加纳敦促食品供应商在伤寒爆发时进行测试改革,推动改进诊断和疫苗。 Ghana urges food vendor testing reform amid typhoid outbreaks, pushing for better diagnostics and vaccines.

加纳医学协会的Ernest Yorke教授于2025年10月4日敦促食品供应商认证改革,他引用了Widal分析等不可靠的伤寒测试,这些测试往往由于地方病区的交叉反应和高抗体水平而产生虚假结果。 Professor Ernest Yorke of the Ghana Medical Association urged reforms in food vendor certification on October 4, 2025, citing unreliable typhoid tests like the Widal assay, which often yield false results due to cross-reactivity and high antibody levels in endemic areas. 他主张进行马桶检查,以更好地发现无症状载体,并呼吁提交一份立场文件,以指导卫生和地方政府机构的政策变化。 He advocated for stool exams to better detect asymptomatic carriers and called for a position paper to guide policy changes with health and local government agencies. 专家们强调,血液文化是诊断的黄金标准,警告说抗微生物抗药性会上升,建议使用乙酰苯并霉素或第三代甲状腺素治疗。 Experts emphasized blood culture as the gold standard for diagnosis, warned of rising antimicrobial resistance, and recommended azithromycin or third-generation cephalosporins for treatment. 预防取决于改善个人卫生、环境卫生和食物安全。 Prevention hinges on improved hygiene, sanitation, and food safety. 加纳计划引进伤寒类同疫苗,首先从食品销售商开始,最近在奥蒂、伏尔塔和东部地区爆发疫情,那里的卫生条件差,清洁用水有限。 Ghana plans to introduce typhoid conjugate vaccines, starting with food vendors, amid recent outbreaks in the Oti, Volta, and Eastern Regions, where poor sanitation and limited clean water persist.
