The 52-year-old lawyer had a fever for more than half a month
Positive for antibodies to 3 parasites
"I've had an intermittent fever for more than half a month, and my stomach hurts faintly, I don't know what's going on!" Recently, Mr. Zhou, a 52-year-old man in Hangzhou, has often had a fever, and his body temperature has even soared to 39 °C.
The strange thing is that ordinary people will be weak when they have a fever, but Mr. Zhou is not tired except for the whole body fever and stomach discomfort, and he has taken antipyretics and antibiotics, but the effect is not obvious. After more than 20 days, Mr. Zhou finally became calm and came to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine for treatment.
On preliminary examination, he had two obvious abnormalities: an abnormal eosinophil increase that was dozens of times that of a normal person, and obvious abnormal liver function. Imaging tests showed that there were many small abscesses on his liver that looked like they were infected and suppurated.
Because eosinophils have the function of killing bacteria and parasites, if the number of such cells in the human body increases dramatically, it means that they are working frantically to fight against bacteria or parasites.
Sure enough, the doctor inquired about the situation and learned that Mr. Zhou was a lawyer who traveled all over the country on business all year round and liked to taste food. I especially like to eat raw pickled, refreshing sashimi, drunk shrimp and crab, and blood cockle mud snails...... Basically, I have to eat three or four times a week, and I don't refuse to come to bullfrog hot pot and snake gall wine.
After further examination, as expected, the test report showed that Mr. Zhou's hydatid IgG antibodies, cysticerci IgG antibodies, and Schizocephalic Mansoni IgG antibodies were all positive. In other words, he may have been infected with three parasites, hydatids, tapeworm solium and Schizocephalic mansoni at the same time.
After a course of insecticidal and anti-infective treatments, Mr. Zhou's condition was brought under control. He said that he would never touch raw meat or raw pickles again.
Doctor's Reminder:
The damage caused by the parasite is irreversible
There are many parasites in both seafood and freshwater fish, shrimp, crab and snails, including Clonorchis sinensis (liver fluke), fasciola ginger, lung fluke, Anisakis elegans, echinojaw nematode, etc.
"Steps such as wine pickling, vinegar soaking, and salting can only kill relatively weak parasites and bacteria at most, not completely. The doctor said that if the eosinophil index is significantly exceeded, and you have eaten raw foods such as sashimi, you should be alert to the possibility of parasitic infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to identify the infected insects, treat the symptoms and treat them as soon as possible so as not to delay the disease.
In this case, the above three parasites infected by Mr. Zhou can parasitize a variety of tissues and organs of the human body, such as the brain, spinal cord, gastrointestinal tract, abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissues, etc., resulting in corresponding symptoms, and in severe cases, irreversible sequelae and permanent damage.
Experts especially remind that for the sake of health, everyone should still follow the eating habits of eating cooked food in daily life and try to avoid eating raw food.
