Vishal Jha/Ghaziabad :- To cope with the scorching heat, you often feel like cooling down and eating something good. In such a situation, sometimes some diseases can enter your body due to outside food, which can be fatal. One such disease is leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection. This disease is capable of infecting both humans and animals. Its root cause is bacteria of the Leptospira genus.
This disease can cause death
Many types of symptoms of Leptospira are seen in humans. The special thing is that the symptoms of this disease are also similar to some other diseases. Therefore it becomes a little difficult to catch it. Many times, not a single symptom is seen in patients. Leptospirosis is not a minor disease and if it is not treated timely, it can cause kidney damage, liver failure, respiratory problems. Even death may occur. Special information on this has been given by Dr. Neha Gupta, Head of Medicine Department of Santosh Hospital.
need for monitoring by doctors
Dr. Neha tells that this is a type of tropical fever, which also includes dengue, typhoid, malaria. But it is not like normal diseases, rather it is a quite different disease. This requires monitoring by doctors, because this disease can even lead to death. Therefore, if people become aware about this, then the troubled person can be treated in time. Its treatment is quite simple. We both admit such patients and also leave them in day care.
This disease is a zoonotic infection. Zoonotic infection is all those diseases which come from an animal to humans. The most common among these animals is rat. In fact, whenever the organisms of these animals enter our body, this disease occurs. Its sources are generally infected water and infected food.
Drinking water on the roadside is dangerous
When we go out in summer, we feel thirsty. The water we are consuming can also be contaminated. We should avoid drinking water at street sites, because we do not know from where the water is being collected and for how many days it is being collected. It is also possible that a rat nearby may have adulterated the water and if we drink that water, then the disease may spread to us.
