Pasteurellosis symptoms and treatment

Symptoms of pasteurellosis may include lethargy or high fever, and require prompt treatment with oral medication.

Pasteurellosis is an acute disease mainly caused by the bacterium Pasteurella multocida. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted through the digestive tract or respiratory tract. If the skin is damaged, it will also be contagious. It mainly causes sepsis or hemorrhagic inflammation. Patients will also experience loss of appetite or mental depression. In severe cases, they may also have a high fever or difficulty breathing. Penicillin or streptomycin can be chosen for treatment to effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Pasteurellosis is mostly caused by animal bites. It may also be caused by domestic animals, such as dogs or cats. The chance of contracting Pasteurella is generally relatively high, mainly due to Gram-negative bacteria infection. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a routine blood test in time.

In daily life, we must do a good job of disinfecting our homes. We need to open windows for ventilation and breathe fresh air, disinfect places regularly, stay in a dry or clean environment, and participate in physical exercise appropriately to enhance the body's disease resistance and reduce the invasion of external bacteria and viruses. Increase personal resistance, and take in enough nutrition and eat more high-quality protein foods.
