美国疾控中心主任周三透露,鉴于俄罗斯西伯利亚地区可能发生肺鼠疫疫情,该机构正与联邦各机构协调,对入境美国的来自该地区的旅客进行监测。

疾控中心主任埃丽卡·施瓦茨博士表示,特朗普政府正跨多个部门追踪从该地区抵达的旅客,此前一名俄罗斯实验室工作人员神秘死亡,她同时强调,美国人面临的风险仍然极低。

“我们非常有信心,美国面临的威胁极低,”施瓦茨周三在《华尔街日报》健康论坛上说道。

此次担忧源于10月2日28岁的希皮洛娃的死亡,她是西伯利亚伊尔库茨克抗鼠疫研究所的雇员,她的死亡引发了人们对可能感染肺鼠疫的猜测。

俄罗斯当局坚称希皮洛娃死于不明原因肺炎,并未确认她感染了引发肺鼠疫的鼠疫耶尔森菌。

施瓦茨表示,疾控中心正与国土安全部、国务院、国防部以及其他联邦机构合作,追踪来自该地区的潜在入境人员。

“大约有200个航班从西伯利亚该地区飞往美国,”施瓦茨说,补充道这些航班通常降落在纽约肯尼迪国际机场。

“我们在肯尼迪机场设立了港口卫生站,以便如果有来自该地区的人进入美国,我们可以开展适当的监测和筛查,”她继续说道。

疾控中心主任强调,尽管肺鼠疫是一种严重的细菌感染,可通过呼吸道飞沫在人与人之间传播,但早期发现和治疗可以避免死亡。

“如果要说有什么好事的话,那就是这是一种可治疗的、极易治疗的细菌性疾病,美国大多数医生都可以使用普通抗生素进行治疗,”施瓦茨说。

根据疾控中心的信息,这种疾病由鼠疫耶尔森菌引起,被认为是最严重的鼠疫类型。症状可能包括发热、胸痛、咳嗽和快速发展的肺炎。该机构警告称,如果不及时进行抗生素治疗,感染可能致命。

世界卫生组织(WHO)已敦促莫斯科提供更多关于希皮洛娃死亡的信息。

据欧洲新闻电视台报道,俄罗斯当局已将与已故实验室工作人员有过接触的约200人隔离。据美联社报道,伊尔库茨克州州长伊戈尔·科布泽夫周四表示,预防措施已完成,约5000次实验室检测未发现病原体。

然而,据美联社报道,俄罗斯官员并未公开确认导致希皮洛娃肺炎的病原体,也未明确排除肺鼠疫是其死亡原因。

当被问及莫斯科是否向美国当局提供了足够透明的信息时,施瓦茨表示,政府仍在寻求答案。

“我们仍在就西伯利亚到底发生了什么进行沟通,”她说,并补充道美国官员正在依据一起未确认的肺鼠疫病例相关信息开展工作。

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is coordinating with federal agencies to monitor travelers entering the United States from Siberia amid concerns about a possible pneumonic plague outbreak in Russia, the agency’s director revealed Wednesday.

CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz said the Trump administration is working across multiple agencies to identify travelers arriving from the region following the mysterious death of a Russian laboratory worker, while emphasizing that the risk to Americans remains minimal.

“We are very confident that the threat to the United States is extremely low,” Schwartz said during a Wall Street Journal health forum Wednesday.

MOTHER OF DEAD RUSSIAN ANTI-PLAGUE INSTITUTE WORKER: ‘I KNOW THE TRUTH’

Darya Shipilova, 28, an employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East, died after developing pneumonia of an unknown cause, prompting quarantines and heightened health precautions in the region. Russian authorities say testing has found no evidence her illness was linked to pathogens she worked with.(East2West news)

The concerns stem from the Oct. 2 death of Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia, whose death has fueled speculation about a possible pneumonic plague infection.

Russian authorities have maintained that Shipilova died from pneumonia of unknown origin and have not confirmed that she was infected with Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes pneumonic plague.

Schwartz said the CDC is working with the departments of Homeland Security, State and War, among other federal agencies, to track potential arrivals from the region.

“There are about 200 flights that come into the United States from Siberia, that region,” Schwartz said, adding that those flights typically arrive at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

“We have a port health station set up in JFK so that we can do appropriate surveillance and screening if anyone from that area comes into the United States,” she continued.

The CDC director stressed that while pneumonic plague is a serious bacterial infection capable of spreading between people through respiratory droplets, early detection and treatment can prevent deaths.

“The one good thing, if I could say there’s a good thing, is that it’s a treatable, highly treatable bacterial disease with common antibiotics that most physicians within the United States can utilize,” Schwartz said.

The illness is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is considered the most serious form of plague, according to the CDC. Symptoms can include fever, chest pain, coughing and rapidly developing pneumonia. Without prompt antibiotic treatment, the infection can be fatal, the agency warns.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has pressed Moscow for additional information about Shipilova’s death.

Russian authorities placed approximately 200 people who had contact with the deceased laboratory worker under quarantine, according to Euronews. On Thursday, Irkutsk Gov. Igor Kobzev said preventive measures had been completed and roughly 5,000 laboratory tests had detected no pathogens, according to the Associated Press.

However, Russian officials have not publicly identified the pathogen responsible for Shipilova’s pneumonia or definitively ruled out pneumonic plague as the cause of her death, according to The Associated Press.

Asked whether Moscow was being sufficiently transparent with American authorities, Schwartz indicated that the administration was still seeking answers.

“We are still having those conversations about what exactly happened in Siberia,” she said, adding that U.S. officials were working with information about an unconfirmed case of pneumonic plague.
