An infectious disease characterized by damage to the colon and intoxication of the body (weakness, malaise, headache, fever, nausea, sometimes vomiting). The causative agents of dysentery are bacteria from the intestinal family. They long time persist in food products (milk, butter, cheese, vegetables), survive for some time in soil contaminated with the feces of patients, in contaminated open water bodies.
Pathways of transmission of pathogens - household, food, water. Household infection occurs through direct contact with a patient, through household items (door handles, switches, etc.). During the warm season, food products become contaminated by flies, which carry microscopic feces particles containing bacteria on their proboscis and paws. Consumption of contaminated foods that have not been heat treatment, can cause group disease of dysentery. Infection can occur by drinking water contaminated with feces from open water bodies or by swimming in them.
Dysentery occurs at any time of the year, but more often in summer and autumn due to the consumption of unwashed fruits, vegetables, boiled water from open water bodies, fly activity, etc. Dysentery is transmitted only through the mouth. Once in the stomach, some of the pathogens die, and a toxic substance is released - endoxin, which is absorbed in the intestines, then enters the blood and has a toxic effect on the body. Some microbes reach the colon, where, as a result of their proliferation, inflammation occurs, including the formation of ulcers. For 2 to 7 days (sometimes up to several weeks), the pathogen can remain in the human body without causing signs of disease. This is the so-called incubation period.
The disease often develops acutely. Weakness, malaise, chilling appear, the temperature may rise, and cramping pain in the abdomen is noted. Bowel movements become more frequent (up to 10 - 25 or more times a day); The stools are at first fecal in nature, then they become liquid, scanty, mucus and blood appear in them. Frequent painful urges occur that are not accompanied by bowel movements.
If signs of dysentery appear, the patient must be isolated and given individual dishes and washing supplies. During this period, the patient should not be fed, only given plenty of warm drinks, such as unsweetened tea. If he has a chill, he should be wrapped up and warmed with heating pads. The question of hospitalization is decided by the doctor. When treating at home, follow measures to prevent infection of others. The patient’s feces must be disinfected, they should be covered with dry bleach at the rate of 200 g per 1 liter of discharge, mixed, left for 1 hour and only then drained into the sewer. After each use, boil the patient’s dishes in a 2% soap-soda solution (1.5 tablespoons of baking soda per 1 liter of soapy water). Body and bed sheets boil in a soap-soda solution for 30 minutes. Wet clean the room daily with a 1% hot soap-soda solution (1 tablespoon of soda per 1 liter of soapy water).
Modern medicine has effective means, which cause the death of dysentery bacteria and neutralize the toxin they secrete.
