Chapter 386 Mutated Bunya Virus
When Chen Tianlin heard Dr. Liu's introduction, his first thought was that these patients must have been infected with some kind of contagious virus, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction of the emergency department.
When Chen Tianlin came to the emergency department, Liu Zhongming had already rushed to the emergency department first, and when Liu Zhongming saw Chen Tianlin, who rushed to hear the news, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiao Chen! I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to hear the news first and rush over by yourself." ”
When Chen Tianlin heard Liu Zhongming's words, he immediately opened his mouth and asked Liu Zhongming: "Dean Liu, what is the specific situation, what virus is the patient infected with, and has it been detected?"
"We haven't found out exactly what type of virus the patient is infected, but according to the information we received from the patient, when the patient's father was cleaning up the mud in the pond at home, there was a lot of grass on the side of the pond, and when he left the pond, he seemed to have been bitten by something. ”
"At first, the patient's father didn't care, but the next day he became ill, because the patient's father lived in the countryside, and the patient's mother thought that the patient had eaten something unclean, so she didn't pay much attention to it, so she took some medicine from the village clinic. ”
"After the patient's father took the medicine, his condition did not improve, but he still had symptoms of heavy bleeding, and the patient's mother followed closely and began to get sick, and finally the patient and his wife were taken from the countryside to the city for treatment. ”
"According to our preliminary information, in addition to this family of four, one of our nurses in the TCM department was infected with the virus because of contact with two elderly people, and in order to control the spread of the virus, I have just reported to the municipal health and epidemic prevention department. When Liu Zhongming heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, he gave Chen Tianlin an introduction to what he knew so far.
Chen Tianlin heard Liu Zhongming's introduction of the situation, and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, although there are only five people at present, because of contact with two elderly people and the virus was transmitted, but Chen Tianlin is completely sure that these five people have definitely not only come into contact with two old people, plus the people who have been in contact with these five patients, if it is not handled well, there may be another major infection similar to SARS.
Realizing this, Chen Tianlin said to Liu Zhongming with a stern face: "Dean Liu! For today's plan, the first thing is to determine what virus the patient is infected with, and at the same time control the scope of the virus. ”
Chen Tianlin put on protective clothing and walked into the isolation room of the emergency department, saw the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed, saw Chen Tianlin walking into the isolation room, and pleaded with Chen Tianlin excitedly and weakly: "Doctor, please, save my wife and daughter, please save them!"
Seeing the pleading expression on the patient's face, Chen Tianlin comforted the middle-aged patient with a sympathetic expression: "This big brother! You can rest assured! Our hospital will definitely do its best to cure your family of four." ”
"Master, it was detected that the virus in the patient's body belongs to the bunyavirus!" Just when Chen Tianlin was in danger of the middle-aged man, his brain suddenly received information transmitted by the medical auxiliary system.
Chen Tianlin received the information transmitted by the medical auxiliary system, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked the medical auxiliary system: "System! The bunyavirus is mainly transmitted through ticks, and the mortality rate is very low, and there has never been a case of human-to-human infection, why do these patients be infected with this virus after coming into contact with infected people?"
This is a mutated bunyavirus, which can also be called a new type of bunyavirus, which is mainly infectious cases with fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. ”
"Direct contact with the blood or bloody secretions of a sick person can lead to infection, and viral azoles can be used to treat human diseases that can cause influenza or dengue fever, haemorrhagic fever and encephalitis. "The medical auxiliary system received the information from Chen Tianlin and immediately transmitted the information related to this virus to Chen Tianlin.
In order to avoid the lesions of the virus that lead to organ failure in the patient's body, Chen Tianlin took the opportunity of the examination to extract part of the virus from the patient's body, and then walked out of the isolation ward.
As soon as Chen Tianlin walked out of the isolation room, Liu Zhongming and some doctors from the infectious disease department immediately stepped forward, Liu Zhongming held the examination report in his hand, and said to Chen Tianlin with a puzzled expression: "Xiao Chen! The results of the patient's blood sample have come out, and the patient has obtained the bunyavirus, but according to the medical information we have so far, there has never been a case of bunyavirus infecting humans......
"This is a mutated bunyavirus, if my judgment is correct, it should be transmitted through the patient's blood or bloody secretions, mainly with fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia clinical manifestations, it is recommended to treat with virazole. Chen Tianlin didn't wait for Liu Zhongming to finish speaking, and immediately told Liu Zhongming about his test results.
Although Liu Zhongming did not know how Chen Tianlin concluded that the virus was transmitted through blood and bloody secretions, Liu Zhongming still hoped that Chen Tianlin's judgment was true, because in this way they could effectively control the spread of the virus and not worry about the city being held responsible.
Although the bunyavirus has mutated, but this is not a major disease for the people's hospital, at present, for Chen Tianlin, as long as a part of the bunyavirus in the patient's body is removed, the patient's condition can be stabilized, thinking that he still has a lot of things to do, Chen Tianlin opened his mouth and asked Liu Zhongming: "President Liu! Are the other three patients in the intensive care unit? I need to see these three patients before I can finally confirm my diagnosis." ”
When Dean Liu heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, he nodded subconsciously and replied, "Xiao Chen! A nurse from our hospital, as well as the wife and daughter of the patient in the isolation room, are all on the side of the intensive care unit! ”
"Dean Liu! What happened? Has the virus been determined? Is the situation serious?" Just as Liu Zhongming was about to accompany Chen Tianlin to the intensive care unit, more than a dozen cadres from the health supervision department hurriedly walked into the emergency department from the outside, and one of the cadres led by asked Liu Zhongming with a serious face.
When Chen Tianlin saw the cadres of the health supervision department arriving, he immediately said to Liu Zhongming: "President Liu, you will stay here with the members of the emergency team from the city, and I will go to the intensive care unit to have a look." ”
