Erkrankungen durch hochpathogene Erreger – Teil 1

Aufgrund der weltweit zunehmenden Mobilität gewinnen auch reiseassoziierte Erkrankungen an Bedeutung. Lebensbedrohliche Infektionskrankheiten können schwer kontrollierbare Ausbruchsituationen hervorrufen und stellen somit ein Risiko für das betreuende medizinische Personal, aber auch für die Allgemeinbevölkerung dar. In Teil 1 geht es um hämorrhagische Fiebererkrankungen sowie deren Infektionswege, Symptome und Behandlung.

Kernaussagen

• Aufgrund der weltweiten Mobilitätszunahme gewinnen auch reiseassoziierte Erkrankungen an Bedeutung.

• Zu den Infektionskrankheiten, die durch hochpathogene Erreger verursacht werden, gehören virale hämorrhagische Fieber (Ebola-, Marburg-, Lassa-, Krim-Kongo-Fieber), invasive Coronavirus-Infektionen wie das Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), aviäre Influenza, Lungenpest, Lungenmilzbrand und Infektionen mit einigen Pockenarten (z.B. Affenpocken).

• Lebensbedrohliche Infektionskrankheiten haben das Potenzial, schwer kontrollierbare Ausbruchsituationen hervorzurufen und sind somit v.a. eine Gefahr für das betreuende medizinische Personal, aber auch für die Allgemeinbevölkerung (High Consequence Infectious Diseases, HCID).
