rushed to the hot search and attracted widespread attention
Here's the thing
Ms. Wang (pseudonym) living in Hangzhou
I didn't expect that
I just cleaned up at home
I was actually admitted to the hospital
When I checked the lungs, it turned out to be "moldy".
Repeated high fever, hard resistance for 3 days
"Little tree buds" grow out of the lungs
A week ago, Ms. Wang developed a cough, fatigue and fever.
At first, she thought it was a common cold, and she just needed to take some fever medicine at home, but she didn't expect that after three days, she still had a recurrent high fever, reaching a maximum of 40 °C.
The friend saw that it was not good and rushed her to the hospital. Zhou Xiang, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases (Hepatology) of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University, found from the CT scan of her lungs that Ms. Wang's lungs had grown "small tree buds", which was suspected to be fungal pneumonia.
Why does mold grow in the lungs?
She remembered a detail
A month ago, Ms. Wang noticed that there was mildew in the wardrobe at home, so she cleaned the moldy parts but did not do a good job of protection.
After the cleaning, she developed paroxysmal cough, but the degree was relatively mild, so it was not taken seriously.
In order to further confirm the condition, Zhou Xiang performed a flexible bronchoscopy for Ms. Wang, and sure enough, he found a large number of white plaques on the airway wall, which was confirmed to be Aspergillus after laboratory tests.
Zhou Xiang judged that it was very likely that various molds were mixed into the dust. Ms. Wang usually likes to open the windows day and night for ventilation, and it is the warm weather in the south in May, when the weather is constantly rainy, and the humid air is a natural condition conducive to the growth of mold. Mold can cause infections in the lungs, mouth, skin, and even the whole body.

How to protect yourself?
Zhou Xiang said that mold infections have a certain relationship with the environment.
Moldy growth can easily grow in the corners of the home, window sills, kitchen sinks, stoves, kitchen utensils, refrigerators, toilets, bathrooms, washing machines, air conditioners, books and carpets that have not been used for a long time.
How to prevent mold infections
Everyone should do the following
▼▼▼
01.
Do a good job of cleaning your home
Dry the bedding regularly, clean it frequently, and clean up moldy items in time. It can be cleaned with disinfectant water, such as 3% hydrogen peroxide, soda, or 1:1 water and white vinegar, or it can be sun-dried for books, carpets, etc.
Wear a mask and gloves when cleaning to avoid aspiration.
02.
Pay attention to ventilation indoors
Mold prefers to grow in a humid environment, so pay attention to ventilation in your home or office, especially during the rainy season.
In the damp area, you can hang a bag of moisture absorption box or dehumidification bag, or you can use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep the indoor humidity between 40%-50%. At the same time, indoor green cultivation should be minimized to avoid mold growth in the soil.
03.
Don't hoard too much food
Once you find that the food is moldy, throw it away in time, and do not eat the food that is left overnight.
04.
Boost your own immunity
Get more physical activity, get enough sleep, stay optimistic, and supplement with high-quality protein.
