真菌、細菌 - 多學科復康 | Fungi, Bacteria (MRP)

真菌

真菌無處不在。有時,它們太小,肉眼看不見。真菌可以生活在室外的土壤和植物上;室內的表面和空氣中;人的皮膚和身體內部。真菌種類有數百萬種,但只有幾百種能使人生病。

輕微的真菌性皮膚感染看起來像皮疹,非常常見。例如,癬是由真菌而不是蠕蟲引起的皮膚感染!肺部真菌感染可能更嚴重,通常會引起與其他疾病類似的症狀,如細菌性肺炎或肺結核。真菌性腦膜炎和血液感染比皮膚和肺部感染少見,但可能危及生命。

由於真菌感染的症狀可能與其他疾病的症狀相似,囙此正確的診斷和治療往往被延后。你對真菌感染瞭解得越多,得真菌感染的幾率就越大,你就能更好地保護自己的健康。

細菌

細菌是只有一個細胞的生物。在顯微鏡下,它們看起來像球、棒或螺旋。它們很小,一個鉛筆橡皮擦上可以放1000行。大多數細菌不會傷害你——只有不到1%的不同類型的細菌會讓人生病。很多是有用的。一些細菌幫助消化食物,破壞致病細胞,並提供身體所需的維他命。細菌也被用於製造健康食品,如乳酪和芝士。

但是感染性細菌會讓你生病。它們在你體內繁殖很快。很多人會釋放出一種叫做毒素的化學物質,這種物質會損傷組織並使你生病。引起感染的細菌包括鏈球菌、葡萄球菌和大腸桿菌。

抗生素是常用的治療方法。當你服用抗生素時,請仔細遵循說明書。每次你服用抗生素,你就新增了你體內的細菌學會抵抗抗生素的機會。後來,你可能會感染或傳播那些抗生素無法治癒的感染。

如你有任何疾病, 請遵照閣下醫生的完整醫療方案; 而是否使用多學科復康方案前, 你必須咨詢主診醫生的意見, 如果閣下的主診醫生不建議您加入補充劑調理組合, 請你不要使用。如果你需要尋求其他醫生作第二咨詢, 閣下可聯絡我們線上<無邊界醫生>或你自己城市內的其他專業醫生的再診斷。


Fungi

Fungi are everywhere. Sometimes, they are too small to see with the naked eye. Fungi can live outdoors in soil and on plants; indoors on surfaces and in the air; and on people’s skin and inside the body. There are millions of fungal species, but only a few hundred of them can make people sick.

Mild fungal skin infections can look like a rash and are very common. For example, ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus - not a worm! Fungal infections in the lungs can be more serious and often cause symptoms that are similar to other illnesses, such as bacterial pneumonia or tuberculosis. Fungal meningitis and bloodstream infections are less common than skin and lung infections but can be life-threatening.

Because the symptoms of fungal infections can be similar to those of other illnesses, proper diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. The more you know about fungal infections and your chances of getting one, the better you can protect your health.

Bacteria

Bacteria are living things that have only one cell. Under a microscope, they look like balls, rods, or spirals. They are so small that a line of 1,000 could fit across a pencil eraser. Most bacteria won't hurt you - less than 1 percent of the different types make people sick. Many are helpful. Some bacteria help to digest food, destroy disease-causing cells, and give the body needed vitamins. Bacteria are also used in making healthy foods like yogurt and cheese.

But infectious bacteria can make you ill. They reproduce quickly in your body. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli.

Antibiotics are the usual treatment. When you take antibiotics, follow the directions carefully. Each time you take antibiotics, you increase the chances that bacteria in your body will learn to resist them causing antibiotic resistance. Later, you could get or spread an infection that those antibiotics cannot cure.
