近三周18人感染伤寒 卫生部、食品局调查起因

根据《海峡时报》报导,新加坡卫生部和食品局(SFA)昨日指出,目前当局正针对近三周有18人感染伤寒(typhoid fever)起因,进行调查。

两个部门昨日发表联合声明,指病患从7月13日至本月4提日,出现细菌感染症状。

18名病患透过血液或粪便测试确诊患上伤寒,这18人都送院治疗,惟目前情况稳定,14人已出院。

在回应《海时》询问时,卫生部和食品局都表示仍在调查伤寒病症扩散的起因。当局也向受感染者了解可能导致病发的关联因素,并收集食品和食水样本进行测试。

当局指出,病患的家庭成员也已接受检测,并建议他们如果也出现伤寒症状,立即接受治疗。至于涉及饮食业和膳食管理的病患,在完全康复之前都不准工作。

卫生部表示,作为额外预防措施,该部也通知医生,对伤寒病症保持警惕并随时通报当局。

根据世界卫生组织官网简介,伤寒是一种由伤寒沙门菌(Salmonella typhi)引起的系统性感染,通常通过摄入受污染的食物或水感染。

这种急性疾病的特点是长时间发烧、头痛、恶心、食欲不振、便秘或偶发腹泻。

早在本月15日(周四),在盛港和榜莪拥有四家诊所分行的医疗集团Etern Medical Group,在脸书发帖文指卫生部通知,截至本月13日在本地已累计15宗伤寒病例,而贴文也提及伤寒近几周“活跃”,而最佳的检测方式是采集粪便样本或直肠拭棉(rectal swab)。

同时,也提及该诊所也曾有婴儿个案被诊断出沙门氏菌感染。 再者,去年在盛港医院也出现相关病症的死亡案例(指Spize餐厅食物中毒导致身亡事件)。

不过,在卫生部和食品局正式对外发表文告前,该诊所企业更改贴文,删除了文中提及卫生部的字眼。

另一方面,世卫组织也建议,人们需确保食物获得适当烹煮和趁热食用、避免饮用未消毒奶或使用由未消毒奶制成的产品、不用未使用安全饮用水制成的冰,藉此预防伤寒。
