刚果民主共和国(刚果(金))政府10月27日(周二)公布的数据显示,该国已记录超过1万例确诊埃博拉感染病例。与此同时,卫生当局正艰难遏制一场已蔓延至国境之外、并成为该国历史上最致命的疫情。该国公共卫生研究所发布的最新疫情报告显示,累计确诊病例数为10060例。此次疫情由埃博拉病毒的邦迪布焦型毒株引起,已使多个省份的卫生服务不堪重负,而针对卫生工作者的暴力事件以及难以接触受影响社区的困难,也使遏制传播的努力更加复杂。
The DRC has confirmed 10,060 Ebola cases, its deadliest outbreak on record. Attacks on health workers and limited access hinder containment. Imported cases in Kenya and Nigeria prompted contact tracing and border surveillance. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has recorded more than 10,000 confirmed Ebola infections, according to government data released on Tuesday, October 27, as health authorities struggle to contain an outbreak that has spread beyond the country’s borders and become the deadliest in its history. The latest situation report from the country’s public health institute put the cumulative number of confirmed cases at 10,060. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, has strained health services across several provinces, while violence against health workers and difficulties reaching affected communities have complicated efforts to contain transmission.
巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫将在未来几周访问俄罗斯,与普京举行会谈:报道疫情蔓延,卫生工作者遭袭这场于5月宣布的疫情已蔓延至刚果(金)八个省份,其中伊图里省仍是疫情中心。世界卫生组织报告称,截至10月20日,刚果(金)全国共有9704例确诊病例和4687例死亡病例,凸显了此次公共卫生紧急事件的严重程度。

The WHO reported 9,704 confirmed cases and 4,687 deaths across the DRC as of October 20, highlighting the scale of the public health emergency.
疫情还已跨越国界,肯尼亚和尼日利亚报告了输入性病例,促使两国开展接触者追踪和应急准备措施。遏制病毒的努力因针对卫生工作者的袭击而受阻。据官员和路透社看到的一份备忘录称,上周,在刚果(金)东部,持砍刀的年轻人袭击了两名正在宣传埃博拉防控知识的社区卫生工作者,造成一人死亡、一人受伤。
The outbreak has also crossed borders, with imported cases reported in Kenya and Nigeria, prompting contact tracing and emergency preparedness measures in both countries. Efforts to contain the virus have been hampered by attacks on health workers. Last week, youths armed with machetes attacked two community health workers raising awareness about Ebola in eastern Congo, killing one and injuring the other, according to officials and a memo seen by Reuters.
遇难者是一名经验丰富的护士,在乔波省巴夫瓦森德的一家医院工作,最近被指派在其社区提高对疫情的认识。暴力事件增加了应对团队在识别感染、追踪接触者和鼓励人们寻求医疗救助方面面临的挑战。世卫组织警告称,受影响地区持续传播、病例检测延迟以及难以进入社区,使控制疫情的工作变得更加复杂。卫生当局和国际合作伙伴继续协调监测、实验室检测、感染预防和社区参与工作。
The worker who died was an experienced nurse at a hospital in Bafwasende, Tshopo province, who had recently been assigned to raise awareness about the outbreak in his community. The violence has added to the challenges facing response teams working to identify infections, trace contacts and encourage people to seek medical care. The WHO has warned that sustained transmission across affected areas, delays in detecting cases and difficulties accessing communities are complicating efforts to control the outbreak. Health authorities and international partners continue to coordinate surveillance, laboratory testing, infection prevention and community engagement.
俄罗斯-乌克兰在奥列什基开始停火以允许人道主义援助跨境应对加强疫情促使邻国加强监测和准备。肯尼亚在10月初报告了一例输入性病例,涉及一名从刚果民主共和国经乌干达入境的患者,而尼日利亚于10月20日确认了一例输入性病例。尼日利亚已启动其事件管理系统,卫生当局和国际合作伙伴正在开展病例调查、接触者追踪和感染预防工作。

Kenya reported an imported case in early October involving a patient who had travelled from the DRC through Uganda, while Nigeria confirmed an imported case on October 20. Nigeria has activated its incident-management system, with health authorities and international partners working on case investigation, contact tracing and infection prevention.
邦迪布焦毒株是一个特殊挑战,因为目前没有针对它的获批疫苗或特效治疗。世卫组织建议提供支持性护理并迅速识别病例以减少死亡,同时保持持续监测和跨境合作。世卫组织建议不要对受影响国家实施旅行或贸易限制,强调随着疫情演变,协调一致的公共卫生措施至关重要。
The Bundibugyo strain is a particular challenge because there is no approved vaccine or specific treatment for it. The WHO recommends supportive care and rapid identification of cases to reduce deaths, alongside sustained surveillance and cross-border cooperation. It has advised against imposing travel or trade restrictions on affected countries, stressing the importance of coordinated public health measures as the outbreak evolves.
