國內出現今年第三例漢他病毒病例,疾管署表示,這名四十多歲男子,病毒型別為台灣常見的「首爾型漢他病毒」,致死率相對較低,目前無人傳人案例。民眾應做好防鼠措施,打掃鼠類排泄物時須戴口罩、手套並先消毒。

清鼠防漢他病毒 須戴口罩手套消毒

防疫醫師林詠青表示,該名男子沒有慢性病史,也沒有國內外旅遊史,感染的是台灣常見的首爾型漢他病毒,症狀相對較輕微。他提醒,首爾型主要引發漢他病毒出血熱併腎症候群,典型症狀包括突發高燒、下背痛、四肢無力及腎功能異常,嚴重時甚至可能出現皮膚或黏膜出血。依病程可分為發燒期、低血壓期、寡尿期、多尿期及恢復期,部分重症患者可能出現多重器官衰竭,致死率約一%至十五%。

至於近期荷蘭郵輪群聚事件的安地斯型漢他病毒,則可能引發「漢他病毒肺症候群」,致死率高達卅五%至五十%,且具有少見的人傳人風險,與目前台灣病例不同。

副署長曾淑慧表示,漢他病毒症候群屬人畜共通傳染病,民眾若吸入遭鼠類糞便、尿液或唾液污染的飛沫、塵土,或接觸受污染物品,甚至被帶病毒的老鼠咬傷,都可能感染。

疾管署持續在全台機場及港口進行鼠類監測,並要求港區加強防鼠措施,包括船隻設置「防鼠盾」,降低境外鼠類進入台灣風險。

曾淑慧提醒,預防漢他病毒最重要原則就是「不讓鼠來、不讓鼠住、不讓鼠吃」。家中廚餘及寵物飼料應妥善收納,若打掃時發現鼠類排泄物,務必先保持通風,並戴上口罩及塑膠或橡膠手套,再以「一份漂白水加九份清水」稀釋消毒,靜置五分鐘後再清理,切勿直接掃地或使用吸塵器,以免病毒飛散增加感染風險。
