肯尼亚埃博拉确诊升至8例 卫生总干事证实第8例为49岁病患陪护 周六发病、周日检测阳性

内罗毕——据路透社报道，肯尼亚卫生总干事帕特里克·阿莫斯周日表示，肯尼亚再确诊1例埃博拉病例，该国感染总数升至8例。

阿莫斯在接受肯尼亚公民电视台（Citizen TV）采访时说：「今天共检测了38人，其中1人埃博拉检测呈阳性。他是一名49岁的男子，不是医护人员。他出现了发烧、头痛和肌肉疼痛的症状。」

阿莫斯表示，新病例是一名负责清洗餐具和床单的病患陪护人员，很可能是在接触肯尼亚首例病例时感染的——首例患者本月早些时候从刚果民主共和国前往内罗毕，并于10月5日在内罗毕一家医院死亡。一名卫生部消息人士说，最新病例周六出现症状后即被与其他隔离人员分开，并接受了病毒检测，结果周日呈阳性。

肯尼亚目前处于高度戒备状态。以刚果（金）为中心的大规模埃博拉疫情已蔓延至该地区多个国家，刚果（金）方面周日确认其疫情已扩散至第八个省份北乌班吉省（站内已有报道）。

Kenya Confirms Eighth Ebola Case: Health Director-General Says Latest Patient Is a 49-Year-Old Attendant Who Fell Ill Saturday and Tested Positive Sunday

Nairobi — Kenya has confirmed one more Ebola case, bringing the total number of infections in the country to eight, Director-General for Health Patrick Amoth said on Sunday, according to Reuters.

"Today, 38 people were tested, and one tested positive for Ebola," Amoth said in an interview on Kenya's Citizen TV. "He is a 49-year-old man who is not a healthcare worker. He developed fever, headache and muscle pain."

Amoth said the new case was a patient attendant who cleaned utensils and linens, and he was probably exposed to Kenya's first Ebola case, discovered earlier this month in a man who travelled from Democratic Republic of Congo to Nairobi and died at a Nairobi hospital on October 5. The latest case developed symptoms on Saturday, was separated from other people in quarantine, and was tested for the virus with the result returning positive on Sunday, a health ministry source said.

Kenya has been on heightened alert, as a major Ebola outbreak centred in Congo has spread across borders in the region; Congo confirmed on Sunday that its outbreak had spread to an eighth province, North Ubangi (covered separately on this site).
