フランスで昨年末に新型コロナ患者 医師らが検出

（ＣＮＮ） 仏パリの病院が昨年末に採取していた入院患者の検体から、新型コロナウイルスが新たに検出された。同国で最初の感染例が報告される数週間も前から、新型ウイルスが存在していたことになる。
パリ北郊のセーヌサンドニ県にある病院の集中治療専門医らが３日、抗菌薬の専門誌ＩＪＡＡに発表した。
同病院のチームは昨年１２月２日から今年１月１６日までの間にインフルエンザのような症状で入院し、最終的にインフルとは診断されなかった患者らについて、凍結保存されていた検体を調べた。
その結果、アルジェリア生まれの男性（４２）から採取していた検体で新型ウイルス陽性の反応が出た。
男性は長年フランスに住み、魚売りの仕事をしてきた。外国旅行は昨年８月にアルジェリアを訪れたのが最後で、中国に行ったこともなかった。男性の子どものうち１人も体調を崩していたという。
チームは、この患者に中国とのつながりや渡航歴がないことから、１２月末の時点でフランス国内に感染が広がっていたことがうかがえると指摘する。
同国の公式発表としては１月２４日、中国・武漢市への渡航歴がある２人の感染が報告されたのが初めてだった。
欧州で最大の被害が出たイタリアでも、１月３１日にローマで中国人観光客２人の感染が確認されたのが初の症例とされる。国内での感染例は２月末になって北部コドーニョで報告された。
新型ウイルス感染が最初に確認されるより前から感染者や死者が出ていたかどうかについては、米国でも同様の研究が始まっている。

(CNN) A new type of coronavirus was newly detected in the
samples of inpatients collected by a hospital in Paris of France at the end of
last year. The new virus had existed weeks before the first case was reported
in the country.
Intensive care specialists from a hospital in the
Seine-Saint-Denis in the northern suburbs of Paris announced this on the 3rd in
IJAA, a magazine specialized in antibacterial drugs.
The team at the hospital had cryopreserved specimens of
patients who were hospitalized with influenza-like symptoms between December
2nd and January 16th of this year and were finally not diagnosed
with flu. Their frozen specimens were examined.
As a result, a positive reaction to the new virus was found in a
sample collected from a male (42) born in Algeria.
The man had lived in France for many years and worked as a
fish seller. His last visited was to Algeria last August, and had never been to
China. It was said that a child of the man was also sick.
The team pointed out that the patient had no connection to
China or travel history, suggesting that the infection had spread to France by the
end of December.
The first official announcement by this country was on
January 24th, two people who had traveled to Wuhan of China were reported
infected.
Even in Italy, which suffered the most damage in Europe, the
first case was confirmed when two Chinese tourists were infected in Rome on
January 31st. The case of domestic infection was reported in northern Codogno
at the end of February.
Similar studies had begun in the United States on whether
infection or dead had happened before the first confirmation of the new virus
infection.
I am
interested in knowing the infection path of Covid-19 from China to Europe and
the US. It could become a very sensitive political issue in the future.
