Pharyngeal conjunctival fever
Introduction
Brief introduction of pharyngeal membrane heat The pathogen causing pharyngeal membrane heat is two types of type 42 adenoviruses - type 3 and type 7. The virus enters the gastrointestinal tract of children from the mouth. Swimming pool water contaminated with this type of adenovirus may also cause pharyngeal membrane heat. The pharyngeal conjunctival fever can be prevalent in small groups of children. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.025% Susceptible people: children Mode of infection: contact infection Complications: pharyngitis, parapharyngeal abscess
Cause
Pharyngeal conjugate membrane fever
Two types of adenovirus type 42 - type 3 and type 7, are caused by the virus entering the gastrointestinal tract of children.
Prevention
Pharyngeal membrane thermal prevention
The natural course of pharyngeal conjugate membrane fever is about one week, and there is generally no sequelae. Recognizing this, parents can avoid blind fears, and do not have to give children a lot of antibiotics every day, because antibiotics will not shorten the course of the disease, and reasonable treatment and care can accelerate physical recovery. Be careful to let your child drink more water and eat light and digestible food. Supplementing multivitamins and trace element zinc helps to restore the disease.
Complication
Pharyngeal membrane thermal complications Complications, pharyngitis, parapharyngeal abscess
Can be complicated by pharyngitis, parapharyngeal abscess and so on.
Symptom
Pharyngeal conjugate membrane fever symptoms Common symptoms High fever neck lymph nodes enlargement throat pain eyes red pharyngeal congestion pharyngeal mucosa diffuse congestion
(1) Acute onset, high fever, pharyngeal congestion, obvious pain, and obvious redness of the eyes (medical sputum conjunctival follicular hyperplasia, congestion, edema).
(2) The body temperature can reach 39 ° C ~ 40 ° C or higher, the high heat time is longer than the common cold, and often lasts for 3 to 5 days.
(3) The redness of the eyes of the pharyngeal conjugate membrane is limited to one side of the eye, and the secretion of the eye is small. This is the key to redness of the eyes that distinguish other diseases. It can also be red on both sides of the eye, but the degree of redness is different.
(4) The lymph nodes of the neck, behind the ear and under the jaw are often swollen; sometimes there are gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea.
Examine
Pharyngeal membrane thermal examination
B-mode ultrasound and blood routine examination.
Diagnosis
Pharyngeal conjugate membrane thermal diagnosis
Generally speaking, "red eye disease" is medically called acute conjunctivitis, which is caused by bacteria. It is characterized by both eyes being congested and reddened, especially with more secretions, which will seal the eyes and make them unable to open. Wake up more obvious. In addition, "red eye disease" rarely produces high fever. The main difference between pharyngeal membrane heat and "red eyes" is high fever, unilateral eye congestion and no obvious eye secretions.
