Symptoms Of Staph

These are some symptoms of staph

        The preferential site of colonization of staphylococcus aureus in humans is the nasal mucosa. Indeed, 30 % of adults harbor staphylococcus aureus permanently, 50% occasionally and 20% are never carriers. From the port sites, staphylococcus aureus colonizes the skin in particular areas, wetlands (axillae, perineum) and hands.
The coagulase negative staph are the main commensals of the skin with corynebacteria . The density of colonization is more important in terms of wetlands as the front of your nose, perineum, axillae and inguinal folds. They can also be isolated from mucous membranes. Staph epidermidis is the species most frequently isolated. Thus, Staph epidermidis can contaminate surface samples or samples obtained by transcutaneous puncture like blood.

        Staphylococcus aureus secretes numerous toxins, however, very few are responsible for specific pathologies. These toxins act at a distance from the infected site and have a common biological activity, the activity superantigens.
This has resulted in a massive release of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha and beta ), the sensitization of monocytes to endotoxin and injuries of endothelium explaining the occurrence of hypotension and shock staph ( fever, hypotension, hemorrhage).
The characteristic symptoms of "Staphylococcal intoxication" or staphylococcal enterotoxin poisoning is the vomiting, but may register chills, increase heat slightly and diarrhea.

Other Staph symptoms are:

1. Gastrointestinal tract: vomiting, nausea or diarrhea
2. Muscle: marked muscle pain (myalgia) with increase of serum creatinine phosphokinase
3. Mucosal blood plethora (hyperemia) in the area of mouth and throat area (oropharyngeal) or conjunctiva (conjunctival)
4. Kidney: increase of urea and creatinine in serum, elevated urine Leukocyte (Pyurie) without evidence of urinary tract infection
5. Liver: increase of transaminases, bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase
6. Central nervous system: disoriented, consciousness disturbance

        Since these toxins easily survive the intense heat, they are not killed during cooking. As early as two to six hours after the intake of such foods, it can suddenly feel nausea, vomiting, cramp-like abdominal pain and diarrhea. In most cases, the disease stops after about eight to 24 hours by itself. In severe cases can occur low blood pressure (hypotension).
