截至7月6日,纽约市卫生官员正在调查位于上东区的卡内基山(Carnegie Hill)和约克维尔(Yorkville)社区爆发的军团病聚集性病例 [1]。该区域涉及邮编 10028、10128 及 10075 [1]。目前共确认了 23 例确诊病例,其中导致 17 次住院,暂无死亡报告 [1]。尽管官方指出疫情源头可能为当地建筑物的冷却塔,但美国疾控中心(CDC)数据显示,每 10 名患者中约有 1 人可能因并发症死亡 [1]。卫生部门建议出现流感样症状的居民尽快就医 [1]。
New York City health officials are investigating a cluster of Legionnaires' disease cases affecting two communities on the city's Upper East Side [1]. As of July 6, authorities have confirmed 23 positive cases and reported that 17 individuals required hospitalization due to their condition [1]. Despite the number of infections, there have been no reports of fatalities in this specific outbreak so far [1]. However, officials noted data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicating a general risk where one out of every ten patients may die if complications arise [1]. The suspected source of the infection is identified as cooling towers located within buildings in the affected area [1]. Residents living in Carnegie Hill and Yorkville—specifically those with zip codes 10028, 10128, and 10075—are advised to seek immediate medical attention if they experience flu-like symptoms [1].
