流感集中爆發 flu outbreak
[ 2009-09-09 17:16 ]
隨著秋季的到來,中國的幾個省份都出現了甲型流感疫情的聚集爆發,而且疫情大多集中在剛開學的校園。
請看相關報道:
Sixty-seven cases of A/H1N1 flu have been confirmed among students from 5 universities and colleges in the same neighborhood in Langfang, Hebei, the local department of public health said Sunday. 9 other provinces including Shandong, Sichuan and Guangdong have reported A/H1N1flu outbreaks Friday and Saturday, most of them among schools and colleges, according to Xinhua. No fatal or critical cases were reported so far.
河北省衛生廳6日稱,河北省廊坊市大學城出現甲型H1N1流感聚集爆發疫情,目前已確診67例甲流病例,涉及5所院校。另據新華社報道,從9月4日至5日,山東、四川、廣東等9個省份報告甲型H1N1流感集中爆發病例,疫情大都發生在學校,目前尚無重癥病例報告。
在上面的報道中,flu outbreak就是“流感集中爆發”。Outbreak指“(戰爭、情感、火山等的)爆發”或“(疾病、蟲害等的)突然發生”。例如:an outbreak of measles是“麻疹爆發”,an outbreak of jealousy是“妒性大發作”。另外,outbreak還可指“暴亂”,如a slave outbreak是“奴隸暴動”。
最近甲型流感疫情的加重讓和甲流相關的詞匯又成了新聞聚焦的熱點。流感流行初期主要是imported case(輸入型病例),懷疑感染的對象是suspected case(疑似病例),確認感染后是confirmed case(確診病例),感染人數在國內逐漸增加,于是又有了domestic flu case(流感“二代”病例)。接觸過甲型流感病例的人會對其進行隔離,情況不嚴重者可實行home quarantine(居家隔離)。為了防止流感的擴散,國家自行研發了疫苗,即homegrown vaccine(本土疫苗)。
