在世界上最致命的疾病的患者护理，研究和教育的最前沿.
约翰霍普金斯大学特殊病原体中心致力于准备, 监测和治疗高致命性感染和来源不明的疾病. 我们的中心汇集了约翰霍普金斯医学三个不同领域的专业知识-临床护理, research and education — to respond to special pathogens.
Areas of Expertise
Clinical Care
The Johns Hopkins Biocontainment Unit (BCU)是13个联邦资助的区域新兴特殊病原体治疗中心之一. It is one of the premier high-level isolation units in the world, 随时准备照顾感染特殊病原体的推荐十大正规网赌平台. BCU照顾正在接受埃博拉和马尔堡等病毒性出血热调查的人, and it played a critical role in the local, regional and national response to COVID-19.

Research
特殊病原体中心开展研究，以推进生物控制护理科学，包括建筑环境方面的工作, personal protective equipment (PPE), clinical protocols, staff safety, waste management and clinical countermeasures. The center is also the home of the Johns Hopkins Precision Medicine Center of Excellence for COVID-19. The COVID-19 PMCOE is dedicated to understanding the pathobiology, clinical manifestations and treatment of COVID-19. The center demonstrated the real-world benefits of COVID treatments, 开发了世界各地临床医生使用的实时预测模型, 并表明脉搏血氧仪低估了代表性不足的少数民族的低氧血症. The center continues to conduct cutting-edge research on COVID-19, and will apply lessons learned to other infectious disease threats.

Education
The center is dedicated to educating healthcare providers, 卫生系统和社区如何安全有效地应对特殊病原体事件. One of the highlights of the center’s education work is the Special Pathogens Training and Education Program (STEP). STEP是世界上最大和最成功的特殊病原体培训项目之一. 成立于2018年，旨在帮助一线医院为病毒性出血热患者做好准备, STEP在美国对500名一线卫生保健工作者和领导人进行了30多次现场培训.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Region 3. STEP was instrumental in helping Region 3 hospitals respond to COVID-19, 它仍然是区域传染病教育和防范的重要资源.
