In recent years, China’s “pet fever” more and more hot, more than the West has ever been. Dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits and rats, hawks, pigeons, swallows and cranes, all kinds of, no wonder. The relationship between people and pets is very close to the extreme, the same room, the same table food, the same bed, really reached the depth of the pet, love. We do not deny that pets bring fun to people, drive away the loneliness of children to broaden their horizons, increased intelligence, cultivate love; but due to a lack of knowledge, inadequate conditions, or spoiled by excessive, improper feeding, pets have brought us a lot of trouble and unintentional injuries, especially on the threat to children’s health, can not help but cause people to be vigilant. A variety of children’s “pet disease” According to incomplete statistics, every year, millions of children around the world due to pet ownership and was infected with various diseases. Studies have found that at least dozens of common childhood diseases can be infected by family pets. Common “pet diseases” are the following: 1, rabies: also known as hydrophobia, rabies virus is caused by a zoonotic acute infectious diseases of the central nervous system. Rabies virus exists in the saliva of infected cats and dogs. Although not everyone bitten by a cat or dog develops the disease, once it develops, it is almost 100% fatal. The incubation period is mostly within 3 months, with longer periods of 3 years or more. The length of the incubation period is generally related to several factors, including age, depth of the wound, location of the wound, and treatment of the wound. During the rabies attack, the child will show a high degree of excitement, extreme terror, fear of wind, fear of water, hear the sound of water, give water or mention water, can cause children throat muscle spasm; other stimuli such as light, sound, touch can also cause the child’s whole body painful convulsions, spasm of the inhalation muscle, and even death due to respiratory failure. 2, cat scratch disease: also called cat scratch fever, is caused by a pathogen called rickettsiae infection of systemic diseases. In the cat scratch skin 7 to 12 days later, the pediatric local skin appeared one to more than one red papule, turned into a small pustule, pain is not obvious, piercing the formation of small ulcers, by the general anti-inflammatory treatment, the skin primary lesion scab “cured”. However, after a period of time, ranging from a few days to several months, the local lymph nodes (e.g., axillary lymph nodes, inguinal lymph nodes, or cervical lymph nodes) may become inflamed and swollen, and may become painful, sometimes accompanied by a low-grade fever. In a few cases, symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and jaundice may be evident. It usually subsides in 2 to 4 months. A few severely ill children have complications of central and peripheral neuropathy, such as encephalitis, meningitis, optic neuritis, crural radiculitis and so on. 3, Hua Zhi testicular schistosomiasis: also known as liver fluke, caused by Hua Zhi testicular schistosomiasis parasitized by the biliary system of the human liver. It is a zoonotic parasitic disease, widely prevalent in China, according to the investigation of Beijing suburb of Tongxian, children under 15 years of age with Schistosoma cruzi infection as high as 3 to 12.3%. Most of the infected people are asymptomatic, may be slightly loss of appetite, abdominal distension, mild diarrhea, fatigue, hepatomegaly. In severe cases, there may be symptoms of chronic cholangitis and cholecystitis. Rarely, there may be wasting, jaundice, ascites and other manifestations of hepatic cirrhosis. Severe infections in childhood can lead to malnutrition and developmental disorders. 4, toxoplasmosis: is a zoonotic infectious disease, it is the most serious impact on children. Toxoplasmosis can be divided into congenital toxoplasmosis and acquired toxoplasmosis. Congenital toxoplasmosis refers to the infection of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, and the pathogen can infect the fetus through the placenta. Untreated, these pregnancies may result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or preterm delivery; pregnant women infected with toxoplasmosis in the mid- and late-pregnancy stages can reduce the incidence of congenital infections if they receive treatment. After birth, some children with congenital toxoplasmosis will slowly develop a series of symptoms: strabismus of the eyes, retinitis, blindness, microcephaly, hydrocephalus, intracranial calcification, epilepsy with crural deformity or cerebral crural bulge, hare lip and cleft palate, conjoined teratogens, mental retardation, or psychomotor retardation. Acquired toxoplasmosis is mainly infected through the oral cavity. Secretions and excretions of animals such as cats and dogs contain oocysts of toxoplasma gondii, which can enter the body from the mucous membranes or broken skin of children. Toxoplasmosis is also easily transmitted by kissing pets such as cats and dogs. Symptoms of the disease vary in severity, low-grade fever, headache, sore throat, muscle aches and pains, weakness and fatigue, etc., but also can have neck or axillary lymph node enlargement, no pressure and pain, not pus. 5, roundworm disease: dogs and cats with eggs, through its fur can be transmitted to humans. Humans can also be infected by the digestive tract through contact with soil contaminated with dog feces. Roundworm eggs in some dogs can develop in the soil through dog feces, and the larvae can enter the body through the human skin. Once inside the human skin, they can cause an intense tingling sensation and a rash. Sometimes the symptoms go away on their own within a week, and sometimes medication is needed. A small number of infected people can cause eye disease, especially in adolescents. Eggs parasitized at the retina can lead to permanent damage to the retina. 