(德国之声中文网)俄罗斯西伯利亚一间鼠疫研究机构的实验室工作人员,因不明原因感染肺炎后死亡,相关单位已追踪及隔离相关接触者。

当地国营电视台週一(10月5日)报道,28岁女子希皮洛娃(Darya Shipilova)上週在伊尔库茨克(Irkutsk)郊外的舍列霍夫(Shelekhov)一家医院死亡。希皮洛娃生前任职于防疫研究所。

这起死亡事件在社群媒体引发担忧,但俄罗斯政府週一表示,情况已受到控制。

伊尔库茨克州州长科布泽夫(Igor Kobzev)表示,经专家调查,这名女子死于“病因不明的肺炎”,并说:“重要的是,过去几天没有发现防疫研究所其他员工因身体不适而就医。”

科布泽夫在社群平台Telegram表示,俄罗斯联邦消费者权益及公民福祉监督局(Rospotrebnadzor)的检验结果并未在该女子遗体发现与她工作相关的病原体。

俄罗斯国营通讯社塔斯社(TASS)亦引述Rospotrebnadzor声明指出,未发现该研究所曾在处理病原体时发生事故的证据,目前也没有证据显示这名女子的死亡与她的工作有关。

科布泽夫称,目前情况受到控制,所有已知与死者接触的人员均已被确认、接受检查,并正接受医疗监测。

根据俄罗斯媒体报道,约有200名曾与死者接触的人员接受隔离;她死亡所在地舍列霍夫镇医院部分区域遭封锁,一间铝业工厂也要求员工佩戴口罩。

病因众说纷纭

关于这起病例的染病时机、地点及死因,当地传出未经证实的不同说法。俄罗斯媒体《贝加尔人》(People of Baikal)2日引述消息报道,该名女子疑似感染肺鼠疫(pneumonic plague)而不治身亡。

鼠疫为细菌性疾病,其中“肺鼠疫”传染性极强,患者会咳出带有病原体的飞沫,可经由空气传播。根据世界卫生组织,如果及早发现,肺鼠疫可以使用抗生素治疗;但若未接受治疗,可能在1至6天内致命。

社群媒体则流传消息称,这名女子曾在实验室不慎打破装有活性细菌的试管,可能与她的死亡有关。

俄罗斯政府呼吁民众保持冷静。克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫(Dmitry Peskov)週一表示,民众和媒体应遵循官方发布的资讯,而不是谣言或臆测。

当地检测人员在死者的接触者中发现2起新冠肺炎病例,以及2起鼻病毒感染病例;除此之外,未发现其他传染病病例。

世界卫生组织表示,根据目前掌握资讯,“一般民众面臨的公共卫生风险似乎很低”,将在取得更多资讯后,进一步评估风险。

特朗普:美方密切关注

被问及华府将如何因应俄罗斯可能出现的鼠疫风险时,美国总统特朗普週一表示,美国正密切监测情势,并愿意提供协助。

特朗普说:“我们正高度关注这件事,才刚听说。我们会帮助他们,尽我们所能提供协助。”不过他表示尚未就此事与俄罗斯总统普京通话。他并表示,这些病菌相较过去“变得更强”,过去对肺炎有效的治疗方式,如今效果也不再那么好。

美国国务卿卢比奥(Marco Rubio)则表示,他认为目前没有理由恐慌,美方已在密切监控这起病例,并注意到盡管俄罗斯已实施隔离及其他公共卫生措施。

他指出,盡管美国与俄罗斯之间的旅行往来有限,“但就像其他任何事情一样,一旦传出去,仍可能迅速扩散。”

Prosecutors speak out on drug harm reduction policies, emphasizing that assistance with drug addiction is a medical and public health issue

A senior prosecutor posted on a social platform that failure to effectively assist drug addicts in detoxification will lead to the spread of AIDS through shared needles, a waste of national resources, family disability, and damage to the rights of minor children. Therefore, we cannot avoid studying how to help addicts truly detoxify and return to society. He stressed that drug detoxification is essentially a professional issue in the medical and public health fields, rather than a purely legal issue, and cited a 2015 study by the Judicial College of the Ministry of Justice which pointed out that an appropriate dose of methadone maintenance therapy can relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms, restore cognitive function, reduce drug use and needle sharing, and prevent infectious diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis C. This discussion echoes the controversy surrounding Shen Boyang’s discussion of foreign harm reduction measures 12 years ago, and the attack and defense between the government and the opposition continues to spread.

The 85-year-old grandma surnamed Chen lost her sight due to intraocular lens dislocation. Her vision recovered after surgery.

An 85-year-old grandma surnamed Chen from Taichung City suffered an anterior dislocation of her intraocular lens due to a fall, and her right eye went black. Dr. Yang Qilan from the Department of Ophthalmology at Children's General Hospital performed an operation to remove the intraocular lens and fix it with scleral sutures, but her vision recovered. The doctor pointed out that lens dislocation is divided into anterior dislocation and posterior dislocation. The risk of anterior dislocation is higher. It is recommended that those with a capsular tension ring can reduce the probability of dislocation.

The Taipei City Health Bureau clarified that methadol is a controlled substance, not a drug, and emphasized that the clean needle program does not provide criminal immunity

The Taipei City Health Bureau refutes claims by medical professionals that methadol is a second-level drug, pointing out that methadol is an oral controlled drug and implements a drug-addicted AIDS harm reduction program. The reporter's verification showed that methadone is actually a second-level drug and a second-level controlled drug under the "Drug Harm Prevention and Control Ordinance". The Health Bureau emphasizes that the needle cleaning program is only to reduce the risk of infection from shared needles. Possession and use of drugs are still illegal and there is no criminal immunity.

Doctor Liu Chengen: Methadone replacement therapy is a legal prescription to bring back addicts and does not condone drug abuse.

Nephrologist Liu Chengen pointed out that methadone substitution therapy uses legal, long-lasting and stable prescriptions to bring addicts back from the black market and restore their daily life functions. He also emphasized that the provision and recycling of clean needles is the line of defense for public health. He refuted the Lanying’s questioning of Shen Boyang’s past article that encouraged drug abuse, arguing that this was an unfair smear on the two decades of hard work of public health workers.
