A crocodile almost killed the 60-year-old mother to eat raw seafood or meat prone to cause the disease
According to the Youth Times News, Jin Auntie, who lives in Tiantai County, Zhejiang, suddenly felt a bad appetite. Slowly, not only did his appetite worsen, but his skin became yellow. Until one day, Aunt Jin was found to be confused at home and the family immediately sent her to the local hospital. After examination, the doctor found that Aunt had suffered from fulminant hepatic failure caused by hepatitis E and sent it later was dangerous. Hepatitis E is passed through the digestive tract, so what did the patient have before eating? After the doctor asked “the bottom of the rootsâ€, it was found that the cause of the death of Jin Aunt was actually related to a octopus. Aunt Jin used to spend her days on the weekdays. She discovered that some of her family's octopus was a bit "bad" and not willing to throw it away. Eventually it would be eaten. It did not take long for the disease to develop.
Eat unfamiliar seafood, meat susceptible to hepatitis E
Hepatitis E is a digestive tract infection, with obvious seasonal features, and is mostly in summer and autumn. Most of the hepatitis E are "eating out", and quite a few of them have experienced seafood and meat before they become ill. It is generally believed that shellfish are most likely to cause hepatitis E in unfamiliar seafood. This is because the gills of this type of seafood absorb water and filter it in the body. In addition, the drinking of dirty raw water, seafood, cooked food and other mixed activities will also cause the spread of the virus.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis E?
After the infection of hepatitis E, the incubation period is generally 10 to 60 days. Symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia (a loss of appetite), nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, and liver appear in the near-term and persist for several days but are not explained by other causes. Area pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms, prone to jaundice, manifested as yellowing of the mucous membranes and skin tissue, urine was dark brown, severe patients with severe fatigue, vomiting, unclear consciousness. Some patients may have mild liver swelling, tenderness and percussion pain, urine gradually deepened. Physical examination showed hepatomegaly with tenderness, hepatic percussion pain, and yellow sclera. Generally longer than the hepatitis A disease, the condition is heavier.
After infection with hepatitis E, severe illness can develop severe hepatitis and eventually lead to hepatic coma. Pregnant women are also among the most vulnerable to hepatitis E and they are prone to hepatic failure after infection. In addition, patients with leukemia and heart disease are also prone to death if they become infected with hepatitis E.
Hepatitis E spread
Hepatitis E is an acute viral hepatitis, which is characterized by infectivity, severe illness, and high mortality. Hepatitis E is a zoonotic disease, and it is a social disease of great harm. So, what are the routes of transmission of hepatitis E?
1, fecal-oral transmission is the main route of transmission of hepatitis E, and the forms of transmission presented are diverse. For example:
(1) Water transmission: Contaminated water sources with feces of the hepatitis E virus can cause the outbreak or epidemic of hepatitis E. In the event of disasters such as floods and mudslides, drinking water is extremely vulnerable to fecal contamination.
(2) Food contamination: foods contaminated by the hepatitis E virus, especially animal tissues and internal organs that are improperly cooked;
(3) Source of animal infection: Hepatitis E is a zoonosis. According to reports in the literature, pigs may be the main source of animal infection. Pigs spread hepatitis E virus through direct contact with humans, pig manure contaminating water, and human consumption of improperly cooked pork.
2, mother-to-child transmission: hepatitis E virus can be transmitted to the fetus through the mother and child. In developing countries, the prevalence of hepatitis E virus in pregnant women varies from one pregnancy period to the next, with the highest in the second and third trimester of pregnancy being 20.0% and 45%, respectively. The mortality rate of severe hepatitis in each pregnancy is 15.0-25.0%, which is much higher than that caused by other hepatitis viruses. Pregnant women often suffer from miscarriage and intrauterine stillbirth after infection with hepatitis E.
3. Blood transmission: Since 1999, India, Japan, Bolivia, Cuba, China, and Hong Kong have detected anti-HEVlgM and/or HEV RNA in blood samples from domestic blood donors. In some areas of China, blood donors were tested for anti-HEVIgM and found that the recent infection rate of hepatitis E virus was about 0.9%, suggesting that there is also the risk of menstrual transmission of hepatitis E in China.
After understanding the route of hepatitis E transmission, it is necessary to actively carry out prevention work. Usually, we must pay attention to personal diet hygiene, and pay attention to adopt appropriate protective measures. Vaccination with hepatitis E vaccine is the best form of active immunity.
Raw seafood is a high-risk behavior should pay attention to prevention
Nowadays, office workers in urban areas tend to seek new directions for food. The popular meat, fish, or seafood nowadays will give rise to viruses. Rural environmental hygiene, drinking water hygiene and poor hygiene practices are relatively poor, so farmers are also prone to infection.
There is currently no effective vaccine for hepatitis E, but as long as you usually wash your hands before and after meals, do not drink raw water, do not eat foods that are spoiled, and do not eat cold and dirty foods, hepatitis E can be prevented. Seafood can not be greedy and tender, but must be cooked; shellfish did not "open mouth" can not eat; pickled mustard dishes have to be washed, can not be picked off that it is the most fresh and reluctant to wash; the elderly, children and pregnant women should pay attention.
