After inquiry, Ms. Li learned that the ** Department of Wuhan First Hospital had a special outpatient clinic for disease A, and since October, she has been transferred to the outpatient clinic of the hospital to find Yang Jing, the deputy chief physician, for consultation. At this time,Ms. Lee's nails had begun to turn yellow and gray, and some of the damaged nail shells had broken off.
Upon examination, Ms. Li did not have a fungal infection, which ruled out the possibility of nail fungus. Knowing that the nail was initially green, Yang Jing deduced that she should be infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on clinical experience, which is a bacterial infection and should be given antibiotics**. After standardized medication, when Ms. Li returned to the clinic in early December, Ms. Li's damaged nail bed had improved, and the new nail shell had grown completely. Yang Jing advised that in the future, we should pay attention to hand protection and maintenance.
As a part of the human epidermis, nails should be protected to prevent germs from taking advantage of them. Yang Jing explained that the nail cuticle is a thin, translucent arc-shaped protective film on the surface of the root of the nail, and the subungual skin is a layer of cuticular membrane in the nail seam. If the nail groove on both sides of the nail is damaged, it will also increase the risk of infection by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, which can cause paronychia, subungual warts, nail fungus, etc. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a relatively common bacterial infection, and after infection, the nails will turn yellow, green, thicken, etc., and there is also the possibility of nail loss. People who often soak their hands in water are prone to green turning of parts of their nails, which is due to green nail syndrome.
Yang Jing, deputy chief physician of the ** Department of Wuhan First Hospital, reminded that the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the New Year is approachingMembers of the public are advised to take care of their hand health when washing and scrubbing at home, avoid frequent contact with detergents containing chemicals, and do not allow their hands to be soaked in water for a long time. Wear gloves when necessary, and frequent soaking in water will destroy the protective barrier on the surface, which can easily make germs invade. When washing your hands, the water temperature should not be too cold or too hot, and do not rub too hard**. Pay attention to moisturizing, apply more hand cream, dry and cracked skin does not fit well, it will also give germs a chance.
