Everyone is familiar with calls to donate blood, sperm, stem cells, bone marrow and organs, but the opening of a new 'poo bank' in the Netherlands means it is now possible to donate your faeces.
献血、捐精、捐献干细胞、捐骨髓、器官捐赠……这些你可能都听说过,不过最近荷兰新开了一家“便便银行”,这意味着上面的各种捐赠中又要多一项:捐便。
The "poo bank", more formally referred to as the Dutch Donor Faeces Bank (NDFB), opened recently at the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC).
“便便银行”还有个更官方的名字——“荷兰粪便捐赠库”。这家银行近日在荷兰雷登大学医疗中心(LUMC)开业。
The faeces deposited at the NDFB is invaluable for those living with Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) — a bacterial infection which can affect the digestive system. In the Netherlands there are 3,000 reported C. difficile cases a year, usually occurring after using antibiotics to treat other illnesses.
对于梭状芽胞杆菌(一种影响消化系统的病菌)携带者来说,“便便银行”的存在非常重要。荷兰每年新增3000例这种病患,这种感染通常发生于使用了抗生素治疗其他疾病之后。
Although the infection often results in few symptoms, in approximately five per cent of patients it can recur as a regular infection. Symptoms for them include three to five bouts a day of usually foul-smelling, watery diarrhoea, sometimes blood-stained, accompanied by abdominal cramping and pain.
