Taiwanese woman killed by shrimp stab concern experts say outback rare

During the national day, a microblog called "Taiwanese woman was stabbed to the calf by a live shrimp and was killed by bacteria" was a crazy biography on the Internet. Micro Bo said that a Taiwanese housewife to buy live shrimp to reward their families, did not want to be alive and kicking shrimp stabbed right calf, unexpectedly infected with the Vibrio, amputation operation still can not prevent hemorrhagic shock, and finally died. Is it fatal to be stabbed by a shrimp? Many of the friends who love to eat seafood uneasy, but also netizens questioned "too exaggerated." To find out, the reporter interviewed the experts. Is there really such a terrible bacterial infection in the coastal cities that are infected? Guangzhou Military District, Wuhan General Hospital emergency department deputy chief physician Chengqing after hearing the reporter's description is not surprising, he said, Taiwan women's case, although extreme, but it does exist, the real killer is the existence of a bacterium in the shrimp, medically known as "marine origin of the wound Vibrio." The Marine "Invisible Killer", known as the Marine, is ubiquitous in the sea, as long as the Sea of life, will carry, sea shrimp is not the only source of infection, swimming crab, crab, shellfish, marine fish, etc. have caused the infection incident. The inland provinces of the crab, river shrimp generally do not exist, so I rarely see such patients to the province. There are two main approaches to the infection of Vibrio cholerae: one is through the digestive tract, such as shellfish and sashimi, the other is direct skin infection, such as the contact with seafood when the wound, the bacterium Vibrio will invade the human body, but people do not infect each other. Red wounds need to attach great importance to the National Day holiday, many people choose to go to the coastal city to play, their own hands fishing crabs, some people also like to catch seafood on the side of the seaside barbecue. In this way, there are more and more people who contact seafood and eat seafood. Have the reader consultation, whether contact seafood will "recruit"? Chengqing explained, in general, most people will not be infected, even if the infection is very mild, but if there is low immunity or basic disease, it is likely to occur. "The key to see whether there is redness and swelling, if the scratches where redness, it is best to go to the hospital immediately." "It's easy to kill the bacterium, one is because of rapid development, infected within a few hours skin will appear festering, two days of tissue necrosis, then the patient will have renal failure, such as a series of complications, and eventually died; second, many people do not understand this, feel just small wound but not attention. Therefore, people who play at the seaside should be vigilant. "Invisible Killer" is afraid of heat. There are reports that the highest mortality rate is caused by Vibrio cholerae in all food-borne diseases in the United States. In recent years, the United States, South Korea, Japan and the coastal countries because of raw oysters caused by primary sepsis, the death rate of up to 70%, and the rapid death of the bacterium, infected more than 1-2 days died. "The Vibrio is afraid of high temperature, so seafood must be cooked and not eaten raw." "Chengqing reminds, the following high-risk groups in contact with seafood especially beware: alcoholic cirrhosis, liver disease, alcoholism, hereditary blood (iron) composure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thalassemia, chronic renal failure, lymphoma and so on.
