孟加拉国暴发全球最严重麻疹疫情：疑似病例20.2万、1,147人死亡 绝大多数是5岁以下儿童
达卡消息——孟加拉国正经历全球今年最严重的麻疹疫情。世界卫生组织数据显示，从今年3月中旬疫情暴发到10月9日，该国已报告约202,000例疑似病例，其中22,000例经实验室确诊，两项数字均为今年全球各国最高。疫情已造成1,147人死亡，其中94%是5岁以下儿童。路透社10月17日刊出的调查报道指出，该国的常规免疫计划在2025年出现动摇，接种覆盖率跌破世卫组织设定的95%群体免疫门槛。
路透社查阅了世卫组织文件，并采访了十多名科学家、卫生工作者和官员。报道称，疫情筹备与应对存在多处缺口：用于规划接种的儿童数据漏掉了数百万名儿童，导致疫苗接种难以覆盖最脆弱的人群，部分地区的家长也未能被有效触达。
世卫组织疫苗顾问、纽约大学教授马克·吉特（Mark Jit）对路透社说：「这对每个国家都是一个真正的警示。」他表示，看到孟加拉国的疫情规模时感到震惊。孟加拉国总理塔里克·拉赫曼（Tarique Rahman）的卫生事务特别助理齐亚丁·海德尔（Ziauddin Hyder）今年9月对路透社表示，政府正在尽一切努力应对疫情；对于路透社10月提出的进一步问题，孟加拉国政府未作回应。
麻疹是传染性最强的疾病之一，可通过空气传播，能引发肺炎、脑炎等严重并发症，对营养不良的幼儿尤其危险。世卫组织称，要阻断麻疹传播，人群接种覆盖率需达到95%。孟加拉国政府今年4月已启动紧急接种行动应对疫情。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Bangladesh Hit by World's Worst Measles Outbreak: 202,000 Suspected Cases and 1,147 Deaths, Most of Them Young Children
DHAKA — Bangladesh is experiencing the world's worst measles outbreak this year. According to World Health Organization figures cited in a Reuters investigation published October 17, the country had reported about 202,000 suspected cases from mid-March, when the outbreak began, through October 9 — the most suspected cases of any country in the world this year — including 22,000 laboratory-confirmed infections. The outbreak has killed 1,147 people, 94% of them children under five.
Reuters reviewed WHO documents and interviewed more than a dozen scientists, health workers and officials. It found that the country's routine immunization program faltered in 2025 and vaccination coverage fell below the 95% threshold the WHO says is needed to stop transmission, while child data used to plan vaccination missed millions of children, leaving the most vulnerable unreached.
"This is a real warning to every country," Mark Jit, a WHO vaccine adviser and professor at New York University, told Reuters, saying he was shocked by the scale of the outbreak. Ziauddin Hyder, special assistant on health to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, told Reuters in September that the government was doing everything it could; the government did not respond to further questions from Reuters in October.
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known, spreading through the air and causing complications including pneumonia and brain inflammation, and is especially dangerous for malnourished young children. Bangladesh launched an emergency vaccination campaign in April in response to the outbreak. (GSM, via Reuters)
