フランスで新たに2人の狂牛病患者が確認されたと統一教会系新聞UPIが報じている。
フランス政府の声明によると2人の狂牛病患者(正式名称はクロイツフェルトジェイコブ病vCJD)が献血者であるとは知られていなかったと声明で述べた。
vCJDは献血用血液や狂牛病原体で汚染された牛肉製品の消費により感染すると言われている。
これでフランス国内で報告された狂牛病感染者11人のうち8人が死亡しており、未だvCJDに対しての治療法は確立されていない。

France Has Two More
Human Mad Cow Cases

PARIS (UPI) -- Two new cases of human mad cow disease were detected in France, raising the total number of cases in that country to 11, health officials said.
The country's Institut de Veille Sanitaire said in a statement the two patients were not known to be blood donors. Human mad cow disease, known formally as variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, or vCJD, can be transmitted via the blood. Humans can contract the incurable, fatal disease by consuming beef products infected with the mad cow pathogen.
The agency did not offer further details about the status or identity of the two new vCJD cases. Of the 11 cases reported in France, eight of the patients have died and three are still alive.
More than 160 instances of vCJD have been identified around the world, with the bulk -- 154 cases -- occurring in the United Kingdom, where there a massive outbreak of mad cow disease began in the 1980s.
A recent report in the journal Veterinary Research estimated more than 300,000 cows infected with mad cow disease went undetected in France between 1980 to 2000.
