致死率高達6成! 疾管署提醒清明掃墓小心恙蟲叮咬 自由電子報 〔記者林惠琴/台北報導〕
清明連假將至,小心蟲蟲大軍伺機而動!衛福部疾管署今(26)日公布,今年全台已累計有9例恙蟲病,個案感染地以花東最多,提醒民眾野外掃墓或出遊要落實個人防護,否則恙蟲叮咬未經妥適治療,致死率可高達6成。
我國全年皆有恙蟲病病例,歷年資料顯示通報數自4至5月開始上升,6至7月達高峰,東部及離島感染病例數較多。

疾管署副署長曾淑慧表示,今年已累計9例恙蟲病,個案感染地為花蓮、台東各3例,高雄、台中各1例,以及1例足跡難以確定感染縣市。
今年病例數略低於2021年至2024年同期的介於16至30例。 恙蟲病是由帶有立克次體的恙螨叮咬而傳染。恙螨會停留於草叢中,伺機攀附到經過的人類或動物身上,宿主遭肉眼幾乎看不見、具傳染性的恙蟎幼蟲叮咬,並經由其唾液感染立克次體,但不會直接由人傳染人。
臨床症狀包含高燒、頭痛、背痛、惡寒、盜汗、淋巴結腫大,且恙蟎叮咬處出現無痛性的焦痂,1週後皮膚出現紅色斑狀丘疹,有時會併發肺炎或肝功能異常。
在沒有經過適當治療的病患中,死亡率可高達6成。 曾淑慧提醒,民眾前往掃墓祭祖或從事踏青等戶外活動時,如有接觸到草叢環境,務必做好個人防護措施,包括穿著淺色長袖衣褲、手套、長筒襪及長靴等保護性衣物,將褲管紮入襪內,並在衣物及皮膚裸露部位使用政府機關核可含敵避(DEET)、派卡瑞丁(Picaridin)或伊默克(IR3535)成分的防蚊藥劑。
此外,曾淑慧指出,在離開草叢環境後,應儘速沐浴並更換全部衣物時,並檢查全身是否有蚊蟲附著或叮咬痕跡,若有疑似感染或症狀時,應儘速就醫並告知醫師相關活動史。

Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy
Ive been walkin these streets so long
Singin the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustles the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
Theres been a load of compromisin
On the road to my horizon
But Im gonna be where the lights are shinin on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I dont even know
And offers comin over the phone
Well, I really dont mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But youre down when youre ridin the train
Thats takin the long way
And I dream of the things Ill do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
Therell be a load of compromisin
On the road to my horizon
But Im gonna be where the lights are shinin on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin cards and letters from people I dont even know
And offers comin over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin cards and letters from people I dont even know....
