Huasheng**February 5th (correspondent Zeng Juanli, Xie Yanzhi, Quan**Reporter Zhou Wei) "Mold is a special fungus that can cause mildew reaction, and people with low immunity must be careful!" Today, Li Jianmin, director of the Department of Respiratory Ward No. 3 (RICU) of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, reminded that the Spring Festival is approaching, and everyone needs to beware of mold infection when cleaning up the clutter at home.
Uncle Yao, 60, from Taoyuan County, "almost died" because of a mold infection. More than 20 days ago, he developed cough and phlegm symptoms after cleaning moldy clothes in a poorly ventilated and damp room, and he did not pay much attention to it at that time.
Unexpectedly, 1 week later, Uncle Yao's cough and phlegm symptoms gradually worsened, and he had symptoms such as fever and difficulty breathing, so he went to the hospital for treatment. However, after going to many hospitals, the condition was not only not controlled, but gradually worsened. In order to further **, he was transferred to the Third Respiratory Ward (RICU) of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital.
At that time, we organized a discussion of difficult cases in the department, and after careful medical history and analysis, and through the etiological examination of alveolar lavage fluid, co-infection with pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus (a type of fungus) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (a common bacterium for community-acquired pneumonia) was found in his lungs. Li Jianmin said.
Li Jianmin introduced that Uncle Yao had repeated inflammation of the bronchial mucosa due to long-term heavy smoking, resulting in a decline in immune function, and he sorted out moldy clothes in a poorly ventilated and humid space, and inhaled air containing mold, which led to the occurrence of fungal pneumonia.
Mold is a special fungus that can cause mildew reactions, which is very common in our lives, and may be manifested as chronic poisoning, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, aspiration pneumonia, etc. Li Jianmin introduced.
Generally speaking, people with normal immunity are not susceptible to infection and disease, while people who work in humid environments such as farmland, cattle pens and pigsties for a long time, or people who are in frequent contact with wild animals, poultry and bird fur are more susceptible to disease than ordinary people.
Studies have shown that haematological tumors, organ transplantation, cancer chemotherapy, long-term use of immunosuppressants, long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, intensive care unit patients, elderly patients, and patients with severe viral or bacterial infections are at high risk and should minimize mold exposure. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen nutrition and exercise appropriately to enhance immunity.
Fortunately, through a combination of active anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory response, prone position, etc., Uncle Yao finally turned the corner, and now his body is recovering well and has reached the conditions for discharge.
However, Li Jianmin believes that this kind of phenomenon still needs to be taken seriously. He reminded the elderly, people with underlying diseases or low immunity to wear masks and gloves when sorting out old clothes or handling musty items in daily life, or when they are in places such as dark and damp basements, and avoid direct inhalation of moldy gases.
Please note that even unworn and unused clothes and bedding should be exposed to the sun frequently, and do not store clothes in a damp room to avoid mold. Li Jianmin said.
