印度：新冠病毒、猴痘病毒，现在又来了“番茄流感”

据《今日印度》８月２１日报道，在新冠肺炎疫情持续的背景下，最近连续报告80多例“番茄流感”。

According to a report by “India Today” on the 21st, in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pneumonia epidemic, India has recently reported more than 80 cases of “tomato flu” in a row.

此外，在世界许多地区流行的猴痘病例也出现在印度，该国的卫生和防疫工作面临压力。

In addition, cases of monkeypox that are prevalent in many parts of the world have also appeared in India, and the country’s health and epidemic prevention is under pressure.

“番茄流感”或“番茄热”是一种罕见的病毒性疾病。“番茄流感”这个名字来自儿童身体上出现的番茄状水泡。

“Tomato flu” or “tomato fever” is a rare viral disease. The name “tomato flu” comes from the tomato-like blisters that appear on children’s bodies.

症状包括高烧、恶心、腹泻、脱水、关节肿胀和身体疼痛。

Symptoms include high fever, nausea, diarrhea, dehydration, swollen joints and body aches.

“番茄流感”具有高度传染性，主要感染人群为5岁以下免疫力低下的儿童。

“Tomato flu” is highly contagious, and the main infective population is children under the age of 5 with low immunity.

番茄流感是一种不明类型的发热，其确切病因尚不清楚。

Tomato flu is an unspecified type of fever, and the exact cause of the illness is unknown.

目前被认为是一种罕见的病毒感染。

It is currently considered a rare viral infection。

一些专家怀疑该疾病与基孔肯雅或登革热有关，后者是蚊子传播疾病的后遗症；

Some experts suspect that the disease is related to Chikungunya or dengue fever, a sequelae of mosquito-borne diseases;

其他人认为该疾病可能与柯萨奇病毒引起的手足口病有关。这种疾病的确切原因仍需要进一步的研究结果来证实。

others believe that the disease may be related to hand, foot and mouth disease caused by coxsackie virus. The exact cause of the disease still needs to be confirmed by further research results.

5岁以下的儿童易患番茄流感。常见症状包括：水泡：水泡出现在手掌、脚底、口腔、嘴唇、臀部、肘部等部位，最初是皮肤上的浅红色斑块，逐渐形成充满液体的红色水泡，类似番茄；皮肤刺激、高烧、脱水、身体疼痛、关节肿胀；

Children under 5 years of age are susceptible to tomato flu. Common symptoms include: Blisters: Blisters appear on the palms, soles, inside the mouth, lips, buttocks, elbows, etc., initially as light red patches on the skin, gradually forming a fluid-filled red Blisters, tomato-like; skin irritation, high fever, dehydration, body aches, swollen joints;

目前还没有针对番茄流感的具体治疗方法，只能对症治疗。

There is currently no specific treatment for tomato flu, and the disease can only be treated symptomatically.

番茄流感是自限性疾病的，症状通常在十天内消退，所以没有必要恐慌。

But it is self-limiting and symptoms usually subside within ten days, so there is no need to panic.

上周发表在《柳叶刀》上的一篇文章称，“番茄流感”病毒是一种新型手足口病，首次在印度南部喀拉拉邦的科尔拉姆地区发现。

An article published last week in The Lancet said the “tomato flu” virus, a new type of hand, foot and mouth disease, was first detected in Kollam district in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

到目前为止，它已经蔓延到泰米尔纳德邦和奥迪沙，感染了82名儿童，全部在5岁以下。

It has so far spread to Tamil Nadu and Odisha, infecting 82 children, all under the age of five.

应在症状出现后进行隔离5-7天，以防止感染扩散到其他儿童或成人。

Isolation should be undertaken for 5-7 days from the onset of symptoms to prevent the spread of infection to other children or adults .

预防的最佳解决方案是保持适当的卫生，对周围的必需品和环境进行消毒，并防止感染儿童与其他未感染儿童共享玩具、衣服、食物或其他物品。

The best solution for prevention is to maintain proper hygiene and sanitize surrounding necessities and the environment, and prevent infected children from sharing toys, clothing, food or other items with other uninfected children.
