Morfinist septicemia

Mophonist septicemia is an outdated name for a specific infectious disease that is provoked by a certain type of staphylococcus: Staphylococcus aureus on tall rods or staphylococci - saprophytes, from which the microbe appears due to the ingestion of strong alkaloid drugs of the morphine group. The source of infection is staphyloderma, if we consider the morphological principle of classification as a basis.

The causative agents of septicemia, staphylococci, are divided into saprophytes, which have streptotoxins, causing sap in the skin and onysis, and zooultropathogenic staphylococcus, which produces pyoderma with carbuncles, manifested by impetigo. Often observed in animal owners. Infection occurs through a cat scratch or through contact with other sick animals and contaminated surfaces. It can also be transmitted from person to person (as a result of microtrauma during drug injection). The incubation period ranges from four to six days. In a child, the disease can be provoked by the deliberate administration of suspensions or tablets of other medications to the child. In this case, the number of rashes usually increases, the lesion grows, the condition worsens, and then the child is usually admitted to the hospital.
