伤寒病,是由伤寒杆菌或副伤寒杆菌引起的急性肠道传染病,被带菌者粪便污染的水、食具、被褥和衣物等生活用品是伤寒传播的主要来源。伤寒大都发生于夏秋季节,我国南方地区夏季洪水泛滥后,由于水体大面积遭到污染,因而更易造成大面积流行。患了伤寒后,除了针对病因积极治疗和精心护理外,合理的饮食和营养对于增加病人的抵抗力,减轻症状和减少并发症等方面,具有极为重要的作用。 Typhoid fever is an acute intestinal infection caused by typhoid bacillus or paratyphoid bacilli. Water, food utensils, bedding and clothing, which are polluted by carriers, are the main source of typhoid transmission. Most of the typhoid fever occurs in summer and autumn. After summer flooding in the southern part of China, it is more likely to cause widespread epidemics due to the pollution of large areas of water bodies. After suffering from typhoid fever, in addition to the active treatment and careful nursing for the cause, reasonable diet and nutrition are extremely important for increasing patient’s resistance, alleviating symptoms and reducing complications.
