Staphylococcus is the most common microbe in thethe earth. The carriers of this bacterium are the majority of the inhabitants of the planet. As a rule, the presence of staphylococcus in the body does not show itself. However, under unsanitary conditions, overpopulation, unhealthy foods, staphylococcus begins its negative impact. With reduced immunity, staphylococcosis in the nasopharynx or on the skin, especially in children, is the risk of serious illness. Staphylococcus is capable of producing toxins, thereby disrupting the vital functions of the cells of the mucous membranes and skin. Often it is with staphylococcal infection that dangerous diseases begin, including sepsis, pneumonia, purulent skin diseases, severe intoxication of the body.
The most common are the following pathogenic staphylococci:
· Saprophytic staphylococcus aureus;
· Staphylococcus aureus;
· Staphylococcus epidermis;
· Hemolytic staphylococcus.
According to experts, most often staphylococcus aureusaffects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. For example, hemolytic staphylococcus is the causative agent of angina (acute tonsillitis). It is found in bacteriological studies of secretions from the throat of patients with angina in 70% of cases. Therefore, many doctors consider angina or inflammation of the tonsils as a kind of staphylococcal infection. In patients with angina, an increase in the level of staphylococcal antibodies is found several times more often than in healthy people. In chronic tonsillitis, hemolytic staphylococcus is sown in about 50% of cases.
The main typical manifestations ofStaphylococcal infection in the throat is an increase and hyperemia (redness) of the tonsils, as well as pain when swallowing. In childhood, the damage to the tonsils caused by hemolytic streptococcus can be complicated by otitis media, inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes and scarlet fever.
Transmission of staphylococcal infection occurscontact way. By the way, it is worth noting that hemolytic staphylococcus is quite stable. There are cases when bacteria remain on the tonsils and in the nasopharynx in a dormant state even after the course of treatment of hemolytic staphylococcus, and, accordingly, can be transmitted to the most susceptible people. The incubation (latent) period of the disease lasts about two days.
The consistent treatment of hemolytic staphylococcus guarantees no subsequent serious complications (rheumatism, nephritis, sepsis and a number of other dangerous diseases).
The very process of treatment of hemolytic staphylococcusit is not easy, but the cure is realistic, it is only necessary to ensure that the resistance of the bacterium to the antibiotic used does not develop. Assigning the analysis to the sensitivity to antibiotics, the doctor will most likely recommend systemic treatment of hemolytic staphylococcus in combination with antibiotics, immunomodulating agents and drugs that restore normal microflora in the body.
All drugs prescribed by a doctor according to the scheme,must necessarily drink. In addition, it is important that the course of treatment has been passed completely. Otherwise, the remaining hemolytic staphylococci become resistant to antibiotics and are practically immune to standard antibiotic treatment. And only after completing the full course of therapy, after taking the tests, you can be sure that the fight against bacteria is completed, and the body is healthy. Remember, the main principle of therapy for hemolytic staphylococcus is an increase in immunity.
Take care of yourself, temper the body, eat fully, go in for sports, rest in the fresh air. Strong immunity is a reliable protector against any bacteria.
