跟进：肯尼亚新增4例埃博拉确诊 累计7例含3名医护人员 卫生部称尚无社区传播证据

据路透社 10 月 17 日报道，肯尼亚卫生部表示，该国周六确认新增 4 例本迪布焦型（Bundibugyo）埃博拉确诊病例，其中包括 3 名曾救治该国首例患者的医护人员，累计确诊病例增至 7例。

新增病例中的另一例为已死亡的首例患者的一名男性亲属，卫生部在声明中说，此人自 10 月 6 日起一直处于隔离状态。

这批病例是肯尼亚境内首次已知的本地传播感染：首例患者于 10 月 3 日自刚果抵达肯尼亚。卫生部同时表示，已追踪并隔离该患者的几乎全部接触者，目前没有证据表明病毒正在社区中传播。

卫生部说，3 名医护人员为两名男子和一名女子，年龄分别为 29 岁、35 岁和 32 岁，曾于 10 月 3 日至 4 日救治首例患者，自 10 月 9 日起处于隔离状态。4 名新增患者都是在隔离期间出现症状并被确诊的。

卫生部表示，此前确诊的第二例和第三例患者情况稳定，对支持性治疗反应良好。声明说，130 名登记接触者中已有 128 人（98.5%）被追踪并隔离，高于其所称切断传播链所需的 85% 全球基准。

肯尼亚的病例与刚果的埃博拉疫情相关联——路透社称那是史上第二大埃博拉疫情，累计病例已逾 9,000例、死亡逾 4,000 人。本迪布焦型埃博拉目前尚无获批的疫苗或治疗方法。

肯尼亚首例患者是一名男子，在刚果患病约一个月后经陆路前往乌干达，再于 10 月 3 日乘飞机抵达内罗毕，10 月 5 日死亡。他的抵达引发了外界对刚果与乌干达边境（该边境自 5 月起关闭）以及内罗毕乔莫·肯雅塔国际机场筛查工作的担忧。

卫生部说，追踪其余两名接触者的工作仍在进行。「由于没有社区传播的证据，公众面临的风险仍然较低，」卫生部表示，并称目前对旅行、贸易和公众集会没有限制。

Follow-Up: Kenya Confirms Four New Ebola Cases, Bringing Total to Seven Including Three Health Workers

Kenya confirmed four new cases of the Ebola Bundibugyo virus on Saturday, October 17, including three health workers who treated the country's first patient, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to seven, the health ministry said, Reuters reported.

The other new case is a male relative of the index patient, who died. The relative had been in quarantine since October 6, the ministry said in a statement.

The cases are the first known infections passed on inside Kenya, where the first patient arrived from Congo on October 3. But the ministry says it has traced and quarantined nearly all of his contacts and there is no evidence that the virus is spreading in the community.

The three health workers — two men and a woman aged 29, 35 and 32 respectively — managed the index case on October 3 and 4 and had been in quarantine since October 9, it said. All four new patients were already in quarantine when they developed symptoms and were diagnosed.

The second and third patients are stable and responding well to supportive treatment, the ministry said. It said 128 of 130 listed contacts, or 98.5%, had been traced and placed in quarantine, higher than the 85% global benchmark it said was needed to break the chain of transmission.

Kenya's cases are linked to the Ebola epidemic in Congo — the second-largest outbreak ever recorded, with more than 9,000 cases and more than 4,000 deaths, according to Reuters.

There are no approved vaccines or treatments for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola.

The first Kenyan case was a man who had been ill in Congo for about a month before travelling by road to Uganda and flying to Nairobi on October 3. He died on October 5. His arrival has raised concerns about screening at the Congo-Uganda border, which has been closed since May, and at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Efforts to trace the remaining two contacts were ongoing, the ministry said. "The risk to the general public remains low as there is no evidence of community transmission," it said, adding that there were no restrictions on travel, trade or public gatherings.
