Warning: the prevention and control of scrub typhus
Yesterday afternoon, the City Center for Disease Control issued through the newspaper, "tsutsugamushi disease prevention and control" of the early warning.
First, what is scrub typhus?
Scrub typhus, also known as scrub typhus, is caused by the Rickettsia tsutsugamushi natural foci of disease. Rickettsia sojourn in chigger mites, and by egg passage. Chigger mite larvae need to learn from people or animals from the lymph or blood to complete the development of insect larvae to the juvenile process.
Chigger mites live in the warm, moist, brush the edge of wilderness areas and lakes flat sides. People who might be infected chigger bites sick. The disease mostly distributed in the local pop occasionally.
Second, main symptom
Incubation period of 5 to 20 days, usually 10 to 14 days. The main clinical features of sudden onset, fever, bite with eschar or ulcer, swollen lymph nodes and rash. Each patient had severe delirium, listen to, altered mental status and neurological symptoms such as growth or slow heart rate, microcirculatory disorders and other symptoms of the cardiovascular system.
Third, how people infected with scrub typhus?
Of human infection with scrub typhus infection in rodents mainly through access to Rickettsia chigger bite of infected larvae. Rodents is the main source of infection of scrub typhus and storage of the host.
Fourth, the prevention of scrub typhus?
Since the breeding of rodents and tsutsugamushi, reproduction by climate and geographical factors, significant seasonal prevalence of scrub typhus and regional. 10,11 high season on the north, south, then a 6 ~ August for the popular peak in November decreased. At present, the disease is in epidemic seasons, to remind the public attention to prevention:
1, elimination of sources of infection, mainly rodent.
2, spraying, remove chigger mites breeding environment. Such as the eradication of weeds around the home, transforming the environment, eliminate chigger breeding ground is the most fundamental measures. Fieldwork in endemic areas, the first while spraying, weeding and then after the operation.
3, good personal protective measures. ① avoid lying or sitting on the grass in the stream to avoid weed shrub on dry clothes. ② outdoor activities in endemic areas, should be fastened cuffs, collar and trousers mouth, rubbed on exposed body parts of mosquito repellent.
Clear up doubts: diagnosis of scrub typhus needs 5 ~ 7 days
Miss Feng said, ICU doctors have pointed out that the wounds are Macabeo tsutsugamushi bite, and this situation is common in the rout. And let her understand is that since it is a universal phenomenon, why the patient in the hospital from the patients do not find out the cause?
Reporter also noted that the deceased Miss Fan Sanshui from July until after the onset in mid-September 2nd city into a hospital, although the Sanshui hospital treatment days, but has not confirmed the cause.
Yin Hua Ketan words, the more hidden parts of tsutsugamushi bite, eschar (or ulcers) is difficult to find patients with a history of complaining is not clear, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and treated as a normal fever treatment.
Zhou Lixin also known, the location of tsutsugamushi bites generally more subtle and difficult to find, and diagnosis of scrub typhus usually takes 5 to 7 days, as the first week's performance is not obvious. He said the symptoms of scrub typhus is mainly sustained days of fever, hepatosplenomegaly, heart rate increased, white blood cells, thrombocytopenia. Odoriferous parts, such as perineal, axillary positions, such as found in eschar.
"The earlier the earlier the treatment of scrub typhus, the better." Zhou Lixin, once people realize that the days of high fever and their continued, and had recently come into contact with wet grass, swamps, etc., or through insect bites, there uncomfortable, there are scars on the skin, it should be immediately to the hospital, and take the initiative to tell the doctor-related contact history.
Saying: mild scrub typhus mortality was zero
City Luo Hongtao, director of a hospital infection that scrub typhus in the humid, hot in the south is more common in the winter or occasional cases reported in northern regions.
Luo Hongtao, said the initial stage of scrub typhus epidemic in the liberation and a higher mortality rate. To the last century 80's, the scrub typhus epidemics and severe tsutsugamushi disease mortality was 70%. 80 on the last century began to analyze a large number of scrub typhus cases found that cases occurred with the liberation is different. As the two periods of pathogens carried by different tsutsugamushi, scrub typhus after a phase can be combined to show the characteristics of multiple organ failure, therefore, higher death rate.
Chigger mites live in the grasslands, swamps and other wet areas, carrying the bacteria bites chigger larvae of the human body, the bacteria spread to the human body, "it had a couple in love sitting grass, while infected with scrub typhus cases."
"The mild scrub typhus good prognosis, primary hospitals can cure the disease. However, scrub typhus and severe multiple organ failure, then death rates will be high." Luo Hongtao said she had studied 96 cases of severe scrub typhus and analysis, more than three organ failure in people with severe scrub typhus, the mortality rate 90%.
Luo Hongtao said that, overall mortality rate of scrub typhus is about 0 to 40%, mild scrub typhus mortality rate was 0, severe scrub typhus patients with multiple organ failure, mortality rate of 80%. The treatment of scrub typhus in the principal drug chloramphenicol, the effect is obvious with this drug.
Luo Hongtao, said the First Hospital of Infectious Disease, more cases of scrub typhus were treated each year, has treated more than 10 cases this year, but no sign of increase in cases.

According to the First Hospital ICU, infection specialists, said scrub typhus in the hot, humid south quite common to many cases of admissions every year, and deaths each year.
