Antibiotic associated enteritis should be paid attention to in summer

Seasonal reasons, gastrointestinal disease is common, and a variety of causes, we analyze a more common enteritis.

Not long ago, Aunt Wang, nearly 60 years old, had diarrhea after taking antibiotics for a period of time due to urinary tract infection. She went to the drugstore and bought two boxes of norfloxacin. After a few days, her symptoms did not improve. She found out the berberine at home and used it for more than a week. Who knows diarrhea day by day more serious, about 10 times a day water samples, pull her even waist is not straight up, rushed to the hospital. After laboratory tests, the doctor said she was suffering from intestinal flora disorder, also known as antibiotic associated enteritis.

What is antibiotic related enteritis? Chief physician Yang Guohong, chief physician of Department of Gastroenterology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of traditional Chinese medicine, said that this is an enteritis caused by long-term use or abuse of antibiotics. In real life, many people frown when they mention bacteria. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Bacteria are the lifelong companions of human beings. There are 4500 kinds of bacteria in the digestive tract alone, and the number is trillions, including a large part of bacteria that are beneficial to human body, such as lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, etc.

Under normal circumstances, these beneficial bacteria can inhibit and resist the growth and reproduction of a variety of pathogenic bacteria, eliminate harmful bacteria and toxins in the intestinal tract, and play a role in 'purifying the environment' and maintaining human health. But in some specific cases, the original can not cause disease bacteria will also make people sick. For example, when antibiotics are used for a long time, they can kill some pathogenic bacteria and inhibit or kill the normal flora at the same time. As a result, a large number of pathogenic bacteria (such as Staphylococcus, Candida albicans, etc.) which are not sensitive to antibiotics will proliferate in large quantities, leading to the occurrence of intestinal flora disorder.

The disease is often seen in the elderly and weak and infants, clinical manifestations for diarrhea. The stool is light yellow or yellow green watery stool. In severe cases, dehydration, acidosis and electrolyte disorder may occur. The patient's blood routine was normal at this time, and only a few red and white blood cells or normal were found in stool microscopic examination. Director Yang stressed that if the patient has diarrhea symptoms, he must first go to the hospital to check his stool and blood routine. If necessary, he can make fecal pathogen culture and intestinal bacterial spectrum analysis, and never use antibiotics indiscriminately. The main treatment of the disease is to stop all antibiotics, use intestinal flora regulation drugs, if necessary, supplement the patient with water and electrolyte, and diet.
