禽流感 - 土耳其疫情
5 January 2006
2006年1月5日

The Ministry of Health in Turkey has confirmed its first two cases of human infection with avian influenza caused by the H5 virus subtype. Both cases were fatal.
土耳其卫生部确认了该国第一例和第二例人感染H5亚型禽流感的病了。两个病人均已经死亡。

The first case was a 14-year-old boy from the rural district of Dogubayazit, in the eastern province of Agri, which borders the Islamic Republic of Iran and Armenia. He was hospitalized in Van Province on 1 January and died the same day. The second case was his 15-year-old sister, also hospitalized on 1 January. She died on 5 January.
第一个病例,是该国东部阿勒省下乡的多乌巴亚泽特地区一名14岁的男孩。阿勒省与伊朗伊斯兰共和国和亚美尼亚接壤。他于1月1日在凡省住院,并于当日死亡。第二个病例是他15岁的姐姐,也于1月1日住院,1月5日死亡。

Earlier this week, Turkish authorities had ruled out avian influenza in these cases based on preliminary test results from samples taken from the nose and throat. Subsequent tests of additional patient specimens taken from the lungs produced positive results. Patient samples were sent today to a WHO collaborating centre in the United Kingdom for further analysis. The samples have now arrived; results are expected within the next days.
本周早些时候,土耳其当局根据早期从患者鼻腔和咽喉的标本提取的样本进行的化验结果,排除了这些病例感染禽流感的可能。后来从患者肺部提取的样本检查结果呈阳性。今天,患者的样本已经送往英国的世界卫生组织合作中心进行进一步的分析。这些样本已经运抵,分析结果有望在几日内获得。
Turkish health authorities have informed WHO that, since 1 January, a total of 11 patients (including the two confirmed fatal cases) have been hospitalized in Van Province with symptoms suggesting infection with avian influenza. Most patients are children between the ages of six and fifteen years and all reside in the Dogubayazit district. Two of the children are siblings of the two confirmed cases.
土耳其卫生当局已经通知世界卫生组织,从1月1日起,该国凡省已有11名患者(包括2例死亡的确诊病例)出现症状,怀疑感染禽流感。多数患者是6到15岁的儿童,所有患者都来自多乌巴亚泽特地区。这些患者中,有2个孩子是确诊病例的兄弟姐妹。

Following a request by the Ministry of Health, an initial team of experts from WHO, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the European Commission is travelling today to Turkey to collaborate with the authorities in their investigation of the situation.
根据该国卫生部的要求,一支由世界卫生组织,欧洲疾病预防与控制中心和欧盟委员会专家组成的小组今天前往土耳其,与当局合作调查该地区的疫情。

Initial information about the confirmed cases suggests that the children acquired their infection following close contact with chickens. Deaths of chickens are known to have occurred in the Dogubayazit district near the end of last year. Although no poultry outbreak has been officially reported in the district, a confirmed outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza in chickens and ducks was reported on 27 December in the adjacent province of Igdir.
关于确诊病例的初步信息表明,这些孩子是和鸡近距离接触后感染禽流感的。目前了解到多乌巴亚泽特地区在去年(2005年)年末的时候出现过病死鸡只。虽然当地没有报告该地区的家禽有禽流感疫情,但是12月27日,相邻的伊迪尔省报告有鸡鸭感然禽流感。

National authorities have informed WHO that Dogubayazit district has been placed under quarantine; no people or animals are allowed to move in or out of the district. Culling operations are currently under way.
该国当局已经通知世界卫生组织,多乌巴亚泽特地区已经被隔离,人和动物都不许离开该地区。当地已经开始进行排查工作。

The two Turkish cases mark the first confirmed reports of human infection with avian influenza outside East Asia. Since January 2004, a total of 142 human cases of H5N1 infection have been reported in Viet Nam, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, and China. The cases in Turkey bring the number of affected countries to six, from which 144 cases have now been reported.
土耳其报道的2个病例,是东亚地区之外,首次报告人感染禽流感。从2004年1月起,
越南、泰国、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚和中国一共报告了142个人感染病例。加上土耳其的病例报告,目前共有6个国家,144人感染。

Turkey reported its first outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza in poultry in mid-October of last year. That outbreak, which occurred in the northwestern part of the country, was attributed to contact between domestic poultry and migratory waterfowl. The outbreak in Igdir and other suspected outbreaks in this part of the country are thought to have occurred following introduction of the virus by migratory birds. The region, which has several large lakes, is known to lie along migratory routes.
土耳其去年(2005年)10月中旬首次报告家禽禽流感疫情。那次疫情出现在该国的西北省份,传染是由于家禽和迁徙中的水禽接触造成的。伊迪尔省和该国其他地区报告的疫情或疑似感染是候鸟传播的。这个地区,有几个大型湖泊,位于候鸟的迁徙路径中。
