Ornithosis infection
Ornithosis - acute infectious disease,
characterized by symptoms of intoxication, preferably defeat
Lungs, nervous system and hepatolyenal syndrome.
Tanks and sources of pathogen are about 140 species
domestic and wild birds, which causes widespread
Ornithose. In vivo, birds have an infection be detected as
rule, in latent form, in captivity or other adverse
The circumstances have a manifestic disease. Wild birds
can serve as a source of infection of domestic birds, which leads to
The emergence of secondary anthroponous foci of ornithosis. Most
Epidemic importance have homemade (ducks, turkey), indoor
Decorative (wavy parrots) Birds and pigeons. Pathogen
contained in feces and nose secret of birds, as well as in their feathers and
Pohel.
Ornithosis is a vocational disease of the employees of the poultry farm,
Poultry farms, as well as persons working out, processing and packaging
Bird of birds, loaders, sorters and packs of eggs.
Transmission Mechanism - Aerogenic (transmitted through air). Main paths of infection -
Air-drip and air-dust. Human infection
happens when contact with sick birds.
Infection of a healthy person from the patient is not observed. High ornithosis susceptibility.
For ornithosis, spring and autumn seasonality is characteristic. Sporadic
Cases of the disease may occur throughout the year.
The causative agent of ornithosis refers to the genus of chlamydia that occupy
intermediate position between viruses and rickettsies, have cocked
Forms and are bonded intracellular parasites.
Unlike chlamydia viruses are sensitive to some antibiotics.
Sustainable freezing, inactivated when heated and under
The action of various disinfectants.
Entrance gates of infection are the upper respiratory tract.
The causative agent penetrates the epithelium of small bronchi and bronchiol, and then in
interstitial fabric, where multiplies and accumulates.
In the future, chlamydia enter blood. Hematogenic (blood) circulation
The causative agent determines the symptoms of general intoxication, fixing it
In organs - the defeat of the nervous system, liver, spleen arises,
Cardiac muscle, adrenal glands. In the internal organs he can
Strongly persist, causing when reacting a recurrence of the disease.
Symptoms of ornithosis
The incubation period during ornithosis lasts 6-17 days. Allocate acute and chronic forms of the disease.
Acute ornithosis has no progress. In typical cases
proceeds in the form of pneumonia, begins acutely, with temperature increase
up to 38-39°WITH. Headache, chills, profuse sweating appear,
Malgia and Arthralgia, insomnia, inhibition, nausea. For 2-4 days
Diseases arise dry or with a scanty mucous membrane cough, pain
in chest. When studying the lungs, percussion changes are pretty
Scooty. Only when localizing the focus of inflammation closer to the periphery of the lungs
Or with its massiveness, clearly hear the dullness of the percussion sound.
Determined hard breathing, scattered dry wheezes and
In a limited area - wet small-pushed wheezes. Pneumonia, as
rule, one-sided and detected in the lower dollars. She wears
interstitial, less often focal or subdolen character.
The defeat of the cardiovascular system is manifested by the deafness of heart
Tones, bradycardia, with severe flow - Tachycardia. Arterial
Pressure lowered.
The defeat of the gastrointestinal tract is manifested by a decrease in appetite,
Sometimes full anorexia, constipation or diarrhea. Thickened language, covered
gray raid, the edges of the tongue are clean, visible tooth imprints. By the end of the first
Weeks of the disease in most patients there is an increase in liver,
Selezenki.
In the blood is determined by leukopenia (Reducing the number of leukocytes) or normal number of leukocytes, aezinophilia (Lack of blood eosinophils). Soe is usually raised.
Atypical form of ornithosis proceeds by type of meningopnemia, ornithosis meningitis and ornithous infection without lung damage.
Under meningopnemia in patients, along with pneumonia, signs expressed
lesions of the central nervous system in the form of a sharp headache,
vomiting, rigidity of the occipital muscles, positive symptoms of Kernig,
Brudzinsky.
Under meningheal form, only meningeal symptoms are noted and
intoxication. Ornithous meningitis usually serous. In cerebrepinal
Liquids are determined by small pleyocytosis, moderate zoom of protein.
Ornithosis without lung damage flows with temperate fever, sore throat, muscle pain, liver and spleen.
Asymptomatic (subclinical) form of acute ornithosis detected
Only during epidemic outbreaks in the focus of infection during laboratory
Survey.
Chronic form of ornithosis proceed in the form of chronic pneumonia with
Symptoms of bronchitis or without pneumonia with intoxication, defeat
various organs and systems, asthenization. The disease lasts 3-5 years and
more.
Treatment and prevention of ornithosis
Antibiotics use from etiotropic agents. Most effective
Tetracycline drugs. Along with this is carried out disintellation
Therapy comprising in / in the introduction of crystalloid and colloidal solutions.
In some cases, glucocorticosteroids are shown.
From therapy with important components are
Oxigeotherapy and bronchovelics. Use symptomatic means.
In the chronic course of the disease, vitaminotherapy is recommended,
Tools, Medical Physical Administration. With a protracted flow
Prescribed vaccine therapy.
With ornithosis, prevention includes sanitary and veterinary measures in
Poultry farms and processing enterprises
Pooh and feather. It is necessary to accept quarantine measures when importing from the outside
decorative and household birds in the country. It has important
Compliance with personal hygiene rules - washing and disinfection of hands,
Using overalls.
