rast indeksi - pacienti zero


Definition from own experience or research:
Rasti i parë i dokumentuar i një sëmundje infektive në një kontekst të veçantë.

Example sentence(s):
  • Autoritetet kineze dhe ekspertët kanë kundërshti në lidhje me origjinën e shpërthimit të koronavirusit. Më konkretisht, për atë se kush është ‘pacienti zero’ i kësaj epidemie. I njohur edhe si rast indeksi, pacienti zero është një term që përdoret për të përshkruar njeriun e parë të infektuar nga një sëmundje virale ose bakteriale në një epidemi - https://gazetamapo.al/historia-e-termit-  
  • Edhe këto ditë, qeveria dhe mediat vazhdojnë të përmendin termin ‘pacienti zero’, duke iu referuar kështu personit të parë të konfirmuar me koronavirus në Shqipëri. Në asnjë vend tjetër nuk përdoret më ky term. Në Itali flitet për ‘pacientin një’, por sërish me rezerva. Në kohën kur ka kaq shumë vatra koronavirusi, të flasësh për ‘pacientin zero’ në Shqipëri nuk bën sens. Edhe në Kinë, aty ku lindi sëmundja, nuk ka akoma një pacient zero. Por cila është historia e këtij termi? - https://gazetamapo.al/historia-e-termit-
