根據WHO提供的資訊,俄羅斯當局於6日向WHO說明,伊爾庫茨克州近期並未報告任何鼠疫病例。針對鼠疫防治研究所1名員工罹患嚴重肺炎事件,俄方已展開流行病學調查,啟動預防及控制措施,所有接觸者均已匡列並接受檢查,目前未檢出高威脅病原體。
不過,WHO表示,相關案件資訊仍不完整,現階段不足以對事件是否對公眾構成潛在風險得出實證結論,須保持謹慎並持續進行風險評估。
WHO秘書長已於6日公開要求俄羅斯當局,釐清首例嚴重肺炎的確切病因,以及促使官方實施大規模公衛措施的致病原,並就媒體報導的第2案不明原因肺炎提出具體說明。WHO將持續與俄方聯繫,查證媒體報導內容。
疾管署說明,台灣自1953年後未再出現鼠疫病例。依WHO統計,2019年至2025年間,全球有10國累計報告3860例鼠疫疑似病例,其中2646例確診,並造成423例死亡,疑似病例致死率約11%。約98%的確診病例集中於剛果民主共和國及馬達加斯加,中國、蒙古則分別報告19例、17例確診病例。
疾管署強調,已密切監測事件發展,並加強邊境檢疫。國內具備相關檢驗量能及傳染病防治醫療網,治療所需抗生素也是臨床常備藥物,供應穩定,可用於確診治療及暴露後預防性投藥,請民眾勿過度恐慌。
