別再咬指甲了! 28歲男子咬出了敗血症!大綱

Luke Hanoman, 28, started feeling unwell shortly after biting the skin on the side of his nail.

28歲的盧克·漢諾曼在咬了指甲一側的皮膚後，很快就感覺不舒服了。

For a week he had flu-like symptoms while the infection was spreading through his blood.

他持續一週都有流感症狀，與此同時感染通過他的血液蔓延了。

Hanoman, from Birkdale, was eventually rushed to the hospital where he spent four days under 24-hour observation and was told he was "lucky to be alive" by doctors.

來自伯克代爾的漢諾曼最終被緊急送往醫院，他在那裏呆了4天，接受24小時的觀察，醫生告知他“能活下來真的很幸運”。

Sepsis occurs as a result of an infection in the body. The body's immune system goes into overdrive and begins to attack itself, causing healthy tissue and organs to shut down.

敗血症是由身體感染引起的。身體的免疫系統超負荷運轉，開始讓身體自我攻擊，導致健康的組織和器官停止運作。

"It was quite scary," Hanoman said. "They told me I was lucky to make it so long. I was close to septic shock."

漢諾曼說：“太可怕了。他們告訴我，我能撐這麼久真是太幸運了。我差點就得敗血性休克了。”

"The doctors and nurses were really good. They didn't tell me how bad it was because I think they were trying not to worry me too much. When I was feeling better they told me I was lucky to be alive."

“醫生和護士真是太好了。他們沒有告訴我情況有多糟糕，我覺得他們是想盡量不讓我太擔心。當我感覺好一些的時候，他們告訴我，我能活下來很幸運。”

Each year there are around 123,000 cases of sepsis in England. According to the NHS, around 37,000 people die every year as a result of the condition.

英國每年有大約12.3萬例敗血症病例。根據英國國家醫療服務體系的數據，每年有大約3.7萬人死於這種疾病。

Symptoms of the condition include feeling lethargic, having a high temperature, and fast breathing. They also include dizziness, diarrhea and mottled, blush or pale skin.

敗血症症狀包括感覺昏昏欲睡，高燒，呼吸急促。此外還包括頭暈、腹瀉，皮膚上有瘀點、紅點，面色蒼白。
