In the face of Liu Zhongming's confirmation, Chen Tianlin replied with a serious face: "Dean Liu, when I examined the child just now, I found that the child's hands and feet had maculopapular rashes and herpes, and there was a rash on the buttocks or knees, and there was inflammatory redness around the rash, but there was less fluid in the blisters, which was an obvious sign of the disease of the hand, mouth and feet, and the emergency plan must be immediately activated to isolate the emergency department to ensure that the epidemic will not spread further." ”

As the director of the People's Hospital, he was very aware of the seriousness of this matter, and replied with a solemn face: "Xiao Chen, you immediately notify the infectious disease department, immediately lock down the emergency department, disinfect every corner of the emergency department, and send someone to check on the remaining students to determine whether they are infected with the mouth and foot virus." ”

When Liu Zhongming said this, he immediately took out the eldest brother, and while pressing the number, he said: "I will call the city health department and Mayor Zhong now and report the epidemic to the city!"

Hearing the conversation between Chen Tianlin and Liu Zhongming, and seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the two, the child's relatives became stunned, and the middle-aged man who had arrogantly said that he wanted to clean up Chen Tianlin asked with a look of disbelief: "That doctor! What kind of disease is the hand, foot and mouth disease you just mentioned, and is that disease contagious?"

In the face of the middle-aged people's inquiry, in order to let the families of these patients cooperate with them, Chen Tianlin nodded very affirmatively and replied: "Hand and mouth disease is very contagious, the transmission route is very complex, the epidemic intensity is large, the spread is fast, it can cause a pandemic in a short time, the most vulnerable people are newborn children and young children, and it may also cause more than one family, or all children and adults may be infected with the disease, the most important thing is that so far, there is no special vaccine, and there is no material antiviral drugs." ”

"I've touched my nephew's body before, so I can't be infected with this disease too, right?" The middle-aged man heard Chen Tianlin's introduction, thinking that when he saw his nephew's body before, he had touched the corpse, which made him feel flustered, and hurriedly asked Chen Tianlin, who was about to make a call.

Chen Tianlin, who was holding a mobile phone in his hand, heard the middle-aged man's answer, and replied with a stern face: "The main infection targets of oral and hand-foot disease are infants and young children, and adults also have a certain chance of infection. ”

"I don't want to stay in this hellish place, I want to go home!" A middle-aged woman heard Chen Tianlin's words, and she was afraid of the virus, so she hurriedly shouted loudly in panic.

Chen Tianlin saw that most of these people present were ready to leave, he knew that just these people in the emergency department could not stop these people from leaving, he looked at these people in front of him, and said with a stern face: "If you want to harm your relatives, then you can leave." ”

Although these people present were very afraid of being infected, when they heard Chen Tianlin's words and thought of their relatives at home, they finally had to give up the idea of leaving and chose to stay in the emergency department.

"Xiao Chen, Mayor Zhong asked you to answer the phone!" When Chen Tianlin successfully persuaded everyone, Liu Zhongming walked up to Chen Tianlin with his big brother and said with a solemn face.

"Dean Liu, you should immediately notify the Center for Disease Control and Epidemic Prevention and immediately send someone to the isolation emergency department to examine all the children and determine the number of infected people. When Chen Tianlin heard Liu Zhongming's words, he took over the eldest brother from Liu Zhongming's hands, and after not forgetting to say a few words to Liu Zhongming, he said politely: "Mayor Zhong!

"Professor Chen! I heard Liu Zhongming say that among the students who were sent to the hospital for treatment because of food poisoning in the morning, it was found that one student was infected with hand and mouth disease and died.

When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Mayor Zhong! This is a very true thing, hand-and-mouth disease is a kind of exanthematous infectious disease, mainly caused by coxsackievirus, the virus is parasitic in the pharynx, saliva, herpes and feces of the affected children, and can not only be transmitted to other children through saliva, sneezing, coughing, and droplets when speaking, but also indirectly through hands, daily necessities, and tableware. ”

"Although only about 100 students from the elementary school were sent to the hospital for treatment of food poisoning in the morning, I am concerned that other students in the school may have contracted the disease, and the city must take measures to stop the virus from spreading further. ”

Zhong Huiming did not know much about the specific situation of hand and mouth disease, and it was not until he heard Chen Tianlin's introduction that he realized how terrible this infectious disease was. ”

The whole course of this infectious disease is about a week, and the infected children will have chickenpox-like vesicles on the skin of the hands, feet or oral mucosa, and most of the children will have a sudden onset, first manifested as a high fever, with a body temperature of more than 38 degrees, accompanied by headache, cough, runny nose and other symptoms, and the body temperature will not go away, the higher the body temperature, the longer the course of the disease, and the more serious the condition. When Chen Tianlin heard Zhong Huiming's words, he did not forget to introduce the situation after the onset of hand and mouth disease to Zhong Huiming.

Soon the Jiangcheng government immediately activated the emergency plan and took isolation measures for the emergency department of Jiangcheng People's Hospital, the primary school affiliated to Jiangcheng, and the emergency department of Jiangcheng Second Hospital.

When the Jiangcheng government launched an emergency epidemic prevention plan and took isolation measures for the emergency department of Jiangcheng People's Hospital, the primary school affiliated to Jiangcheng, and the emergency department of Jiangcheng Second Hospital, various rumors spread in Jiangcheng, causing the entire Jiangcheng to become panicked.

In order to avoid panic among the citizens of Jiangcheng, the Jiangcheng City Government held a press conference as soon as possible to inform the residents of the hand-to-foot epidemic, and at the same time used the press conference to transmit the methods of preventing the hand-to-foot epidemic to the citizens, and finally successfully broke the rumors.

The 13 students were soon sent to the isolation ward of Jiangcheng People's Hospital for treatment.
