Fuzhou News Network, June 27 (Fuzhou Evening News reporter Chen Dan, correspondent Zhang Wenming, Lin Juan, Zhang Huijian) Three years ago, mr. Lu, a truck driver, sought medical treatment for repeated seizures, but fortunately recovered after neurosurgery treatment at the 900th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force. Three years later, Mr. Lu's daughter also developed epileptic symptoms inexplicably. What causes a father-daughter seizure?
Both father and daughter suffer from epilepsy
It has to do with diet
"When I fainted, I was lucky not driving!" Recalling a seizure, Mr. Lu was still terrified, saying that the person suddenly convulsed violently all over his body, and then knew nothing until he was woken up by a nearby security guard an hour later.
Later, when he lost consciousness again while working in Fuqing, his co-workers took him to the local hospital and then to the Neurosurgery Department of the 9000 Hospital.
At that time, Yang Pengfan, deputy director of the Department of Neurosurgery, was treated. The examination found that Mr. Lu had three lesions in his right temporal lobe, like nodules and granulomas, which was speculated to be the cause of his repeated seizures. After multidisciplinary consultation, there is a high suspicion that the parasite has formed granulomas after entering the brain.
Sure enough, after 3 hours of minimally invasive surgery, the surgical team removed three small hard lumps with a diameter of seven or eight millimeters from Mr. Lu's brain. Pathological tests have confirmed that the body of cyst worm forms granulomas in the brain.
What Mr. Lu did not expect was that his fainting experience was repeated in his 26-year-old daughter this year. A while ago, after his daughter had a convulsion and fainting, he hurriedly sent her to the Neurosurgery Department of the 9000 Hospital.
After inquiring about the medical history, Yang Pengfan immediately made a detailed examination for Mr. Lu's daughter and found that there were parasites in her brain like her father's. After surgery, the cysts are removed. Recently, Mr. Lu's daughter has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
So why are both father and daughter infected with parasites?
After asking about life and eating habits, the doctor found the reason. It turned out that Mr. Lu's family usually loved to eat snake meat, field chicken, drunken shrimp, sashimi, etc., and they were grilled and eaten by themselves, which may not be cooked. After this suffering, the other members of Mr. Lu's family underwent medical examinations. Fortunately, no cysts were found in the brains of others.
Prevents the entry of eggs into the body
Pay attention to these points
Yang Pengfan introduced that fresh food containing cysts, after being eaten uncooked, will hatch into adult worms in the intestine, and then excrete eggs. After the eggs are excreted with the stool, if the public does not pay attention to washing their hands when eating, the eggs will enter the digestive tract through the "hand-mouth" route. After the eggs hatch, they enter the blood circulation and spread throughout the body!
How to prevent the entry of eggs into the body? Experts recommend a few points of attention:
1. Wash your hands before meals;
2. Food and water should be cooked, and fish and shrimp should be eaten raw as much as possible;
3. The field chicken contains Taenia mansonii, which is not easy to kill by cooking;
4. Wild game often contains a large number of parasites, which cannot be eaten raw;
5. Raw food and cooked food should be cut separately, it is best to prepare two kitchen knives and two cutting boards.
