spread after a private clinic in the neighboring Henan province allegedly reused dirty needles, according to initial investigations led by Anhui's health bureau.
近日在安徽省渦陽(yáng)縣,包括至少六名兒童在內(nèi)的13人確診感染丙肝。另有43人疑似患丙肝,但是還需要進(jìn)行更多檢查才能確定是否確診為丙肝。
安徽省衛(wèi)生廳初步調(diào)查,此次感染中發(fā)現(xiàn)的丙肝陽(yáng)性者均在河南省一個(gè)體診所接受過(guò)不衛(wèi)生的再生針頭注射。
【講解】
文中的“hepatitis C”就是“丙肝”的意思,“hepatitis ”是指“肝炎”。“hepatitis A”是“甲肝”,“hepatitis B”是“乙肝”。丙肝(hepatitis C)是一種傳染病(infectious disease),由丙型肝炎病毒(hepatitis C virus 簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)HCV) 引起,主要通過(guò)血液(blood)等途徑傳播。
