Blood diseases are a category of diseases involving blood and blood-forming tissues, including leukaemia, lymphoma, regenerative obstructive anaemia and bone marrow amplification abnormalities. Blood patients suffer from the disease itself or as a result of treatment (e.g. chemotherapy, decomposition) leading to the impairment of the immune system, reduced resistance and increased vulnerability to various pathogens. The following are some aspects of preventing infection among people with blood-borne diseases:1. Personal hygieneBasic hygiene practicesHand-washing: Full washing of hands with soap and water, especially before eating, like in the toilet, after touching public goods.Oral hygiene: use of soft-haired toothbrushes, regular use of mouthwashing, maintenance of mouth cleaning and prevention of oral infections.Skin care: Keep the skin clean and dry and avoid the use of irritated skins to prevent skin infections.Avoid crowd-intensive locationsReduce access to public places such as supermarkets, cinemas, buses, etc. to reduce the risk of exposure to pathogens.2. Dietary safetyFood hygiene.Select fresh, clean food to avoid eating raw or uncooked foods such as raw meat, raw fish, raw eggs, etc.Food should be thoroughly cleaned and cooked to kill bacteria and parasites that may exist.A balanced dietA balanced diet with sufficient proteins, vitamins and minerals to enhance immunity.Nutritionians can be consulted to develop diets suitable for people with blood problems.3. SanitationRegular clean living conditionsFamily floors, desktops, bathrooms, etc. are regularly cleaned and disinfected with chlorine-containing disinfectants.Maintain indoor air flow and reduce the growth of bacteria and viruses.pet managementAvoid exposure to pets and their excreta, as they may carry pathogens.4. VaccinationVaccinationVaccination against influenza, pneumocococcal, etc., is carried out on the advice of doctors to prevent related infections.It is noted that certain blood patients may not be fit for certain vaccinations and need to consult a doctor.5. Drug preventionUse of preventive antibioticsDoctors may prescribe prophylactic antibiotics, especially during the reduction of neutral particles, to prevent bacterial infections.Avoiding unnecessary drugsAvoid the use of unnecessary drugs, especially those that may inhibit the immune system.6. Medical carePeriodic inspectionBlood tests are carried out on a regular basis to monitor indicators such as white cells, slabs, etc. and to detect signs of infection in a timely manner.Professional careAccess to specialized medical care, such as the maintenance of a central intravenous tube (CVC), to avoid infection associated with the tube.7. Lifestyle adjustmentAvoiding smoking and drinkingSmoking and alcohol use undermine the immune system and increase the risk of infection.Moderate exerciseModerate sports can improve health and immunity, but overwork should be avoided.8. Psychological supportReduce pressureExcessive stress can affect the immune system and reduce stress through meditation, deep breath, etc.Social supportJoining the group of friends and friends with emotional support and experience sharing.9. Knowledge educationKnowledge of diseases and treatmentTo understand their own disease and the risk of infection that can be associated with treatment, and to learn how to identify early signs of infection.Health educationParticipation in health education activities organized by hospitals to improve self-management capacity.ConclusionsPreventing infection among blood patients is a long-term and arduous task that requires the concerted efforts of patients, families and medical teams. These measures can reduce the risk of infection to a certain extent and improve the quality of life of patients. It is important that patients always maintain close communication with doctors, follow medical instructions and report in a timely manner any possible signs of infection so that they can receive timely and effective treatment.
