紅洋蔥與沙門氏菌爆發(fā)有關，已經(jīng)導致31個州的人生病

A multistate outbreak of salmonella poisoning that has sickened almost 400 people in 31 states has been traced back to red onions, federal health officials said.

聯(lián)邦衛(wèi)生官員稱，美國31個州爆發(fā)的沙門氏菌中毒事件已導致近400人患病，其源頭可追溯至紅洋蔥。

And a company based in Bakersfield, California is the likely source of the potentially contaminated onions, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

根據(jù)美國食品和藥物管理局的說法，一家位于加州貝克爾斯菲爾德的公司可能是可能受到污染的洋蔥的來源。

"Although the investigation has determined that red onions are the likely source of this outbreak, Thomson International, Inc. has notified FDA that it will be recalling all varieties of onions that could have come in contact with potentially contaminated red onions, due to the risk of cross-contamination," the agency said in a statement Friday.

湯姆森國際公司星期五在一份聲明中說：“盡管調(diào)查已經(jīng)確定紅洋蔥是這次疫情的可能源頭，但湯姆森國際公司已經(jīng)通知食品和藥物管理局，由于存在交叉污染的風險，它將召回所有可能接觸到可能被污染的紅洋蔥的洋蔥品種。”

The onion recall will include red, white, yellow and sweet onions from Thomson International.

召回的洋蔥將包括湯姆森國際公司的紅洋蔥、白洋蔥、黃洋蔥和甜洋蔥。

So far salmonella Newport has sickened 396 people and put nearly 60 into the hospital. The first cases were reported between June 19 and July 11, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

到目前為止，紐波特沙門氏菌已導致396人患病，近60人住院。美國疾病控制與預防中心表示，首例病例出現(xiàn)在6月19日至7月11日之間。

The FDA said the investigation into the outbreak is continuing to determine whether any other products are linked to the illness. Salmonella cases with a similar genetic fingerprint to the US cases have also been identified in Canada.

FDA表示，對疫情的調(diào)查仍在繼續(xù)，以確定是否有其他產(chǎn)品與該病有關。加拿大也發(fā)現(xiàn)了與美國病例基因指紋相似的沙門氏菌病例。

Signs of salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps between six hours and six days after exposure to the bacteria, the CDC said. People are usually sick for between four and seven days. Those under age 5, those over 65 and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to experience severe illness.

美國疾病控制與預防中心說，沙門氏菌感染的癥狀包括在接觸細菌后6小時至6天內(nèi)出現(xiàn)腹瀉、發(fā)燒和胃痙攣。人們通常生病4到7天。5歲以下、65歲以上和免疫系統(tǒng)較弱的人更有可能患上嚴重疾病。

In some cases, the infection can spread from the intestines to other parts of the body and require hospitalization.

在某些情況下，感染可以從腸道擴散到身體的其他部位，需要住院治療。

The CDC is urging anyone with symptoms of salmonella poisoning to contact a doctor, write down what they ate the week before they became sick, report the illness to the health department and communicate with health investigators about their illness.

疾控中心敦促任何有沙門氏菌中毒癥狀的人聯(lián)系醫(yī)生，寫下患病前一周吃了什么，向衛(wèi)生部門報告病情，并與衛(wèi)生調(diào)查人員就自己的疾病進行溝通。
