Slaughtered free-range native chickens,
There was multi-organ failure, and the condition was extremely critical!
Recently, Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine admitted two cases
Severe cases of infection with Chlamydia psittaci due to exposure to poultry.
Remind everyone that in daily life,
We must be cautious when we come into contact with poultry.
Mr. Chen is 50 years old and lives in Lishui District, Nanjing. Some time ago, relatives living in the countryside sent a free-range chicken to Mr. Chen out of kindness, And Mr. Chen's family saw that the chicken's spirit was a little weak, and thought it might be a sick chicken, and persuaded Mr. Chen to throw away the chicken. But Mr. Chen did not want to throw it away, and slaughtered the chicken and cooked it.
The next day after eating, Mr. Chen developed symptoms of high fever, muscle soreness, chest tightness and irritability. Accompanied by his family, he went to the local hospital in Lishui District for treatment, but after nearly a week of treatment, Mr. Chen's symptoms not only did not improve, but worsened.
Later, Mr. Chen, accompanied by his family, went to the outpatient clinic of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment, and the outpatient examination results showed high blood picture, lung infection in the lower left lung, considering community-acquired pneumonia, and was admitted to the emergency department ward for treatment. After admission, Mr. Chen's condition continued to deteriorate, with persistent high fever, respiratory failure, acute renal failure, circulatory instability, progressive increase in blood picture, and his condition was extremely critical.
The respiratory and critical care medicine doctor of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine introduced: "Mr. Chen soon had the failure of various organ functions, and also did endotracheal intubation and did kidney replacement next to the bed. ”
At the same time, Ms. Wang, a citizen of Nanjing, also went to the hospital for treatment due to persistent high fever, and soon had severe liver dysfunction and rhabdomyolysis. The doctor inquired and found that Ms. Wang also had a history of exposure to poultry.
According to the doctor, Ms. Wang was a symptom of a cold in the early stage, and the routine treatment did not have any effect for a week. "Carefully asked about the past situation, they are doing brine business, usually do not kill live poultry, but raw poultry to be cleaned, but also Ms. Wang she cooked her own vegetables, we suspect that there is a certain correlation with this."
After pathogenic examination, Mr. Chen and Ms. Wang were diagnosed with psittacosis.
Doctors said that Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci infection, mainly occurring in birds or birds such as parrots, seagulls, ducks, turkeys, etc. Humans are mainly infected by inhaling air containing pathogens, dust or close contact with sick animals.
After symptomatic treatment, two patients are currently in stable condition. Doctors remind that we should try to avoid contact with live poultry, and do not purchase, cook, or eat poultry of unknown origin or sick and dead poultry. When cooking poultry, wear a mask, gloves, and wash your hands with soap and water when exposed.
The doctor said: "First of all, everyone should pay attention to protection; second, it is very important to enhance immunity and resistance in ordinary times, because when everyone is in contact with each other, it is also a small number of people who get sick, when their resistance declines." ”
