How to prevent non Vibrio cholerae infection?

summary

How to prevent non Vibrio cholerae infection? Infection is caused by non Vibrio cholerae, which is different from Vibrio cholerae in biochemical and serological aspects. It can cause wound infection, enterotoxicosis or diarrhea due to different pathogenic strains. It should be distinguished from cholera and bacillary dysentery. Avoid eating contaminated or not fresh food, high-risk patients with skin wounds should avoid operating seafood and contact with sea water, which can play a positive role in prevention.

How to prevent non Vibrio cholerae infection?

Food borne diseases are mainly caused by ingestion of food containing non cholera vibrio, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio Huo's, Vibrio vulnificus, so-called non agglutinating Vibrio and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. After the incubation period of 15-24 hours, the disease began to attack acutely, with spasmodic abdominal pain, watery diarrhea (stool can be bloody and contain polymorphonuclear leukocytes), no rash, fatigue, and sometimes low fever. After 24-48 hours, the symptoms subsided spontaneously, and non agglutinating Vibrio could cause hormonal like disease, which could be isolated from wound and blood. Wounds infected by warm sea water can evolve into cellulitis, and some cases can rapidly deteriorate into necrotizing fasciitis with typical bleeding and bullous lesions. After ingestion by the damaged host (usually with liver disease or immunodeficiency), Vibrio vulnificus can pass through the intestinal mucosa without causing enteritis, but can produce septicemia with high mortality.

High risk patients with skin wounds should avoid handling unburned seafood and contacting seawater. Non Vibrio cholerae infection can be treated with ciprofloxacin 1g or doxycycline 300mg. Close attention should be paid to supplement blood volume and lost electrolytes during diarrhea. The patients with necrotizing fasciitis should be treated with surgical debridement besides antibiotics.

Avoid eating contaminated or stale food. High risk patients with skin wounds should avoid handling unburned seafood and contacting sea water. Pay close attention to supplement blood volume and lost electrolytes in case of diarrhea. The patients with necrotizing fasciitis should be treated with surgical debridement besides antibiotics.

matters needing attention

Non Vibrio cholerae infection can be treated with ciprofloxacin. In addition to antibiotics, surgical debridement should be performed in patients with necrotizing fasciitis. Avoid eating contaminated or stale food. High risk patients with skin wounds should avoid handling unburned seafood and contacting seawater.
