The punishment results of the “Lanzhou brucellosis incident” in 2019 announced and related aftermath work was carried out in batch

　　The “Lanzhou brucellosis incident” in 2019 has recently made the latest progress.

According to the website of the Lanzhou Municipal Health Commission, as of now, 3,254 people have been positive for Brucella antibodies in Lanzhou. For the affected people, the disease control departments and authoritative experts of Gansu and Lanzhou have already visited the Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute where the incident occurred. And the surrounding communities carry out on-site special publicity and education lectures, set up consultation points, and conduct one-to-one policy consultation and answer questions.

In the future, the Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Plant of China Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. involved will be urged to implement the compensation funds on time and in full. Related work will be carried out in batches in October.

　　According to the findings of the investigation team, from July 24 to August 20, 2019, the Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Factory used expired disinfectants during the production of brucella vaccines for veterinary use. The waste gas from the fermentation broth was blown to the Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute and nearby communities in the downwind direction of the pharmaceutical factory, causing some local residents and students to develop antibody positives after contact.

Subsequently, the approval number of several veterinary drug products of Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Factory was revoked, and 8 relevant persons responsible were dealt with, and they expressed that they would actively do a good job in the aftermath disposal and compensation work.

　　More than a year after the incident, some local residents who were affected told reporters that they hope the factory involved can give them an explanation.

　　Reporter Ren Mengyan from Central Broadcasting Corporation reported that Ms. Wang’s home was one kilometer away from the Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Factory where the incident occurred. She told reporters that out of their family of five, their 3-year-old son and husband were tested positive for antibodies, although none has been tested so far. Symptoms, but she is still worried about whether the child will have sequelae.

Ms. Wang:

What I want to know now is whether positive antibodies are harmful to the body?

Because I think it’s okay for an adult to have a very clear description of his own body, but our child is only three years old. What would a three-year-old kid say?

　　The clinical symptoms of brucellosis are mainly fever, hyperhidrosis, joint pain and fatigue. Ms. Wang’s husband has no obvious symptoms yet, but as long as she has first-rate sweating and fever, she is always worried about whether it appears Symptoms?

　　He doesn't have any joint pain or fever, but he sweats a lot. Then I asked him, when did the sweating start?

He said that he has always been there, but now he is like the weather of more than 20 degrees, he will sweat when he walks on the road.

But I think he has worsening symptoms, what should I do?

Will he miss the treatment period?

　　Mr. Xu, who works near the Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Factory, told reporters that after he was diagnosed, he had already developed clinical symptoms, but he did not know what kind of treatment policy Lanzhou had. He felt that the Inner Mongolia Hospital had more cases of brucellosis, so he chose to go to Pakistan. Yannur treatment.

Mr. Xu: The

main

are joint pain, night sweats, and more sleep. The cost of treatment has not been mentioned up to now. Then we found out that it was a plus sign of 1:100, and then I went to Inner Mongolia for treatment alone. I can't afford to wait here. I went to Inner Mongolia to do my own treatment. What I checked was the three plus signs of 1:100, but it rose instead of falling.

　　Mr. Wang, who also works nearby, also said that he now feels a little weak in his body and hopes that there will be no sequelae.

Mr. Wang:

I hope that the disease will get better in the future, and it will have no effect on all aspects of my future life.

　　On the 16th, the Lanzhou Municipal Health Commission specifically responded to the questions of the affected people on the official website, emphasizing that there is a difference between brucellosis antibody positive and brucellosis. The former is that bacteria enter the body to trigger a humoral immune response. Antibodies in serum usually reach a peak in 3-6 months. Antibodies are difficult to detect after 6 months. There are no clinical symptoms and no treatment is required.

　　Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella invading the body and requires standardized clinical treatment.

Usually, sheep, cattle, and pigs are the source of infection, and it does not spread from person to person.

　　In response to the concerns of the masses, Li Tong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You'an Hospital, once introduced that because the clinical symptoms of brucellosis are not significant and other diseases often cause such symptoms, a professional team is required to screen Brucellosis is not uncommon in our country, and there are mature treatment options. As long as symptoms are treated in time, it will not have a serious impact.

Li Tong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You'an Hospital:

He should be about half a year, and the antibody level will drop very low. If it does not decrease, or even tends to increase, it means that there may be bacteria. It is replicated in his body and may need treatment.

So we say that the review after half a year is more critical.

Formal treatment means that it is a bacterial infection and antibiotics are used. It does have side effects, but that is to say, if it is under the guidance of a doctor, it should be no problem, because we actually have the number of brucellosis cases each year. There are also many. The treatments we have are already very standardized and mature.

For example, if he has liver damage with rifampicin, then we will monitor the liver function, and if there is a problem, we will replace him with other drugs in time, no problem.

　　Regarding the sequelae of brucellosis that some people are worried about, Li Tong once told reporters that this is all because of the immature medical technology in the early years, and many patients did not have time for treatment. As long as they are treated in time, there will be no serious sequelae.

Li Tong, deputy chief physician of the Department of

Infectious Diseases,

so-called lazy man's disease, the sequelae are all because the treatment is too late.

In the past, he did not know enough about the disease in some places, and the disease mainly became chronic, and there was no specificity. We talked about fatigue and joint pain, because many people may become older when they are older. These are indeed arthritis or something, and he has these problems.

Many were misdiagnosed or missed, and then waited until the joint damage had occurred, and then treated again. Brucella was removed from the body after treatment, but it is difficult to recover the necrotic joints. Called sequelae.

Everyone can find out in time for an incident like this time. Before such a serious complication occurs, we will give him antibiotic treatment. It should be curable and it will not develop to that degree.
