Human Cases with Novel Coronavirus Human Cases with Novel Coronavirus InfectionInfection人類感染新型冠狀病毒的個案人類感染新型冠狀病毒的個案

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported a case of novel coronavirus infection with travel history to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Qatar on September 23, 2012. 世界衛生組織於今年九月二十三日報告一宗曾經到過沙特阿拉伯王國和卡塔爾外遊的新型冠狀病毒感染個案。


The case was a previously healthy, 49-year-old male Qatari national who had travel history to the KSA prior to onset of illness, presented with respiratory symptoms on September 3, 2012. 病者為一名無病患記錄的 49歲卡塔爾籍男子，於今年九

月三日開始出現呼吸道徵狀，並在病發前曾經到過沙特阿拉伯王國。

He is currently receiving treatment for severe respiratory illness in London. The Health Protection Agency of the United Kingdom (HPA) conducted laboratory testing and has confirmed the presence of a novel coronavirus. 他現正因嚴重呼吸道疾病於英國倫敦接受治療。英國衞生

防護局為病者的樣本進行測試，證實所感染的為一種新型冠狀病毒。


HPA found that the virus isolate* from this patient was highly similar to the coronavirus identified from another fatal case in a 60 year-old male, Saudi national, reported earlier on September 20, 2012. 英國衞生防護局發現從此病者分離出的病毒，

與另一位於九月二十日報告的 60 歲沙特阿拉伯籍男死者的新型冠狀病毒非常相近。


To enhance monitoring of the novel coronavirus in Hong Kong, the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health has set up an enhanced surveillance mechanism with public and private hospitals for any suspected cases of novel coronavirus infection. 為加強在香港監察新型冠狀病毒，衞生署衞生

防護中心已經與各公私營醫院設立加強監測的機制，以監測任何懷疑感染新型冠狀病毒的個案。


Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which includes viruses that cause the common cold and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Given that this is a novel coronavirus, WHO is currently in the process of obtaining further information to determine the public health implications of these two confirmed cases. 冠狀病毒可分為很多種類，包括可引致傷風及嚴重

急性呼吸綜合症的病毒。鑑於這次的病毒為新型冠狀病毒，世界衛生組織現時正在收集更多資料，以了解該兩宗個案對公共衞生的影響。


In Hong Kong, our Public Health Laboratory Centre has the capacity to detect this virus. No human infection with this virus has been identified so far in Hong Kong. 在香港，公共衞生檢測中心可有效檢測到該種病毒。截至目前為止，香港並未發現有人類感染該種病毒的個案。

CHP will closely monitor the progress of further epidemiological investigations and surveillance, and the corresponding advice from the WHO. 衞生防護中心將密切留意世界衛生組織的流行病學調

查及監察的進展，以及相關的建議。

Introduction / 引言 1. There are recent concerns over the presence of t

he potential carcinogenic chemical malachite green (MG) in eels, processed eel products and freshwater fish. This brief gives an account of this substance and the risk to public health in light of available scientific information and the recent food surveillance findings.

1. 關於發現有些鰻魚、鰻魚製品及淡水魚含有可能致癌的化學物孔雀石綠一事，最近備受關注。本簡訊根據現有的科學資料和最近的食物監察結果，介紹孔雀石綠和闡釋這種化學物對公眾健康的風險。

Malachite Green / 孔雀石綠 1. Malachite green (MG) is a synthetic dye used

to colour different materials such as silk, wool, cotton and paper.

孔雀石綠是一種合成染劑，用於染真絲、羊毛、棉和紙 ( 等物品 )。

Malachite Green / 孔雀石綠動筆！ 2. MG has been used commonly worldwide in aqua

culture as early as the 1930s and is considered by many in the food industry as an effective antifungal agent. It has been used for the treatment of parasitic, fungal and protozoan diseases in fish.

Malachite Green / 孔雀石綠 3. When fish is treated with MG, this substance

will be absorbed and metabolised in tissues of fish. It has been reported that one of its major metabolites, namely, leucomalachite green (LMG), would persist in fish tissues for a long period of time.

3. 使用孔雀石綠治療魚類，該物質會被魚類的組織吸收和進行新陳代謝。有報告指出，其中一種主要代謝物 “無色孔雀石綠” 會長時間留在魚的組織內。

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響 1. International food safety authorities such as

the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have not evaluated the safety of MG.

1. 聯合國糧食及農業組織∕世界衛生組織聯合食物添加劑專家委員會 (JECFA)，以及國際癌症研究機構 (IARC) 等國際食物安全組織，都未有評估孔雀石綠的食用安全問題。

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響 2. In some research studies in experimental an

imals, MG was found to be toxic to the liver, cause anaemia and abnormalities in the thyroid, and affect the foetal development of the experimental animals.

