According to Health Zhejiang News
Recently, Ms. Wu from Hangzhou
Arrived at the Dermatology Department of Hangzhou First People's Hospital
However, the scene before us
The doctor was also startled
Her whole body is covered in hemorrhagic rashes
The color is even more red and purple
My whole face is red and swollen
The color is exactly the same as that of pitaya
Ms. Wu's Memories
About a week ago, she suddenly had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius
I've been burning for four days without getting back
At first, there was a small rash on the body
Gradually, the rash spread to the whole body and face
A large area that looks red and purple
Hangzhou First People's Hospital
Dr. Zhong Jianbo from the dermatology department said
Having been a doctor for so many years,
The patient's face turned red and swollen like this,
It's still relatively rare. "
What exactly caused it?
After a comprehensive physical examination and careful observation
He roughly judged based on experience
This situation is very likely to be caused by
Suffered from tsutsugamushi disease
It should be caused by being bitten by a scrub bug
Tsutsugami generally breed in
Low lying, humid, and overgrown areas
More rural and outdoor areas
But Ms. Wu, who lives in the city
How did you actually come into contact with tsutsugamushi?
Dr. Zhong Jianbo continues to inquire
"Do you have any mice at home?"
Ms. Wu said, "We have a hamster at home.",
It was bought for 20 yuan on the roadside before
Upon hearing Ms. Wu's words
Combined with her systemic symptoms
The doctor is basically certain that she has contracted tsutsugamushi disease
The culprit is very likely
This is the hamster bought for 20 yuan
After being bitten by chigger mites
There will be scabs left on the body
Sure enough, after careful examination
The doctor found a scab on her body
Confirmed previous speculation
What is tsutsugamushi disease?
Chigger mites, also known as sand lice, can transmit tsutsugamushi disease
When a chigger bites a person, it secretes an enzyme that numbs the person
The incubation period of tsutsugamushi disease is 4-21 days
The initial symptom is high fever
Apart from red eyes, there may be skin redness and swelling
Limb paralysis, nausea and drowsiness, etc
In severe cases, multiple organ failure can lead to death
It often inhabits rodents
After the chigger larvae bit the mice
Will parasitize on mice
But because the mice were infected with rickettsia
So it's not a big threat to mice
Once chigger mites bite mice
After the larvae develop, their offspring then bite humans
Could potentially lead to human infection and illness
Doctor's special reminder
To purchase hamsters, go to a place with a legitimate source
From June to October every year
It is the season of high incidence of tsutsugamushi disease
Remember these insect prevention reminders
For outdoor production labor and work activities, the sleeves, cuffs, and cuffs of pants should be tightly tied, and it is best not to linger in the grass.
The exposed parts of the body can be coated with mosquito repellents, potassium sulfide solutions, etc.
If there is discomfort such as fever, skin rash, or even skin scabs after field work, timely medical attention should be sought.
Except for scrub typhus
These insects also need to be careful in summer!
