Medical records show the Texas nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for a dying Liberian man repeatedly visited his room from the day he was admitted to the intensive care unit until the day before he died. 26 year old nurse Nina Pham became infected with Ebola while treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who contracted the disease in Africa then came to the United States and died in a Texas Hospital last week. She is in stable condition in an isolation ward in that same hospital. Pham wore full protective gear when she treated Duncan. Authorities aren’t sure how she became infected but suspect she may have come into contact with the virus while taking off all that gear. "If it is contaminated, there is the possibility that a worker will contaminate themselves and become infected in that process," Tom Frieden of US Centers For Disease Control And Prevention said. All other health care workers who treated Duncan are now being monitored for signs of infection as are 48 other people who had contact with Duncan. "All of those 48 contacts have been monitored daily," Frieden said. "None of them have developed fever or other symptoms as of now." And US health officials are now reviewing procedures for handling Ebola cases and encouraging hospitals across the country to be ready. "We have to rethink the way we address ebola infection control because even a single infection is unacceptable," Frieden said. US President Barack Obama was briefed on the Ebola situation at the White House Monday And in Liberia, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, nurses and medical assistants have threatened to go on strike over hazard pay for working in high risk Ebola wards. They complain of inadequate safety equipment but so far most health professionals have been coming to work as usual. 本栏目更多同类内容 扫码关注和谐英语微信公众号,第一时间获取最新学习资料 或公众号搜索myhxen 上一篇 英国政府启动首个人民币债券发行 下一篇 世界佛教徒联谊会在中国召开 相关文章 数百苹果应用程序感染了病毒中国感染H7N9病毒人数上升纽约首名感染埃博拉医生康复出院西班牙感染埃博拉护士恢复中国确诊新增5例H7N9禽流感病例艾滋病新发感染和死亡人数继续下降浙江新增一例人感染H7N9病例中国卫生部发出预防大肠杆菌感染的通知中国确诊第二例甲型H1N1流感患者四川成都确诊首例甲型H1N1流感
