A few days ago, a man in Qingyuan, Guangdong Province, suddenly had symptoms of repeated fever and dizziness, and after nearly 10 days of symptoms, he also became delirious and comatose, and was urgently sent to the ICU of Qingyuan People's Hospital for rescue. What caused the man to be in critical condition was the same food in the refrigerator that we commonly used. What exactly is the food? Come and watch.
According to the doctors of the second district of the ICU of Qingyuan People's Hospital, recently, they received a 27-year-old man Xiaoming (pseudonym) transferred from Lianshan Hospital, and the patient appeared with symptoms such as persistent high fever, confusion and confusion when he arrived. Doctors then performed various tests on the man and finally determined listeria infection.
According to the doctor, Xiaoming (pseudonym) had already developed meningitis and sepsis when he was admitted to the hospital, and he also had hydrocephalus in the follow-up. The main reason why his condition is so serious is because of his poor physical resistance and drinking expired yogurt containing listeria. Listeria is a facultative anaerobic bacterium that is widely present in nature. It can be transmitted by food through the mouth, then through the gastrointestinal mucosa to the lymph nodes, and then into the blood, causing infection of different organs, or through the blood into the central system, causing Listeria meningitis, which can be life-threatening.
Listeria is highly viable and resistant to cold, salt, acid and alkali. This bacterium can be found in most foods, and foods such as dairy products, vegetable salads, ice cream, and beef have a higher amount of bacteria. Doctors recommend eating thoroughly cooked foods, expired foods, even if stored in the refrigerator.
