〔記者侯家瑜/台北報導〕梅毒是一種由「梅毒螺旋體」(Treponema pallidum)細菌引起的慢性全身性性傳染病。疾管署指出,2026年1至8月國內新增6900例梅毒,較去年同期增3%,女性及15至24歲年輕族群病例也各增4%。先天性梅毒同期通報68例,防治仍不能鬆懈。副署長林明誠提醒,孕婦初篩RPR或VDRL陽性,可利用同管血液接續確認檢驗,及早確診治療,降低母子垂直感染風險。

疾管署今(10)發布醫界通函指出,2026年1至8月國內新增6900例梅毒病例,較2025年同期6702例增加3%,其中78%為男性、70%集中在15至44歲;值得注意的是,女性及15至24歲年輕族群通報病例也分別達1538例及1340例,均較去年同期增加4%。

林明誠表示,梅毒在醫學上素有助於「偉大的模仿者」之稱,主因其在不同病程期別會出現多樣化且非典型的症狀,容易被誤認為感冒或一般皮膚病。更棘手的是,梅毒症狀即便未用藥也有可能自行暫時消退,使患者誤以為痊癒而未就醫,但體內梅毒螺旋體仍在擴散並具傳染力,甚至進展至嚴重的第三期梅毒,導致隱形傳播鏈持續蔓延。因此,唯有早期診斷並精準投藥,才是阻斷傳播的關鍵。

先天性梅毒防治仍不能鬆懈。疾管署指出,2026年1至8月通報68例先天性梅毒,雖低於2025年同期79例,仍高於2023年22例及2024年39例。

林明誠補充,先天性梅毒通報機制是孕婦本身被診斷為梅毒個案後,孩子即會被通報為疑似先天性梅毒,後續須持續追蹤至出生滿15個月,因此通報數不等於最終確診數,部分個案也可能因母親檢驗出現偽陽性,最後確認並未感染。

他提醒,孕婦若感染梅毒卻未及時治療,可能造成流產、死產、早產或先天性梅毒,因此孕期應落實梅毒篩檢,一旦確診應儘速接受治療。目前長效型盤尼西林(Benzathine penicillin G)是第一線治療藥物,也是預防母子垂直感染的唯一有效藥物。

由於近期藥品供應較為緊縮,部分醫療院所未常備,疾管署建議醫療院所適度儲備,以免患者因轉診或等待藥物而延誤治療。

此外,孕婦產檢若RPR或VDRL初篩陽性,可利用同管血液接續進行TPPA或TPHA確認檢驗,免除再次回診及抽血程序,有助於加速確診、通報及治療。

疾管署呼籲醫界,發現符合梅毒通報病例定義者,應依法完成通報,並依臨床指引儘速治療;孕婦初篩陽性則應盡快完成確認檢驗,若確診感染也應及早接受適當治療。懷孕個案通報時,也應登錄懷孕情形及妊娠週數,以利公衛單位後續追蹤。

Open Questions

  • 未來藥品供應緊縮何時能完全緩解?
  • 年輕族群感染率上升的具體原因為何?
