Intestinal swab in the smear: treatment and consequences

Strangely enough, but the E. coli can not always cause harm to the body. She is a representative of the conditionally pathogenic human flora, and necessarily takes part in the digestion process. Thus, it is impossible to say that this microorganism is an exceptional evil. Without it, we simply can not function properly, we will not be healthy. But what happens in the human body, for example, when an E. coli is detected in a smear?

In fact, this is a very bad sign. After all, according to experts, there are two types of this microorganism. This is Citrobacter and E. coli. The wand was discovered by T. Esherich in the late nineteenth century. And if the first type of bacteria, being in the human body, does not cause any diseases, then the second one can bring a lot of troubles. So, if, for example, an E. coli is found in a smear in a pregnant woman, then there is a serious danger of infecting the fetus in the womb. In general, the presence of this microorganism can lead to a very serious form of cystitis, and will be treated long and painfully.

That is why, if you have these microorganisms detected in the smear, emergency measures should be taken immediately. As a rule, such patients are prescribed antibiotics. But, as it was already said, if an E. coli is found in a smear in a pregnant woman, then with antibiotics one must be very spicy. Although, according to some doctors, two of the ills should be chosen less, and for quite a long time pregnant women are sometimes prescribed these strong medicines to fight the detected scourge.

But, in the event that not to carry out treatment, it is quite possible that an E. coli will be found in the baby. If this happens, then it is necessary that the treatment be given simultaneously to both the mother and the baby. The fact is that E. coli in the baby can lead to dysbiosis and diarrhea. Treatment should be appointed only by a specialist, no self-medication is allowed. As a rule, children are prescribed the drug "Hilak forte" and bacteriophage. And, the first must be given between feedings, because it is forbidden to take it with milk. And in order to correctly choose a bacteriophage, it is necessary to make a special analysis for the sensitivity to phages. After all, in fact, there are a lot of them. But all this should appoint a doctor.

When an E. coli is detected in a smear, antibiotics are usually prescribed. But it is necessary to know that long-term use of these drugs violates the bacterial balance in the human body. Intestinal bacillus, of course, perishes, and then the dysbacteriosis of the intestine begins to develop . Also in women, dysbacteriosis of the vagina is quite common. In this case, not only chlamydia, but also other pathogens, including those described, can be found in the flora of the female body. And this happens most often due to a sharp decrease in beneficial bacteria, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.

How can an adult get an E. coli? As a rule, it is an oral-fecal method or sexual intercourse through the anus. But there are also cases when such a rod entered the human body through the blood. The consequences of infection with this microorganism are quite serious. Usually it infects the organs located next to the intestines: the uterus, the urethra, the vagina, the gall bladder and so on. But in small children this bacterium is found even in the lungs. In the event that the whole organism is completely infected, sepsis may begin. And the consequences can be unpredictable. So, if you have an E. coli in the smear, then, without delay, immediately contact the specialists and begin treatment. And to reveal this bacterium it is possible only by research of a smear.
