Abstract

In December 2015, an asylum seeker originating from Afghanistan was diagnosed with respiratory diphtheria in Finland. He arrived in Finland from Sweden where he had already been clinically suspected and tested for diphtheria. Corynebacterium diphtheriae was confirmed in Sweden and shown to be genotypically and phenotypically toxigenic. The event highlights the importance of early case detection, rapid communication within the country and internationally as well as preparedness plans of diphtheria antitoxin availability.

摘要

2015 年 12 月，一名来自阿富汗的寻求庇护者在芬兰被诊断患有呼吸道白喉。他从瑞典抵达芬兰，在瑞典他已经因临床疑似白喉而接受了检查和检测。在瑞典确认了白喉棒状杆菌，且显示其在基因型和表型上均具有毒力。该事件突出表明了早期病例发现、在国内和国际范围内快速交流以及白喉抗毒素供应准备计划的重要性。
