埃博拉病毒的传播途径及医务人员的个人防护装备研究进展

Research progress on the transmission route of Ebola virus and personal protective equipment of healthcare workers

埃博拉病毒病是一种急性烈性传染病,接触传播是其最重要的传播途径,然而在适当的条件下通过气溶胶的传播是可能发生的,消化道传播和性传播的可能性不能完全排除。处于埃博拉病毒污染环境中的医务人员选择更安全的个人防护装备是必要的,并应掌握其使用方法,建议根据情况选择电动送风过滤式呼吸器(PAPR),防护效果更好。

Ebola virus disease is an acute infectious disease. Contact transmission is the most important transmission route; however, Ebola virus is likely aerosol transmissible under appropriate conditions, and the possibility of gastrointestinal and sexual transmission can not be completely excluded. It is necessary for healthcare workers to select much safer personal protective equipment in the environment polluted by Ebola virus; meanwhile, healthcare workers should master its using methods. The results suggest that choosing powered air purifying respirator （PAPR） based on the situation of the environment may have a better pro- tective effect.
