Why It Matters

登革熱為蚊傳染病,常見於熱帶及亞熱帶地區,症狀包括發燒、頭痛、肌肉關節痛及皮疹。台灣近年多為境外移入病例,偶有本土傳播聚集。

彰化縣發生境外移入登革熱家庭群聚案,一對夫妻9月中旬跟團赴越南富國島旅遊,返國出現症狀確診。疾管署今天表示,同團21人來自台中、台南、新竹及南投等縣市,持續追蹤。

衛生福利部疾病管制署發言人林明誠今天告訴媒體,這是一起境外移入登革熱家庭群聚,個案為兩名同住彰化50歲上下的夫妻。

林明誠說,夫妻倆9月中旬與親友至越南富國島旅遊,9月19日及20日相繼出現發燒、肌肉痛等症狀,其中1人出現皮膚紅疹;9月21日一起去某醫院門診,因症狀持續,兩人於9月22日改赴急診,經NS1快篩陽性,隔天研判確定,檢體送疾管署複驗定序,目前均住院治療中。

個案於潛伏期間(9月12日至15日)曾有越南富國島旅遊史。林明誠表示,回國後主要於彰化縣居住地工作,發病前曾至在地火鍋店、五金百貨用餐及購物,並曾至鄰近鄉鎮送貨。

林明誠說,由於居住地今年無其他確定病例,且鄰近鄉鎮雖有境外移入個案但具時間與距離落差,因此排除本土感染,研判感染源為越南境外移入。

在接觸者部分,林明誠表示,同住者僅夫妻兩人。同團共21人,分布於台中、台南、新竹及南投等縣市,已轉知各衛生局進行健康追蹤。

此外,地方主管機關已完成個案住家周邊調查75戶、查獲38個積水容器,其中13個陽性容器,病媒蚊密度偏高,並已進行化學防治,也請醫療院所加強TOCC問診及通報警覺。

疾管署呼籲,國人赴登革熱流行地區,務必預防蚊蟲叮咬;回國後兩週內若身體不適,應即刻就醫並主動告知旅遊史。最近氣溫仍適合病媒蚊繁殖,社區仍需注意清除各種積水,以免孳生病媒蚊傳播疾病。

Research shows that taking 7,000 steps a day can reduce cancer risk by about 11%, and taking 9,000 steps reduces the risk by 16%.

Dietitian Lao Gu cited a large-scale prospective study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine and pointed out that compared with people who hardly move, those with the highest daily activity reduce the risk of 13 specific cancers by about 26%; compared with those who walk 5,000 steps a day, walking 7,000 steps reduces the risk by about 11%, and walking 9,000 steps reduces the risk by about 16%. There is no significant relationship between walking speed and cancer risk, indicating that total activity may be more important than speed.

Changhua County promotes rapid pesticide inspection on fruits and vegetables. About 140 out of 1,286 items failed. County councilors call for strengthening publicity

The Changhua County Government and Tunghai University have cooperated to launch 15 free pesticide rapid inspection services for high-risk crops. Results will be available on the same day as soon as farmers submit them for inspection. About 140 of the 1,286 rapid inspections were unqualified, with a failure rate of 11%. County councilor Wu Weida pointed out that the county government should explain whether all unqualified agricultural products are intercepted before they are put on the market. Agriculture Director Guo Zhishan explained that unqualified products will be required to be delayed in harvesting and re-inspected before they can be sold, and will strengthen drug safety propaganda and set up collection points.
