Ornithinosis is defined as an infectious disease that affects many birds such as parrots, macao, cocatellies, parakeets, pigeons, sparrows, ducks, chickens, seagulls, etc. In general, birds, especially psittacine, birds. It can also move to other mammals. Ornithinosis is also known as Psittacosis, Psittacosis and Psittacosis. It is recognized as a zoonotic infection produced by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci.
This disease is particularly evident in the world of holes for people related to occupational exposure to birds such as poultry breeding, which are transmitted to humans by birds. Ornithinosis of this infectious disease is characterized by pneumonia and systemic symptoms (throughout the body). It may apply to infections of birds other than birds, including parrots, macao, and parakeets.
Cause
Ornithinosis is an infectious disease caused by Chlamydia, which can spread from birds and animals to humans. The bacterial Chlamydia psittaci is released into milk of tears, feces, beaks and throat mucus and crops. Occasionally, infections may appear due to direct or intimate interactions with contaminated secretions or body tissues, like laboratory staff working with birds. Transmission from person to person rarely happens, but in general it leads to serious nasal bleeding.
Bird infected birds become pathogens and emit pathogens. Birds suffer from dusts that have pathogens, ingest contaminated feed and water, or charge and feed young people, and get sick.
Infection may move to the upper respiratory tract. Nasal catarrs appear, milky white liquids are extracted from the nostrils, which may dry up and occlude. Inflammation causes itching and pain, pigeons try to scar.
Symptom
The incubation period of humans is 5 to 14 days, and there are symptoms leading to systemic diseases accompanied by severe pneumonia from disease. Human symptoms include rash, mild fever, headache and general pneumonia. However, symptoms such as anorexia, facial features, nose and vomiting, and diarrhea are seen in birds.
Ornithine disease occurs in two ways:
- Acute ornithinism may occur in young pigeons from wheezing noise, mucous-aqueous enterocolitis with unilateral or bilateral conjunctivitis and diarrhea.
- Chronic ornithinism is more common in adult birds, but little or no symptoms of infection are observed.
- Muscle pain
- Heat
- Chills
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Cough (dry)
- Disordered breathing
- Blood sputs
In some complex situations, encephalitis, endocarditis, hepatitis, myocarditis, arthritis and dry conjunctivitis occasionally can occur.
treatment
The antibiotic tetracycline is often recommended to treat avian birds in both humans and birds.
If the patient can not tolerate tetracycline, penicillin G procaine or chloramphenicol is recommended as an alternative.
Chlortetracyclin has also been in use for many years, as it is one of the excellent medicines for treating ornithine.
There are many drugs on the market to alleviate avian rhinitis. These drugs are often used to treat birds with antibiotics such as doxycycline, erythromycin, azithromycin.
