Sindbis virus (SINV) caused a large outbreak in Finland in 2021 with 566 laboratory-confirmed human cases and a notable geographical expansion. Compared with the last large outbreak in 2002, incidence was higher in several hospital districts but lower in traditionally endemic locations in eastern parts of the country. A high incidence is also expected in 2022. Awareness of SINV should be raised in Finland to increase recognition of the disease and prevent transmission through the promotion of control measures.
辛德比斯病毒（SINV）于 2021 年在芬兰引发了大规模疫情，共有 566 例实验室确诊的人类病例，并出现显著的地理扩张。与上一次 2002 年的大爆发相比，几个医院区的发病率较高，但在该国东部传统流行地区的发病率较低。预计 2022 年的发病率也会很高。芬兰应该提高对 SINV 的认识，以提高对该疾病的认识，并通过推广控制措施来防止传播。
