Food hygiene is very important when going abroad! A new resident woman from the north returned to Indonesia to visit relatives with her husband and two sons from August 6 to 19. The woman went to the hospital for three times due to diarrhea, abdominal distension and other discomfort symptoms from August 20 to 30, and was diagnosed as typhoid Bacillus after examination. His eldest son began to have a low fever, sore throat, cough, diarrhea and abdominal distension on August 3 1. On September 4, I went to see a doctor because of his symptoms, and was also diagnosed as typhoid fever after examination.
If hand hygiene is not implemented, family members are prone to infection.
According to the disease control department, these two cases have no habit of eating and drinking raw food. In Indonesia, everyone drinks bottled water and grows a small amount of vegetables at home. Well water is used for cooking. Because the woman usually takes care of herself at home for three meals, it is not ruled out that hand hygiene is not implemented when cooking, or the bathroom at home is not cleaned and disinfected, which leads to infection. Health units have carried out health education and explained disinfection methods, and will continue to follow up their health.
According to the statistics of CDC, as of September 9 this year, there were * * * confirmed cases of typhoid fever 1 1 cases in China, including 2 local cases and 9 overseas immigrants. The infected countries were Indonesia (4 cases), India (2 cases), Myanmar, Philippines and Cambodia (1 case) respectively.
Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by personal household hygiene.
Typhoid fever is an infectious disease of gastrointestinal tract, and the incubation period is about 8 to 14 days (it can range from 3 to 60 days). Infection is mainly caused by eating raw food or undercooked food or drinking water contaminated by feces of patients or carriers. In addition, flies may spread germs into food and become a medium of transmission. Common symptoms of infection include persistent fever, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea or cough. Precautions include washing hands thoroughly with soap before and after meals, and cooking food thoroughly before eating, especially crustacean seafood. It is suggested that the cooking time should be more than 10 minute, and the drinking water should be boiled or bottled mineral water should be used.
You can get vaccinated when you go abroad. Suspected symptoms should be treated.
The disease control department calls for people who plan to go to remote or small cities and villages with poor sanitary conditions (such as visiting relatives, volunteering, backpackers, etc.). Before going abroad, you can consult and evaluate typhoid vaccination in the tourist medical clinic. In addition, we should still pay attention to food safety and implement good personal hygiene habits such as correct and frequent hand washing to reduce the risk of infection; If you have suspected symptoms after returning to China, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and inform the doctor of your travel and diet history.
