Det var för drygt en vecka sedan som en 28-årig laboratorieassistent avled i en ”särskilt allvarlig form av lunginflammation” i Sjelechov i Ryssland. Enligt ryska medieuppgifter skedde det efter en olycka med ett provrör i ett laboratorium som hanterar pestbakterier. Omkring 200 personer sattes i karantän.

Smittspårningen är nu klar, enligt WHO.

– Enligt de uppgifter vi har så har alla patientens kontakter identifierats och övervakats. Ingen har hittills uppvisat några tecken på sjukdom, säger talespersonen Christian Lindmeier, rapporterar The Guardian.

Ryska myndigheter utreder fortfarande om laboratorieassistentens död orsakades av lungpest. WHO beskriver hälsorisken för boende i Irkutsk som ”medellåg till låg”, för hela Ryssland är risken ”låg” och för Europa är risken ”väldigt låg”.

I ett uttalande under söndagen hävdade ryska hälsomyndigheten Rospotrebnadzor att situationen i den aktuella regionen Irkutsk är ”stabil”. Enligt myndigheten ska inga fall av infektionssjukdomar ha rapporterats bland laboratoriets anställda under de senaste tio dagarna.

Anders Johansson, avdelningschef och statsepidemiolog på Folkhälsomyndigheten, anser att svenskar inte behöver oroa sig, även om det skulle röra sig om lungpest.

– Det är extremt osannolikt att ett enstaka fall i södra Sibirien skulle ha betydelse för Sverige. Risken för att Yersinia pestis som vi känner bakterien i dag, om det är det det rör sig om, skulle spridas från människa till människa över jorden som covid gjorde finns inte i samhällen med modern hygienisk standard, har Johansson sagt till DN.

Open Questions

  • ?Vad var den exakta orsaken till laboratorieolyckan?
  • ?Kommer Rospotrebnadzor att publicera en slutrapport om dödsorsaken?

Increased exposure to hormonal drugs in children leads to early puberty

The Swedish Medicines Agency has received 20 reports about children who were exposed to estrogen drugs and showed signs of puberty, as well as seven reports about testosterone. Pediatrician Anna Olivecrona warns of increased secondary exposure via creams and sprays used by adults, especially in young children with thin skin. Effects include growth acceleration, breast and penile growth, and genital hair, some of which may be permanent. She fears a large number of dark people and emphasizes that even short-term contact can cause high hormone levels in children.
