Minn. illnesses worry CDC officials
ATLANTA – Five Minnesota children have grown sick — and one of them died — from a germ that can cause meningitis, causing U.S. health officials to warn of the importance of a common childhood vaccine.
The Hib vaccine, which is given to babies, has succeeded in reducing U.S. cases of the bacterial illness to about only 20 a year in children younger than 5. But a cluster of five cases occurred in central Minnesota last year in young children. One child, who was 7 months old, died of meningitis in November.
No other states have reported such an increase. But Minnesota's disease surveillance is unusually good, so problems in other states could be developing, said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Three of the five children — including the dead child — had not received any vaccine, due to a decision by their parents. But a shortage of Hib vaccine may also have contributed, CDC officials said.
Haemophilus influenzae Serotype b (Hib) can cause meningitis, pneumonia and other dangers. Because of a Hib vaccine shortage that started in 2007, CDC officials say doctors should defer for most children a booster dose given at 12 to 15 months. But they say there's enough for children to get necessary doses at ages 2, 4 and 6 months. 认领 24小时上交 Minn. illnesses worry CDC officials

亚特兰大消息-近来明尼苏达州的五名儿童相继受到一种可致脑膜炎的病菌感染，并且一人已死亡.由此美国卫生部门官员发出了对于普通儿童用疫苗重要性的警告。

目前儿童用的乙型流感疫苗已成功地将美国5岁以下儿童细菌感染性疾病的年发病量减少到了仅20例.然而去年在明尼苏达州中部爆发了五例小儿感染病例，其中一名7月大的幼儿因脑膜炎于11月不治身亡.
No other states have reported such an increase. But Minnesota's disease surveillance is unusually good, so problems in other states could be developing, said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
来自美国疾控与预防中心的Anne Schuchat博士表示虽然目前还没有其他州报告有病例的增加，但是鉴于明尼苏达州的疾病监控是极其优秀的，因而其他州的情况可能也将随之严峻起来

美国疾病预防控制中心官员们介绍说那五名患儿中的三例，其中包括已死亡病例，从未接种过任何疫苗.出现这样的情况，有责于患儿父母的决定，但是疫苗短缺的问题也不可忽视。

乙型流感嗜血杆菌（Hib）可引起脑膜炎，肺炎及其他风险. 然而，美国疾病预防控制中心官员们表示说始于2007年的的乙型流感疫苗短缺问题使得医生们推迟了对于大部分12至15个月龄儿童的足量疫苗接种计划.但是他们同时表示，对于2，4和6个月龄的幼儿还是可以得到足量的疫苗接种. 自己顶一下 第一次在园子里翻译 希望前辈多多指点 呵呵 大年夜翻这个 蛮有纪念意义的 祝大家牛年吉祥哈 园子越来越兴旺 [标签:content1][标签:content2]
