食肉菌速擴散男子右手險不保
 

食肉菌速擴散男子右手險不保

於夏季肆虐、常見於海水、俗稱食肉菌的創傷弧菌,衞生防護中心至今錄得十三宗感染個案。早前一名男子接觸活魚時右手被魚鰭刺傷,男子未有理會,豈料傷口極速擴散,翌日整條手臂肌肉潰爛,幸求醫及時,否則右手不保。有醫生提醒,受食肉菌感染的傷口可以短時間內擴散,呼籲市民若有傷口並感劇痛,應盡快求醫。

被魚刺傷口 翌日爛晒

右手險要截肢的風哥(化名),從事漁業,經常都接觸海鮮,他憶述事發當日把海產分門別類時,卻不慎被魚鰭刺傷,「只係蚊叮咁細嘅傷口,當時都無乜嘢。」風哥下班回家後,傷口開始紅腫刺痛,其後傷口更極速擴散成十厘米長的傷口,翌日整條右臂「爛晒」,「嘩!真係痛到呢!」風哥即時前往醫院急症室求醫,「好彩及時入得切急症室,醫生同我抽膿同埋割咗舊爛嘅肉,話如果遲幾個鐘,我成隻手就要截肢!」

急症科顧問醫生馮顯達指出,即使傷口細微,亦有機會受感染,「輕則發炎,如果唔及時處理,就會潰爛同擴散,之後就會入血、發高燒,甚至神志不清。」他續指,如出現上述情況,應及早求醫,方可有效控制病情。

家庭醫生關嘉美解釋,和暖海水有利創傷弧菌生存,故食肉菌於夏季尤其活躍。她又指,創傷弧菌潛伏期可長達七十二小時,嚴重情況下,可導致壞死性筋膜炎,甚至致命。她提醒長期病患者應多加提防,「例如肝病、糖尿病、高血壓嘅病人,免疫力比較低,更加應該小心。」

衞生署發言人指過去五年(截至今年八月下旬)共錄得七十宗感染個案,其中三十宗須截肢,十六宗死亡。發言人指出,市民前往街市時,應避免皮膚接觸污水,此外,進食受創傷弧菌污染的食物可引致腹瀉、嘔吐或肚痛等腸道感染的病徵。
