Charcoal's disease overview

What is

What is anthrax?

Coal disease, another name is Excuse heat , is a infectious disease caused by a gram -positive bacterium, a rod, Bacillus anthracis. The disease is caused on hot blood animals such as cattle, wildlife or may also be Human anthrax .

A coal disease is a current threat when it is increasingly being taken advantage of this disease to make biological weapons.

Causes of Charcoal's disease

Causes of anthrax is Bacillus anthracis bacteria. Bacillus anthracis bacteria have the ability to produce spores, also known as cells as the main factor leading to anthrax. When spores after many years hide in the natural environment, the spores of Bacillus Anthracis bacteria have existed for a long time and have very high vitality in harsh environments. This type of spore also has heat resistance and resistance to some disinfectant chemicals.

From these pathogenic spores, humans are exposed to animals, the products of infected animals, wounds, inhalation of pathogenic bacteria will cause coal disease.

Symptoms of Charcoal's disease

Symptoms of coal diseases depend on which pathway occurs and these symptoms appear for seven days after contact.

Symptoms of coal diseases occur in skin

The disease occurs through a skin cut that includes the following manifestations:

  • Some blisters and small tumors can cause itching
  • Swelling around the wound
  • The wound may not be painful, ulcers, black mind appears after a blister and small tumor, position on the face, neck, arms, hands.

    • Symptoms of coal diseases occur through the respiratory tract

  • Fever, chills.
  • Uncomfortable chest area, shortness of breath.
  • dizziness.

    • ho

  • nausea, vomiting.
  • Headache

    • Abdominal pain.

  • Sweating.

    • Same pain.

    Muscle aches.

    Symptoms of coal diseases occur through the gastrointestinal tract

    Due to eating foods, animal meat contaminated with bacteria, often have the following signs:

  • Fever, chills.
  • neck swelling, neck lymph nodes.
  • Sore throat, swallowing pain.
  • hoarseness.

    • Nausea, vomiting, vomiting.

    Abdominal pain.

  • diarrhea, bloody diarrhea.
  • Headache.
  • blush.
  • Red eyes.

    • Transmission route of Charcoal's diseaseCharcoal

    Mainly transmitted coal disease through three paths:

  • Through open wounds on the skin
  • through the respiratory tract
  • through the gastrointestinal tract

    • All three paths have a direct cause of infection of bacteria from animal tissue, skin, bone, fur, products derived from animal infected animals Coal through contact, touch, inhalation and eating pathogens.

    People at risk for Charcoal's disease

    Objects of risk than coal disease than normal people include:

  • Servants in the army and areas at risk of coal diseases.

    • Those involved in the study of anthropomyers in the laboratory.

    Persons who work in skin treatment and animal hairs in areas at risk of coal diseases.

  • People working in the veterinary industry.
  • Injecting people, using drugs.

    • Prevention of Charcoal's disease

    To prevent coal diseases, it is necessary to take the following measures:

  • Propaganda to preserve personal hygiene, especially when exposed to contaminated bacterial bacteria.
  • Instructions for skin care care.

    • For the industry, there is a risk of coal diseases, dust prevention, good ventilation, in the processing of raw materials from raw animals.

  • Regular health check for workers in the industries at risk of disease.
  • Use labor protection, clean hygiene to avoid infection of coal diseases.

    • use formaldehyde vapor to kill bacteria in industrial areas contaminated with pathogenic bacteria.

  • Do not have dead corpses, slaughter animals suspected of being infected or have been infected with anthrax. If surgery, all tools and items must be destroyed.
  • In particular, anthrax in Vietnam is prevented by destroying the sequence of animal or animal corpses, with diseases, showing signs Maling.
  • Prohibition of selling skin and fur also contaminated animals.
  • Test wastewater and waste of animal processing factories at risk of infection.

    • Diagnostic measures for Charcoal's disease

    To accurately diagnose coal diseases, in addition to clinical symptoms, it is necessary to do subclinical techniques to strengthen the diagnosis:

    chest X -ray and computerized tomography: to assess the mediastinum expansion, pleural effusion. From there, bringing to the thought of anthrax occurring through the respiratory tract.

    Measuring antibodies, toxins in the blood.

    Testing to find bacteria Bacillus anthracis through samples:

  • The gauze pieces in the damaged skin.
  • phlegm, blood, respiratory fluid secreted.
    • blood, stool.

    Spinal fluid.

  • Land of dead animals or skin, their bones.

    • Charcoal's disease treatments

    For treatment of coal diseases :

  • Diseases occur through the most easy -to -treat skin
  • The disease occurs through the respiratory tract again and is at risk of respiratory failure, bacterial infection, bacterial shock and meningitis, so it should be actively treated. early.
  • The disease occurs through the gastrointestinal tract relatively difficult to treat because the patient is dehydrated, power outages, blood loss, blood infection and perforation.

    • For specific treatment of coal diseases, often use the following methods:

  • Medical treatment by using antibiotics combined with intravenous transmission. When treated with antibiotics, the best effect in sixty days from contact with pathogenic bacteria.
  • Vaccination for anthrax has been used for people working in the field of military, scientific research related to anthrax or risk of coal, doctors Veterinary has worked directly with infected animals or suspected of being infected with anthrax and people infected with anthrax after an attack using anthrax such as biological weapons. Subjects are not allowed to use for pregnant women, children and the elderly.
