Become a "Minion".

Recently, Uncle Lin (pseudonym), who lives in Luohu, Shenzhen, hung up in the gastroenterology department due to diarrhea, nausea and other symptoms. But after Uncle Lin took the medicine for a few days, it still didn't work, but he found that he had become "yellow".Not only is the urine dark brown, but even the whites of the eyes and ** are also pale yellow. So, Uncle Lin changed to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Doctors did a further examination of him and found that he had a jaundice index of 2864 (normal value is around 20). Eventually, Uncle Lin was diagnosed with acute hepatitis E. Uncle Lin was frightened and immediately admitted to the hospital according to the doctor's instructions, ** three days later, the symptoms still did not change, and the jaundice index rose to 346. At the doctor's suggestion, Uncle Lin hurriedly transferred to the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen for treatment.

Because the hepatitis E virus is a virus that "enters the disease from the mouth", the doctor asked Uncle Lin about his diet during this time. Uncle Lin recalled,A week ago, the family had mutton hot pot at a family dinner. The incubation period for hepatitis E virus is 2 to 8 weeksBased on this, the doctor speculated that some of the ingredients were not fully cooked during the shabu-shabu process, which caused Uncle Lin to fall ill.

In response to Uncle Lin's condition, the medical staff finally made his condition gradually improve after about half a month of meticulous **.

What is hepatitis E? Who is susceptible to being "recruited"?

According to doctors, viral hepatitis is divided into five common types: A, B, C, D, and E. Hepatitis E is not well-known, but it is very lethal, more common than hepatitis A, and has a greater case fatality rate. According to the national epidemic data, since 2012,The incidence of hepatitis E continues to exceed that of hepatitis A, ranking first among acute viral hepatitis, and the case fatality rate is about 10 times that of hepatitis A.

In the past month, the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen has received nearly 10 cases of hepatitis E patients, most of whom have serious liver damage. Hepatitis E has the following characteristics:1Outbreaks are mostly caused by faecal contamination of water sources, and emissions are mostly caused by the consumption of unclean food or drinks. 2.Hidden staining is more common, and visible staining mainly occurs in the adult population. 3.There are spring and winter peaks. The incidence of hepatitis E is mainly concentrated in the middle-aged and elderly people over 45 years old, and the incidence rate of the elderly over 60 years old increases the most, which may be related to factors such as the decline of physiological function and poor resistance of the elderly. The incidence of hepatitis E infection in males is higher than that in females, and the mortality rate of pregnant women infected with hepatitis E is as high as 20%-30%. In addition, hepatitis E is more likely to develop severe hepatitis in people with liver disease. Clinical data show that once underlying liver diseases such as hepatitis B, fatty liver and alcoholic liver are superinfected with hepatitis E, the case fatality rate is as high as 177%。Therefore, patients with underlying liver disease should also do a good job in the prevention of hepatitis E while actively developing the underlying liver disease.

How is the hepatitis E virus transmitted?

1.Digestive tract transmission

It can be transmitted directly or indirectly through the digestive tract by contaminating domestic water, tableware, vegetables and fruits, etc., and eating undercooked pork, pork liver, shellfish and seafood can also cause foodborne transmission of hepatitis E virus. 2.Blood-borneTransfusion of blood or blood products with hepatitis E virus. 3.Mother-to-child transmissionHepatitis E infection in pregnant women can cause miscarriage and stillbirth in utero, and the virus may be transmitted to newborns, resulting in acute hepatitis E in newborns.

Common symptoms after hepatitis E infection.

After being infected with hepatitis E virus, most people have no severe symptoms or may even be infected, and there are no obvious clinical manifestations.

However, some patients will have an acute attack, with obvious gastrointestinal symptoms, and even some systemic symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, jaundice, etc., and even death due to liver failure in severe cases.

How to effectively prevent hepatitis E.

1.Get vaccinated

There is currently no specific drug for hepatitis E, and hepatitis E vaccination is the most economical and effective way to prevent hepatitis E, so it is recommended that everyone get vaccinated as soon as possible to get protection as soon as possible to avoid irreversible damage and consequences. 2.Don't be greedy for "tenderness".Hepatitis E is a zoonotic disease, in addition to hepatitis E patients and subclinical infections as the source of infection, pigs, cattle, sheep, deer, rats, dogs, cats and other people carrying hepatitis E virus can also become the source of hepatitis E infection, ingestion of contaminated water or pork, pig liver, seafood, etc., may suffer from hepatitis E. In everyday life, the most common route of hepatitis E infection is through diet. Most patients are caused by eating some uncooked seafood, pork and other foods in their diet. 3.Raw and cooked kitchenware should be separatedRaw and cooked utensils should be separated, and vegetables and fruits must be cleaned. 4.Clean your refrigerator regularly and keep different foods separateStoring different foods separately avoids cross-contamination of bacteria. It is also necessary to store tightly closed in a clean container, such as a crisper box, plastic bag, or wrap the dishes in plastic wrap. In addition, if the refrigerator is not cleaned regularly, all kinds of bacteria, especially E. coli, can grow in a damp and cold environment. If you take out the refrigerated food and eat it immediately, the bacteria will invade the gastrointestinal tract and cause "refrigerator gastroenteritis". These must be known about hepatitis
