普利昂感染疫情捲土重來?【醫事綜探】 試閱
鹿慢性消耗病是普利昂蛋白所引發的腦部病變,人類感染普利昂蛋白時則稱為庫賈氏病.鹿慢性消耗病通常發生於北美及南韓,然而,於2016年卻在挪威發現已死亡的馴鹿有感染鹿慢性消耗病的症狀,究竟是如何跨區來到歐洲尚有待研究。雖然鹿傳人的可能性為未知,但無法排除因此對人類造成嚴重傷害的可能性。臺灣「捐血者健康標準」中已禁止(或限制)庫賈氏病患者及高危險族群從事捐血活動。
In 2016, a sick female reindeer was diagnosed Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in South-Norway. CWD is a deadly disease in cervids. The disease was thought to be found in North America and South Korea; however this is the first detection of CWD in Europe. Also, this is the first time that this disease is detected in the wild. Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (CJD) is a human prion disorder. It is a neurodegenerative disorder with characteristic clinical and diagnostic features. There is no confirmed effective treatment to arrest or cure CJD at the present time. In Taiwan, the government advocates people should never donate blood, tissues, or organs if they have suspected or confirmed CJD, or if they are at increased risk because of a family history of the disease, a dura mater graft, or other factor.
