亚洲首现易引发重症M痘病例 泰国加强疫情防控
泰国卫生部门8月22日宣布，该国首次发现感染易引发重症病毒类型的M痘（猴痘）病例，患者是一名60多岁的欧洲男性公民。这标志着亚洲地区首次出现这种更严重的M痘病毒株。
据悉，该患者于8月14日从疫情扩散的非洲国家经中东入境泰国。他目前正在医院接受治疗，尚未出现严重症状。泰国卫生部门已对该男子在飞机上附近座位上的40多名乘客进行调查，目前尚未发现任何相关症状，但将继续对其进行密切观察。
M痘是一种病毒性传染病，感染后会出现发烧、皮疹等症状。2022年，欧美等地曾相继出现M痘确诊病例。今年以来，以刚果民主共和国为主的非洲地区再度出现疫情蔓延，并确认到易引发重症的病毒类型。鉴于此，世界卫生组织（WHO）于8月14日宣布，M痘构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。
泰国卫生部门表示，将密切关注疫情发展，并采取必要的防控措施，包括加强边境检疫、提高公众意识、加强医疗机构的应对能力等。
此次泰国发现易引发重症的M痘病例，引发了亚洲地区对疫情的担忧。专家提醒，公众应注意个人卫生，避免接触疑似患者，并及时就医。同时，各国应加强疫情监测和防控，防止疫情进一步蔓延。