6, brucellosis: a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella. At present, it is known that there are more than 60 kinds of domestic animals, poultry, wild animals become reserve hosts. Diseased dogs and people in close contact with people can be infected to people, but also through the broken skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract, inhalation tract, can be between animals, animals and people infected with each other. The incubation period of the disease is 7 to 60 days, with an average of two weeks. Clinical manifestations are complex and varied, with different symptoms, varying in severity, showing multi-organ lesions or confined to a local area. 80% of the cases start slowly, often with antecedent symptoms, which are similar to those of a heavy cold. General malaise, fatigue and weakness, reduced food intake, headache and myalgia, irritability or depression, etc. 10～27% of patients have acute onset of the disease, with chills and high fever, excessive sweating, and wandering arthralgia as the main manifestations. 7, Campylobacter jejuni enteritis: Campylobacter jejuni is a symbiotic bacteria between humans and animals, and its main source is poultry, livestock and pets, such as chickens, pigs, dogs and cats. In their feces, bile, cloacal cavity in the presence of a large number of the bacteria, especially poultry body temperature is high, most suitable for the growth of the bacteria. People in direct contact with animals, can be infected with the disease, especially 1 to 5 years old children with the highest incidence. The incidence of pediatric bacterial diarrhea in China is second only to bacillary dysentery, ranking second. The manifestations of infection are loss of appetite, fever, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, discharge of mucus or pus and blood stool. However, Campylobacter enteritis in infants is atypical, manifesting as: (1) mild systemic symptoms, mental and physical appearance as if not sick; (2) most of the fever and abdominal pain; (3) only intermittent mild diarrhea, intermittent bloody stools, lasting for a long time; (4) a small number of diarrhea due to developmental stagnation. Easily misdiagnosed, should be vigilant. 8.Salmonellosis: usually spread by sea turtles. Mainly children who like to keep sea turtles are prone to this disease. The way to prevent it is to wash hands in time after contacting sea turtles. Symptoms of the disease include nausea, vomiting and fever. Some seriously ill children need to be hospitalized. 9, ringworm: also known as “mange head”, is caused by zoonotic canine microsporidium ringworm. The pathogenic fungus can be a long-term parasite in the pet’s body surface, pets suffer from infection caused by “mange”, when people and sick animals (such as cats, dogs, etc.) in close contact will be directly infected. Mange is characterized by hair loss, scaly scalp or bald patches. This fungal infection is very stubborn, it is not easy to go to the root child, some to be cured after puberty. 10, Lyme disease: Lyme disease is a kind of Burkholderia spirochete caused by hard ticks as the main vector of natural epidemic disease. The disease is found in rodents and other pets in nature and is transmitted to humans through tick bites. Typical symptoms are erythema of the skin, weakness, fever, headache and muscle and joint pain. Early onset of the disease can be treated with antimicrobials. Lyme disease is similar to toxoplasmosis, and infection of pregnant women with this disease can lead to infant deformities. 11, psittacosis: psittacosis, also known as bird fever or bird fever, is caused by a chlamydia infection of veterinary diseases. The source of infection is mainly sick parrots, acacia birds, pigeons, turkeys and ducks. Sick birds and fowl may show signs of conjunctivitis, diarrhea, loss of appetite and emaciation. The pathogen is spread through fecal contamination of food and air, and family members who keep birds are susceptible to infection. In humans, the disease is characterized by fever, headache, loss of appetite, sore throat, cough and chest pain, and bronchopneumonia on X-ray. Certain antimicrobials can treat the disease. How to stay away from pet diseases Although diseases caused by pets account for a small number of pet owners, they should be taken seriously. Here are some simple ways to help prevent pet-induced diseases. (1) Clean your pet’s resting place every day and disinfect it regularly. Wearing gloves can prevent contracting parasitic diseases. (2) Avoid kissing your pet with your nose or mouth, and don’t let your pet eat at the same table as you, or share utensils with your pet. (3) If your pets spend a lot of time outdoors, check them frequently for tick parasites. (4) Special attention needs to be paid when the bird you are keeping has a noticeable loss of appetite and dull feathers, as it is likely to be infected with psittacosis. You need to wear gloves or even a mask to clean the bird’s cage. (5) Get your pets vaccinated in time at the relevant authorities, especially for pets adopted home from the streets, make sure to go to the veterinary department for examination and vaccination first. (6) In addition to vaccination as required, your pets should be dewormed regularly at hospitals or epidemic prevention stations. puppies under one and a half years of age as well as one-year-old cats should be dewormed once a month, adult dogs once every six months and adult cats once a year. (7) Your pets should be examined for parasites once a year, and they should be given worming medication regularly. Don’t let your pets come into contact with your mouth, and be sure to wash your hands promptly when they have touched your pets. (8) Pet cats and dogs in addition to conventional deworming, but also non-conventional deworming, anytime you find that the pet feces have worms at any time to be dewormed. And pay special attention to the pet is sick to go to the veterinary hospital in time to avoid animal-borne diseases. (9) baby was bitten wounds should be treated promptly. Baby by the cat, dog scratch bite, wound treatment is very important, should be timely with soapy water to fully flush the wound, not less than half an hour, and then rinse with water, and finally apply tincture of iodine. Even if you are bitten by a healthy dog or cat and rabies does not occur, you should go to the hospital in time for debridement, application of effective antibiotics and injection of tetanus antitoxin. Babies bitten by vaccinated dogs and cats should still go to the hospital for the relevant injection. This is because vaccinated dogs and cats can still carry rabies bacteria.
