Why is the infection of flesh-eating bacteria spreading in Japan?
After the control of the Corona epidemic, with the order of mixing with each other returning to the old rhythm in Japan, the Japanese are now fighting a rare disease. There is now an increase in the outbreak of such bacteria, which attack the tissues of the human body. This bacteria is affecting children under 15 years of age more.
This bacteria has been named carnivorous, meaning flesh-eating bacteria. This disease caused by hale is called streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). This bacteria is so dangerous that it kills a person within 48 hours.
According to Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases, this rare disease has been seen in about 1000 people in Japan so far. This disease has spread not only in Japan but in many other countries. In which there are European countries.
Although called flesh-eating bacteria, it does not eat human flesh directly, instead it kills the tissue inside the body.
This disease is caused by group A streptococcus bacteria. It harms children and the elderly more than adults. People infected with it initially have body swelling and sore throat. When Group A Streptococcus begins to kill tissue, the condition is called necrotizing fasciitis. Apart from this, problems such as body aches, fever, low blood pressure, necrosis (death of body tissue), breathing problems, and failure of various body parts also occur. The infected person dies within a few hours.
This bacteria produces toxins in the body, which causes irritation. It then damages the tissues of the body, causing the body to swell and then the tissues to die, causing severe pain.
In order to combat this disease in Japan, the health authorities are constantly studying its condition. Similarly, all hospitals in Japan have been put on alert. Keeping in mind the seriousness and danger of this disease, a campaign has been launched to alert the citizens of Japan.
By the end of this year, doctors estimate that the death rate of people who die from this disease may reach 30 percent. Due to this deadly disease, people in Japan are starting to wear masks again and take precautions.
Prevention
The scary thing is that this disease is also spread from one person to another like Corona. Therefore, to avoid this, doctors suggest to wash your hands frequently, and if you have a wound, get immediate treatment.
In which countries has it spread?
According to media reports, streptococcus disease has now spread to five European countries. Which includes UK, France, Ireland, Netherlands and Sweden. This bacteria has attacked children the most. Looking at the rate of disease increasing day by day, 2500 people may be infected with this disease in Japan every year.
