中新社北京3月30日电 (记者 李纯)清华大学万科公共卫生与健康学院的副教授、博士生导师朱纪明近日在接受中新社专访时表示，面对“X疾病”的讨论，公众不必过于恐慌，但应保持警醒，积极应对可能的新发传染病挑战。
朱纪明指出，世界卫生组织(WHO)近期再次提及“X疾病”，其意图并非引起恐慌，而是旨在提醒国际社会，我们需要对未知的、可能的新发传染病保持警惕。他强调，X疾病这一概念是为了象征那些尚未被发现或尚未引起广泛注意的疾病，旨在推动全球卫生系统的前瞻性思考和准备。
他表示，随着全球化的加速和环境变化，新发传染病的出现频率可能会增加。因此，公众理解并接受“X疾病”的概念，有助于提高对公共卫生事件的敏感性和应对能力。朱纪明建议，个人应加强健康生活习惯，政府和机构则应加强监测体系，提升快速响应和科研能力，以确保在新疾病出现时能够迅速识别和有效控制。
朱纪明的见解为当前的公共卫生讨论提供了理性且务实的视角，呼吁全球共同构建更加健全的疾病防控网络，以应对未来可能出现的“X疾病”挑战。

BEIJING, March 30 (Xinhua) – In a recent exclusive interview with Xinhua, Dr. Zhu Jieming, an associate professor and doctoral supervisor at the Tsinghua University Vanke School of Public Health, said the public should not overly panic about “Disease X,” but should remain vigilant and adopt a proactive attitude towards potential new infectious disease challenges.
Zhu pointed out that the World Health Organization (WHO)’s recent mention of “Disease X” is not meant to instill fear, but to remind the international community of the need to be prepared for unknown or emerging infectious diseases. He emphasized that Disease X serves as a symbol for as-yet-undiscovered or underappreciated diseases, encouraging proactive thinking and preparation within global health systems.
Acknowledging that the acceleration of globalization and environmental changes may increase the frequency of new infectious diseases, Zhu suggested that public understanding of the Disease X concept can enhance sensitivity to public health events and improve response capabilities. He recommended individuals to maintain healthy habits, while governments and institutions should strengthen surveillance systems and boost rapid response and research capabilities to promptly identify and effectively control new diseases.
Zhu’s perspective contributes a rational and pragmatic view to current public health discussions, calling for a global effort to build a more robust disease prevention and control network to address future Disease X challenges.
