安徽省涡阳县近日发生丙肝人群聚集性感染,安徽省卫生部门初步调查,此次感染中发现的丙肝阳性患者均在河南省永城市马桥镇一个体诊所接受过静脉推注治疗,感染可能是因不安全注射引起。据永城市卫生局负责人介绍,截至28日,他们对马桥镇部分居民调查,也已发现104例丙肝抗体呈阳性,确诊6例丙肝患者。传染源最终确定,还需进一步调查。
我们来看一段英文报道:
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.
近日在安徽省涡阳县,包括至少六名儿童在内的13人确诊感染丙肝。另有43人疑似患丙肝,但是还需要进行更多检查才能确定是否确诊为丙肝。
安徽省卫生厅初步调查,此次感染中发现的丙肝阳性者均在河南省一个体诊所接受过不卫生的再生针头注射。
【讲解】
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)是一种传染病(infectious disease),由丙型肝炎病毒(hepatitis C virus 简称HCV) 引起,主要通过血液(blood)等途径传播。
