6月2日（路透社）——美国疾病控制与预防中心周二表示，许多美国人在国内或境外进行美容手术后出现了严重并发症，包括细菌感染，部分病例甚至死亡。
该机构援引发表在其《新兴传染病》期刊上的一项研究称，该研究回顾了2014年至2024年间超过2100起美国居民赴境外接受美容手术的报告，涉及吸脂术和隆胸手术等项目。

研究确认了21起涉及约145名患者的不良事件报告，包括感染，这些事件与国内外的手术中心和诊所均有关联。
“越来越多的人在美国境外接受医疗服务，但这其中存在风险，”疾控中心护士流行病学家、该研究的主要作者基拉·麦克纳马拉说道。
根据疾控中心官网信息，美国居民通常会前往墨西哥、加拿大，以及中美洲、南美洲和加勒比国家开展医疗旅游。
研究显示，20起报告中出现了术后感染，其中12起为疑似或确诊的细菌感染病例。
该机构称，其中4起报告涉及患者死亡，并补充说，一起国内调查和一起国际调查发现，环境清洁、个人防护装备使用、手部卫生以及手术器械再处理环节均存在严重疏漏。
该机构呼吁加强监测、推动医疗服务提供者与公共卫生机构之间的更紧密协作，并加强对患者的前置教育，以便及早发现并发症并助力预防。
美国人通常因更低的费用、熟悉本土文化的医护人员，或是美国境内无法获取或未获批的手术项目而选择境外就医。居民赴境外寻求的常见医疗服务包括牙科护理、整容手术、生育治疗、器官移植和癌症治疗。

June 2 (Reuters) – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday that many Americans suffered serious complications — including bacterial infections and, in some cases, death — after traveling within the country and abroad for cosmetic procedures.
The agency cited a study published in its Emerging Infectious Diseases journal, which reviewed more than 2,100 reports from 2014 to 2024 of U.S. residents who traveled for cosmetic procedures, including liposuction and breast augmentation.

The study identified 21 reports involving about 145 patients who experienced adverse outcomes, including infections, associated with both domestic and international surgery centers and clinics.
“More and more people are getting medical procedures outside the United States, but there are risks,” said Kiara McNamara, a CDC nurse epidemiologist and the lead author of the study.
U.S. residents often travel to Mexico and Canada, as well as countries in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean for medical tourism, according to the CDC’s website.
Postsurgical infections were found in 20 reports, the study showed, including 12 suspected or confirmed cases of bacterial infections.
Four of the reports involved patient deaths, the agency said, adding that one domestic and one international investigation found significant lapses in environmental cleaning, personal protective equipment use, hand hygiene, and surgical equipment reprocessing.
The agency urged stronger surveillance, closer collaboration between healthcare providers and public health agencies, and more proactive patient education to spot complications early and help prevent them.
People commonly seek medical care abroad owing to lower costs, culturally familiar providers, or procedures unavailable or unapproved in the United States. Common treatments for which residents travel include dental care, cosmetic surgery, fertility care, transplants, and cancer.
