Pigbel is the commonest cause of death in children over 12 months of age at Goroka Hospital. The clinical features are described. The medical management of pigbel includes intravenous fluids, nasogastric suction, penicillin and chloramphenicol. The development of dehydration, anaemia, hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia and hypoalbuminaemia must be prevented. In severe pigbel prolonged starvation may result in malnutrition that impairs wound healing and increases mortality. Intravenous feeding is therefore desirable in some cases.
猪瘟是戈罗卡医院12个月以上儿童最常见的死亡原因。文中描述了其临床特征。猪瘟的药物治疗包括静脉输液、鼻胃管抽吸、青霉素和氯霉素。必须预防脱水、贫血、低钠血症、低钾血症和低白蛋白血症的发生。在严重的猪瘟病例中,长期饥饿可能导致营养不良,从而影响伤口愈合并增加死亡率。因此,在某些情况下需要进行静脉喂养。
