概要
多中心临床数据显示, 部分 2019 冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 患者存在腹泻、 恶心和呕吐等胃肠道症状, 相关研究也证实严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型 (SARS-CoV-2) 能够在胃肠道复制并从粪便中分离到活的 SARS-CoV-2. 在意大利和澳大利亚等国, 其未处理的污水中检测到了 SARS-CoV-2, 且根据污水中 SARS-CoV-2 的含量估算出的 COVID-19 患者与临床实际感染患者较为一致. 粪便中的 SARS-CoV-2 能够挥发存在于气溶胶中并保持较长时间的活力, 故当人们暴露在被 SARS-CoV-2 污染的环境中即可能经 “粪便-气溶胶-粘膜” 途径感染 SARS-CoV-2, 而当人们食用被 SARS-CoV-2 污染的食物或水则可能经 “粪-口” 途径感染 SARS-CoV-2. 因此, 对可能被 COVID-19 患者粪便污染的环境或物品进行严格管理和有效消毒对控制 COVID-19 大流行具有重要意义.
