諾羅病毒(Norwalk virus)

上星期六和朋友去一家咖啡店,她沒事,我卻在回家之後上吐下瀉,以為吃了不乾淨的東西,得了腸胃炎。經過兩天,情況沒有好轉,開始發燒,燒了退,退了又燒,燒到天荒地老,被折騰個半死,幾乎只能昏睡在床。幾天下來,頸間僵硬,嚴重咳嗽,而且,吃藥無效。

到底是什麼病毒這麼無敵?查了資料,原來是連醫生都怕的諾羅病毒。嗯,生病的時候,才會想到,身體健康很重要。根據報導,美國每年有五萬人因感染諾羅病毒住院,其中三百一十人因此死亡,最近是此病毒的高峰季節,大夥兒多保重!

上吐下瀉不止 諾羅病毒群聚感染累計12起

秋冬殺手「諾羅病毒(Norovirus)」國內外都發威,不僅日本、中國先後爆發大規模感染,根據行政院衛生署疾病管制局統計,今年國內諾羅病毒引起腹瀉群聚事件也有增多趨勢,迄今已有十二起,患者多數上吐下瀉不止,成為警訊。好發于秋冬的諾羅病毒,近來在國際間屢屢爆發大規模感染事件,包括日本、香港、中國及加拿大都傳出嚴重的病毒性腸胃炎疫情。國內部分,根據疾管局症狀系統腹瀉監測資料顯示,迄今也有十二起群聚感染事件,除了三件仍待檢驗,其中九件已證實由諾羅病毒引起,依序為老人養護機構三件、護理家兩件、醫院四件、監獄兩件及學校一件,較去年及前年同期的各兩件,大幅增加。疾管局副局長施文儀指出,諾羅病毒只要少量即可造成腸胃炎,主要症狀包括噁心、嘔吐、腹瀉、腹痛、痙攣與發燒等,感染地點大部分為醫院、安養院、榮民之家等人口密集場所,最近甚至連學校也淪陷,北部某高中就爆發群聚感染事件,一個班級中,有將近十名同學上吐下瀉。施文儀說,根據疾管局定點醫師監測資料,也可以看出這一波疫情的威力,近四周來,每位醫師平均所看診的腹瀉病患數,約在十五至十八人間,比去年同期平均的十二至十五人,明顯高出許多。傳染力強的諾羅病毒連醫師都無法倖免,台大醫院小兒部感染科主治醫師李秉穎表示,最近院內就有醫師感染諾羅病毒,狂瀉不止,連請幾天假,由於諾羅病毒的傳染途徑除了食物與飲水外,還包括了飛沫傳染,有時即使戴上口罩,也不一定能抵擋病毒入侵。疾管局呼籲,諾羅病毒能長時間存活在糞便或嘔吐物中,提醒民眾務必避免生食及勤洗手,如果出現上吐下瀉等症狀,也應盡速就醫。民眾若有相關疑問,也可撥打「1922」傳染病諮詢專線,或上疾管局網站(http://www.cdc.gov.tw)。

諾羅病毒 兒童急性腸胃炎常見原因 2005.4.19 記者王昶閔╱台北報導

諾羅病毒(Norovirus)最近被醫界證實是兒童急性腸胃炎的常見原因,過去因為檢測困難,經常被當成食物中毒來治療,台北榮總最新研究發現,每十個因為腸胃炎住院的兒童中,就有一個是諾羅病毒引起。這是國內首見的諾羅病毒兒童急性腸胃炎調查,台北榮總從去年一月到十二月間,共蒐集一百八十位腸胃炎患者的糞便,年齡介於五個月到二十歲之間,其中二十位證實感染諾羅病毒,盛行率約十一%。

台北榮總兒童醫學部腸胃科主任吳子聰指出,諾羅病毒主要是透過糞口傳染,發病期只有二到三天,患者全部出現嘔吐症狀,其次是腹瀉、發燒、呼吸道症狀,目前仍無疫苗與治療藥物,主要是症狀治療並預防脫水,雖然有時會在一到兩週內自行改善,但若脫水嚴重者,亦可能抽搐、休克、死亡。

諾羅病毒因為病毒株種類繁多,感染後無法終身免疫,因感染年齡層廣又不分季節,一年受害者總計超過主要感染三歲以下幼兒的輪狀病毒,成為兒童急性腸胃炎的重要元兇。諾羅病毒傳染力超強,只要一百隻病毒就會引發感染,對加氯的水具有抵抗性、不易被殺死,過去因為檢驗困難,不易發現,推測很多不明原因的食物中毒,可能都與諾羅病毒有關,受病毒污染的帶殼海鮮最易傳播病毒,即使經過加熱,也無法保證不會散播病毒。

今年初以來,國內已有老人之家、呼吸照護病房、精神科病房通報多起腸胃道集體感染,其中有十八例被證實是諾羅病毒,另有百餘名個案仍在調查。吳子聰表示,美國每年有五萬人因感染諾羅病毒住院,其中三百一十人因此死亡,去年底,日本一家老人安養院有四十二名老人感染、六人死亡,可說是公共衛生上的重要問題,不能掉以輕心。他指出,諾羅病毒傳染力強,經常是一人發病,全家人吐成一團。要預防感染,應該勤洗手,患者嘔吐物必須小心處理,被污染的表面,應以漂白水消毒,食物也應該徹底清洗。

The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal  cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv so why I'm leaving  my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.Dr Itua cures the following diseases.....  Herpes,Liver cancer,Throat cancerLeukemia.,Alzheimer's disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Copd,Parkinson,Als,Adrenocortical carcinoma  Infectious mononucleosis.
