美军阿富汗基地发现人类血传新病毒
RARE VIRUS POSES NEW
THREAT TO TROOPS: U.S.
military officials sent a medical team to a remote outpost in
southern Afghanistan this week to take blood samples from members
of an Army unit after a soldier in the unit died from an Ebola-like
virus. Dr. Jim Radike, an expert in internal medicine and
infectious diseases at the Role 3 Trauma Hospital at Kandahar Air
Field, told The Washington Times that Sgt. Robert David Gordon, 22,
from River Falls, Ala., died Sept. 16 from what turned out to be
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever after he was bitten by a tick. The
virus is transmitted by infected blood and can be carried by ticks,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