2. 利用動物進行的實驗研究結果顯示，孔雀石綠會毒害實驗動物的肝臟，引致貧血和甲狀腺異常，以及影響胎兒成長。

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響動筆！ 3. Animal studies also found that MG may caus

e liver tumours in mice. However, there is yet no evidence of carcinogenicity for MG in humans.

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響動筆！ 4. As for genotoxicity (ability to cause damage

to genes), there are conflicting evidences in the international scientific community on whether MG and LMG cause gene mutation or damage to the gene.

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響 5. Due to its ability to cause cancer in experiment

al animals, it is not appropriate to use MG in food fish. Given the toxicological information available, extensive abuse of MG in aquaculture may result in excessive exposure to MG by the consumers resulting in adverse health consequences.

5. 由於孔雀石綠會令實驗動物患癌，因此不適宜在食用魚身上使用。根據現有的毒理學資料顯示，如在養殖水產時濫用孔雀石綠，進食該些水產的人士可能因而過量攝取這種化學物，以致健康受損。

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響 6. However, in light of the recent findings on th

e levels of MG found in freshwater fish available locally, exposure to such levels of MG is unlikely to cause significant adverse health consequences to the consumers.

6. 不過，根據最近檢測本地出售的淡水魚所含孔雀石綠的結果，攝取該些份量的孔雀石綠，不大可能對人體健康造成嚴重影響。

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響 It has been estimated, using international stan

dard risk assessment methods inferred to humans based on results of animal studies, that significant adverse health effects due to MG are not expected even when a person consumes up to 290 kg of freshwater fish each day.

如採用國際標準的風險評估方法，根據動物試驗所得結果推斷到人類來計算，即使人類每天進食多達 290公斤淡水魚，估計所攝取的孔雀石綠仍不會嚴重影響健康。

Public Health Significance / 對人體健康的影響 For eels, which were found to contain relativel

y higher levels of MG, significant adverse health effects due to MG are not expected when a person consumes up to 7 kg of eels a day.

至於孔雀石綠含量較高的鰻魚，就算人類每天進食多達 7 公斤，估計所攝取的孔雀石綠亦不會嚴重影響健康。

Regulation / 規管 1. Codex has not established food safety stand

ards for MG in food. 1. 食品法典委員會沒有就在食物中使用孔雀石綠制訂食物安全標準。

動筆！ 2. The US, the EU (including the UK), Canada, J

apan, Thailand, Singapore and the Mainland do not permit the use of MG as a veterinary drug on food animals, aquaculture or fish for human consumption.

Regulation / 規管 3. In Hong Kong, MG has been included in the Harmful S

ubstances in Food Regulations to prohibit the presence of MG in all food sold in Hong Kong. This legislative amendment makes it an offence to import or sell for human consumption any food containing MG. Offenders will be prosecuted and upon conviction will be liable to a fine of $50,000 and to imprisonment for 6 months.

3. 香港已把孔雀石綠列入《食物內有害物質規例》的監管範圍，禁止所有在香港出售的食物含有孔雀石綠。這項修訂法例列明，任何人如輸入或售賣供人食用的食物含有孔雀石綠，即屬犯罪。違例者會被檢控，一經定罪，可處罰款 5萬元及監禁 6個月。

Advice to the Trade / 給業界的建議 1. Do not use MG on food fish from culture to retail levels. Operate all food fish-related businesses under good agriculture practices*.

1. 在養殖或零售食用魚時，切勿使用孔雀石綠。經營與食用魚有關的所有行業，必須奉行優良務農規範。

2. Buy fish from reputable suppliers or importers. Avoid buying fish from dubious sources. In case of doubt, ask for and check documents and certificates accompanying the consignment to ensure the supply is MG free.

2. 向信譽良好的供應商或進口商購買魚類，避免買入來歷不明的魚類。如有疑問，應要求查閱付運文件和證明書，以確保來貨不含孔雀石綠。

Advice to Consumers / 給消費者的建議 1. In the light of the available scientific information an

d levels of MG detected in freshwater fish and eels recently, risk of significant adverse health effects of MG due to consumption of freshwater fish or eels is considered remote.

1. 根據現有的科學資料，以及近日從淡水魚及鰻魚驗出的孔雀石綠含量，人類因進食含有孔雀石綠的淡水魚或鰻魚，以致健康嚴重受損的機會甚微。

2. Buy food fish from reputable sources. Do not patronise illegal hawkers selling food fish and their products.

2. 向信譽良好的店鋪∕攤檔購買食用魚。不要光顧售賣食用魚及魚類製品的無牌小販。

Advice to Consumers / 給消費者的建議 3. Maintain a balanced diet with a variety of fo

od. 3. 保持飲食均衡，進食多樣不同種類的食物。
