撿螺貝割傷 老婦拒截肢 染菌喪命

記者劉禹慶/澎湖報導
澎湖常見的「蹴海」潮間帶撿拾螺貝副業,竟掩藏致命病菌危機!
一名住在湖湖馬公的73歲蔡姓婦人日前在鄰近海域撿拾螺貝,右小腳趾不慎被蚵殼刺傷,
旋即長出血水泡,雖緊急送醫接受治療,醫師研判受到海洋弧菌感染,但因她不願截肢,
隨後3日內宣告不治。
署立澎湖醫院表示,蔡姓老婦人週一晚間前往急診室求診,右小腳趾出現發黑、壞死現象
,院長李明杰立即判斷她的腳傷症狀是感染海洋弧菌所致,緊急安排她住進加護病房,並
要求患者接受截肢手術保命,但當時蔡婦意識清醒認為醫師小題大作,自己還能談笑風生
,且「皮膚很好」,不願截肢。
李明杰雖緊急為她進行清創手術,割開血水泡,流出的污水又黑又臭,並在加護病房接受
高劑量抗生素治療,但血水泡面積迅速擴大至右下肢,同時引發急性敗血症,旋即休克,
延至週三晚間不治死亡。
從蔡婦發病至死亡不到3天時間,符合海洋弧菌住院48小時內死亡的典型案例,因海洋弧
菌致死率高達55%至90%,李明杰籲請民眾應特別注意。
李明杰說,海洋弧菌的感染途徑分為「口食」及「傷口」感染,其中免疫力不好、慢性肝
炎、糖尿病、肝硬化、酒精性肝炎、腎衰竭與常吃類固醇等民眾是高危險群。澎湖蔡姓婦
人就是糖尿病患者,建議高危險群患者少吃生食,另外到海邊遊玩時,記得要先將傷口包
紮好,以減低感染海洋弧菌的機率,但因台灣個案不超過百例,因此常遭到誤診,延誤救
治時機。
