  北半球流感肆虐,美国流感疫情严重,除了夏威夷外全部州份都已”沦陷”,至少三名妈妈在照顾患病家人期间染病病逝,美国疾病预防及控制中心(CDC)警告,这波流感来势汹汹,平时健康的人反而更易”中招”,呼吁民众提高警戒,尽快接种疫苗。

  来自印第安纳州的37岁妈妈斯莱文(Karlie Slaven)是其中一名病逝的妈妈。她上周本来仍然健康,当时她的丈夫以及两名孩子全部染病留家休息,”她要照顾所有人,因此感到有点筋疲力竭”,岂料到周五她自己也染病。她看病后回家休息,但病情无好转,翌日到急症室求诊,当时照肺仍然清晰,但呼吸困难,到周日再被送入急症室但抢救无效病逝,前后只有 3天。

  36岁妈妈哈曼(Tandy Harmon)更在感染两日内病逝。她上周三看病时确诊流感,医生开药建议她回家休息,岂料离开医院两小时后病情急剧恶化紧急送院,要靠呼吸机辅助,可惜仍没有好转,当晚她已要靠仪器维生,最终疑因免疫力下降,因肺炎及血液感染耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA),周五在多个器官衰竭下病逝。

此外,47岁妈妈阿克顿(Katherine Acton)也因照顾儿子而染病死亡,朋友指,她平时很注重饮食健康,更常常做运动健身,没料染病后几天已病逝。她本来还计划在秋天与男友结婚,如今却遗下了未婚夫及两名儿子。

  世衞传染病专家韦伯(Dr Richard Webby)警告,今波疫情非常严重,绝非危言耸听,但承认家长照顾病童时,除了接种疫苗及勤洗手外,可以做的预防措施不多,他说:”若然家里有(传染病)高风险人士,你可以戴口罩,另外必须要勤洗手。”
