登革熱和屈公病都是一種環境病、社區病,只要環境中存在適當的孳生源,就有登革熱和屈公病流行的可能性。即使只是一個被任意丟棄的空杯、空罐、空盒、廢保麗龍箱或廢輪胎,或其他非廢棄物,如樹洞、民眾堆置於戶外會積水的物品,都可能是孳生源,更遑論目前仍有為數不少的空地、空屋或廢棄的工廠等建物,更是病媒蚊孳生的溫床。因此登革熱和屈公病防治工作,絕非單一機關、組織或單位能獨挑大樑的。對地方政府而言,若希望登革熱和屈公病的防治工作能效益顯著,地方首長必須強力召集地方政府各單位共同參與,才能有效清除病媒蚊孳生源。所以「跨局處(室)的合作機制」絕對是登革熱和屈公病防治成功與否的最重要影響因素。英文內容大要: Dengue and Chikungunya are kinds of environment, community diseases, as long as the proper breeding sources exist in the environment, there are epidemic possibilities. Even only a discarded empty cup, can or waste tire, are likely to be breeding sources, not to mention there are still a large number of vacancy or abandoned factories, they are hotbed for mosquito breeding. Therefore, prevention and treatment of Dengue and Chikungunya, not a single organization can achieved alone. If local governments want to gain significantly benefit on Dengue and Chikungunya prevention and control measures, local leaders must convene all government units to participate in order to effectively eliminate mosquito breeding sources, cross-departmental cooperation mechanisms is definitely the most important factors that influence the success of disease prevention.
人類普利昂蛋白造成的感染症,以庫賈氏病與新型庫賈氏病為最常見。庫賈氏病可分為散發型、遺傳型、與醫源型。其中占率少於1%的醫源型庫賈氏病,為醫療照護上的防治重點。本次更新版本的「庫賈氏病等人類普利昂病診療照護及感染管制工作手冊」,內容分為「診療照護」及「感染管制」兩大主題;診療部分包括疾病與致病原、診斷與病程、罹病風險等,感管部分包括個案的醫療管理與追蹤規範、風險評估與管理、醫材評估與再處理、致病原去活化,以及個案在醫療機構、長期照顧機構與居家,包括防護措施、環境清潔、廢棄物處理與遺體處理等的照護原則。冀望提供醫療機構與臨床工作人員對庫賈氏病照護處置的原則與執行的依據,以達維護病人安全的宗旨。
