How to treat trichinosis?

summary

Trichinosis is rare in daily life, so many people don't know much about it. Trichinosis is a zoonosis caused by Trichinella spiralis. People are infected by eating raw or undercooked pork or other animal meat containing live Trichinella spiralis larvae. The main clinical manifestations were gastrointestinal symptoms, fever, eyelid edema, muscle pain and eosinophilia. The vitality of Trichinella spiralis is strong, and insufficient fumigation or rinsing is not enough to kill its larvae. In addition, Trichinella spiralis can also be transmitted between human and livestock through feces. The following will be a detailed introduction of the disease treatment guidelines.

How to treat trichinosis?

First, the clinical manifestations of the disease should be clarified. The latent period of the disease is variable. After the incubation period, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, and the patient's skin showed swelling and induration, and felt pain during chewing, swallowing, breathing and eye movement. In addition, it may also involve the myocardium, leading to low heart sound, arrhythmia, galloping rhythm and cardiac insufficiency, which is very serious.

Second, in diagnosis, serological principles can be used, such as slide agglutination test, latex agglutination test, complement binding test, counter immunoelectrophoresis, indirect immunofluorescence antibody test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The soluble antigen of Trichinella spiralis can also be used to detect the specific antibodies in patients' serum, so as to play a diagnostic role.

Third: trichinosis has some clinical similarities with enteritis, typhoid, food poisoning, angioneurotic edema and dermatomyositis, so it should be well differentiated. In terms of treatment, it is appropriate to use analgesics to relieve the pain of patients. Patients with severe myocardial central nervous system involvement can be given adrenocortical hormone, preferably with insecticidal drugs.
