hemolytic streptococcus

Hemolytic streptococcus was discovered relatively recently,
but diagnostic methods and methods for treating diseases have already been developed,
which he calls.

The most common diseases that hemolytic streptococcus causes are streptococcal ARI and tonsillitis. The bacterium is very resistant to chemical and physical influences, tolerates deep freezing, and in the dried state can retain pathogenicity for several months. Alpha hemolytic streptococcus is able to ferment lactose, so it is used to produce lactic acid. The bacterium is very dangerous for humans, as it releases toxins that trigger autoimmune reactions. The result is
severe illnesses such as glomerulonephritis and rheumatism. Yes, and infectious processes with her participation are extremely difficult.

In addition to the fact that streptococcus hemolytic adapts well to any external conditions, it is transmitted in all possible ways: alimentary, tactile, airborne. The transmission of infection through household appliances and hygiene items is possible. Lightning spread of infection occurs in closed collectives, such as schools and kindergartens, army collectives, prisons.

Hemolytic streptococcus is considered the most dangerous virus for humans and can cause erysipelas, phlegmon, sepsis, scarlet fever, streptoderma, otitis media and meningitis. To prevent these diseases, it is necessary to destroy the pathogen - hemolytic streptococcus, the treatment of which is carried out with medication.

To detect an infection, a throat swab is taken, based on which the study is conducted. Treatment is prescribed only by a doctor. It will not be superfluous to take diuretic and immunomodulating drugs. To prevent diseases caused by streptococcal infection, products such as onions, carrots, garlic, strawberries and raspberries are widely used. Perfectly increase the immunity of tinctures of hops, burdock, Echinacea purpurea. For the same purpose, it is recommended to use cherry juice and walnuts. Particularly important are preventive measures for pregnant women, since 30% of them have streptococci found in the genitals and gastrointestinal tract.

A distinctive feature of hemolytic streptococcus is its rapid spread from the primary focus to nearby tissues and lymph nodes. With the rapid development of the body's immune responses and normal adaptive ability, the infectious process can be stopped at any stage, provided proper and timely treatment is given. Due to the absorption of toxins and their distribution throughout the body, a toxic syndrome occurs. Its main manifestations are vomiting, tachycardia, fever and a sharp deterioration in the general condition of the patient. The severity of toxic manifestations depends on the properties of the pathogen and the state of toxic human immunity. The impact on the human body of streptococcal protein causes an allergic syndrome and entails the development of collagenosis and nephritis. Clinical manifestations can range from the mildest forms to the most severe septic diseases. The incubation period is from several hours to 4-6 days.

The entire group of streptococcal infections has common clinical features, despite their diversity. In severe cases, clinical manifestations are very pronounced, as their severity decreases, their features disappear. Often a streptococcal infection develops against the background of exacerbation of chronic diseases such as diabetes, chlamydia and mycoplasmosis, secondary infection with Escherichia coli. In this case, the infection penetrates into the internal organs and leads to severe inflammatory processes.
