Night terrors in children biting fingers

Introduction Pediatric night stunned fingers are the clinical manifestations of tsutsugamushi disease. In different stages of development in the intestine, the worm can stimulate the intestinal wall and nerve endings, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Cause

Etiology: In the different developmental stages of the intestine, the worm can stimulate the intestinal wall and nerve endings, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction. Adults attached to the intestinal mucosa can cause local inflammation, and females can cause ulcers, hemorrhage, and submucosal abscess after penetrating into the deep intestinal mucosa. In a few cases, aphids can also invade the intestinal wall and extraintestinal tissues, causing granuloma centered on the worm (or eggs). The ectopic damage of aphids is very extensive, and the most common are female reproductive system, pelvic cavity, abdominal organs and so on. Lung and prostate damage has also been reported. Due to the different organs of ectopic damage, patients can exhibit a variety of clinical symptoms and different signs, often resulting in misdiagnosis. The formation of aphid granuloma is seen by the naked eye as a small yellowish nodule in the center of the white. The tissue section showed that the outer layer was the membrane of collagen fibers, and the inner layer was a central necrotic area in which a granulation tissue was burnt, and there were worms or eggs in the necrotic area.
