The most common Aspergillus in pillows is most likely to cause disease. Aspergillus is a major contributor to death in patients with leukemia and bone marrow transplants. And for adults with asthma, the fungus can also make their condition worse. Researchers have studied the materials in the pillows and found that the pillows used in the people contain a lot of fungi. There are thousands of fungal spores per gram of pillow material, and each pillow contains more than 1 million fungal spores. .
The researchers found a large number of fungal spores in each pillow, and the spores in each sample were divided into 4 to 16 different species. Especially in chemical fiber pillows, the researchers found more fungi. Under the microscope, the fungi in the chemical fiber pillows are particularly noticeable. These different kinds of fungi are usually found in wet walls or showers.
Aspergillus
Aspergillus is a very common fungus that travels with the air and is often found in cellars, family pots, fertilizers, computers, etc. Aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus mainly occurs in the lungs and sinus, but it may also spread to other organs such as the brain, and it is more and more common in other patients.
Patients with reduced immune function, such as patients undergoing transplant surgery, AIDS patients and patients receiving steroid therapy, are also infected with this life-threatening Aspergillus pneumonia and sinusitis. Fortunately, the pillows in European national hospitals are wrapped in plastic film, so it is impossible to have an infection in the hospital. However, after the patient is discharged from the hospital, the pillows at home may be old and infected with fungi, so the patient is infected. Danger.
Aspergillus can also cause asthma to worsen, especially in adult patients with asthma for many years, and can cause allergic sinusitis in patients with allergic reactions. Frequent exposure to fungi in bed can cause problems for yourself. Fungi can enter the lungs caused by tuberculosis, causing your body to decline and lung bleeding. It also triggers a range of animal and plant diseases.
Some experts said: "The new findings are potentially important to people: it is especially important for people with allergic diseases and immune systems in the lungs, especially those who are discharged home."
Some experts added: "Since one-third of the patients spend their time in sleep and their respiratory system is in close contact with pillows that breed a lot of fungi, these findings are important for patients with respiratory diseases. Especially for asthma patients and patients with sinusitis."
