Recently, Zhongshan, Guangdong
17-year-old girl Xiaoqing (pseudonym)
I didn't expect anything,
Tossed her for months with abdominal pain and diarrhea
It's actually a small bug with a dense belly...
Two months ago, Xiaoqing had no obvious cause of bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sticky stools, 5 to 6 times a day, and always felt tired and weak. The local hospital considered that Xiaoqing suffered from gastroenteritis, and after anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal treatment, there was no effect, and the symptoms worsened and became more and more emaciated.
Xiaoqing was later transferred to another hospital for treatment, and the blood test for leukocytes was increased, anemia, and the hospital continued to strengthen anti-inflammatory, electrolyte supplementation, and conditioning of dysbacteriosis, and did not improve.
Therefore, in early July, Xiao Qing came to the Department of Nephrology of Bo'ai Hospital in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, due to dizziness, fatigue and swelling.
After Xiaoqing was admitted to the hospital, some of the test results came out, and what particularly attracted the doctor's attention was: hemoglobin 57g/L, white blood cells 27.2x109/L, and eosinophil absolute values of 11.0x109/L (normal <0.42x109/L).
Examination results suggest severe anemia and eosinophilia.
The doctor also did allergen tests, immune tests, stool eggs and other tests on Xiaoqing, and the results were negative, and finally a gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed.
The attending physician Yin Quan was shocked when he saw it, and the intestinal cavity was covered with small insects that were alive and squirming, and the real "culprit" came out of the water.
After deworming, acid cells reduction, correction of anemia and other treatments, Xiaoqing's symptoms have been eliminated and he has returned to school.
Where did the "worm disease" in her intestines come from?
Xiaoqing lasted for more than two months of abdominal pain and diarrhea, went to many hospitals, multiple departments for diagnosis is unknown, and finally solved the mystery of abdominal pain - parasitic infection - in the department of hematology and rheumatology.
So, where does her "insect disease" come from?
After carefully asking Xiaoqing's personal life history, it turned out that Xiaoqing liked to go to the restaurant with friends and classmates to eat sushi raw fish and sashimi. Xiaoqing's father told the doctor that whenever she gathered at her home or relatives' house during the New Year's Festival, she would always put the most tender fish, meat, and vegetables into the ingredients and mix them together and eat them raw.
Doctors analyze that the worms in the small green intestine are likely to be seriously infected with the parasite due to long-term consumption of raw food. However, the infection of parasites will also vary from person to person, for some people with more gastric acid secretion, a small amount of parasites can be destroyed by gastric acid after entering the human body, which is not harmful to the human body.
But for most people, after eating fish or pork infected by insects, the eggs will enter the intestine, and after the intestines develop into worms, some of the eggs will develop into larvae, and then enter the intestinal wall, followed by blood, lymph, muscles, and "settle down" in various parts of the body.
How can I prevent parasitic infections?
According to doctors, parasitic infections are the most common cause of eosinophilia.
Prevention of parasitic diseases should be done -
(1) Pay attention to personal hygiene, cut nails frequently, and insist on washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
(2) Prevent "insects from entering through the mouth". Do not drink raw water, do not eat raw or undercooked fish, meat, shrimp, crabs, raw fruits, vegetables should be washed.
(3) Avoid contact between the skin of the hands and feet and the moist soil and crops where hookworm filamentous larvae lurk.
(4) Avoid contact with infected water in the epidemic area.
Xiaobian reminds everyone,
For the sake of health, it is better not to be greedy.
