Chapter 75: Check the Radiation Tower
Li Bai: "Based on the results of the current survey, it is difficult to determine whether there is an abnormal increase in fever cases in this community. Because since July 7, the fever cases in the community have fluctuated between 1~5 cases every day, although the cases after the 20th are slightly higher than the average number of cases in the previous 7 days, but the maximum number of cases a day is only 5, and because there is no search for the same period in previous years and before July this year, it is impossible to compare with the same period in previous years and before July this year, so it cannot be considered that there has been an abnormal increase in fever cases in the community for the time being. ”
Yang Le didn't expect to come to this conclusion, and asked: "What should I do now?" Since there is no abnormality, let's go home?"
Yu Fei patted Yang Le, "Think beautifully, listen to our leader's orders." ”
"Although the results of the inspection are not abnormal, we still need to find the cause of this fever. Li Bai began to arrange the next action task.
Yu Fei and Gao Meng visited the 10 fever patients on the spot and collected throat swabs and blood samples from the current patients. Zhang Lin and Yang Le conducted a Bretu index survey of the Xincun community. ”
The work has not been arranged for Lin Xiaoxiao, and she is a little anxious.
The other 4 people in the emergency team have work to do, but she hasn't yet, and Li Bai didn't say which group he wants to join.
"Team Li, which group am I with?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
Yang Le was very interested in Lin Xiaoxiao's new title of Li Bai, "Team Li, Captain Li, Captain Li Bai of the emergency team, this title is good, it feels more imposing than our leader, and we will shout like this next time." ”
"You come with me to investigate the situation in the Radiation Tower. ”
Li Bai brought radiation protection clothing and radiation detectors from the emergency warehouse for disease control and prevention before leaving, and it turned out that he also had doubts about the installation of radiation towers in the community reported by the prevention and protection doctors.
Xincun community, downstairs of a resident.
Li Bai and Lin Xiaoxiao carried protective clothing, held the detector in their hands, and looked up.
There is a brand-new signal transmission tower on the roof of the building, which looks like a normal communication base station.
"Team Li, this kind of signal transmission tower is often seen, and there is one near our community, so it can't be really radioactive, right?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at the signal tower and asked.
"The radiation from the cell tower itself is not pathogenic, and I am concerned that there may be other sources of radiation in the vicinity. ”
"Hmm, what do you mean, how can there be other radioactive sources?" Lin Xiaoxiao became more and more confused about what Li Bai meant.
"I'll tell you a story. Li Bai said with a smile.
Still in the mood to tell a story at this time?
is worthy of being a great god, Li Bai's psychological quality is really good, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed silently in her heart.
"Well, I want to hear stories. ”
"Two years ago, there was a company in our Yunhai City, which was engaged in foreign trade business, and there were clerks Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang, and there was a conflict between the two employees.
One day, Xiao Zhang had symptoms of physical discomfort and fatigue, so he went to a nearby hospital for examination, but found nothing abnormal.
But later, Xiao Zhang's physical discomfort became more and more serious.
To make matters worse, many of their colleagues in the office were experiencing the same symptoms.
Xiao Zhang and his colleagues went to a major hospital for a check-up and were diagnosed with radiation sickness by the doctor.
The company called the police and arrested Xiao Li through police investigation.
After interrogation, Xiao Li explained the whole thing, it turned out that he learned from a friend that there was an abandoned radioactive source for flaw detection in a warehouse, Xiao Li had a certain medical knowledge, knew the harm of the source to the human body, thought of Xiao Zhang, who had a conflict with him, and thought of a way to retaliate.
He took the opportunity to steal the radioactive source out of the warehouse and put it under the green soil of Xiao Zhang's desk, but he also applied for an office transfer, bought a radiation protection suit on the Internet, put the protective clothing under the coat during the day, and went to work normally.
Xiao Li originally thought that this incident was unaware, but the police found the location of the radioactive source through a radiation examination, and found the person who placed the radioactive source through the company's monitoring.
Xiao Zhang died of the sequelae of radiation sickness because of excessive radiation, and other offices of the company were more or less subjected to radiation, and he was treated in the hospital, but fortunately, he was finally discharged from the hospital.
Xiao Li was also arrested on charges of murder and endangering public safety. ”
Li Bai's story was thrilling, and Lin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
"Is this a thing? Is it true? Why haven't I heard this news on the Internet?"
"It's true, the police solved the case at the beginning, but we were also involved in the disease control, when many people in the entire office had unexplained diseases at the same time, and the local hospital reported it to the CDC.
People from the same company have been diagnosed with radiation sickness, it must be a problem with the company's environment, our emergency team wore protective clothing and testing equipment to check, and I brought out the radioactive source under the green plant. ”
It turned out to be a case in which Li Bai was personally involved.
Lin Xiaoxiao sounded a little scared now.
Li Bai is telling this story now, and it must have its meaning.
"Team Li, do you suspect that someone has dropped radioactive sources near the new community, or is there a radioactive source that has been abandoned here?"
"There is a possibility, but it is not very likely, we will do an examination and we can rule out this suspicious cause. ”
The two turned on the radiological detector, and walked back and forth in the Xincun community twice, but did not find anything abnormal.
After that, I went to the signal tower to test it again, and the radiation value was normal, and there was no problem.
In the afternoon of the same day, the throat swabs and blood samples of the six active cases were sent to the laboratory of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the nucleic acids of influenza virus, dengue fever antibodies, nucleic acids, leptospira, rubella, measles, and epidemic hemorrhagic fever were all negative.
The laboratory results showed that the recent fever cases in the Xincun community of Wan'an sub-district could preliminarily rule out dengue fever and influenza outbreaks.
Through the on-site testing of Li Bai and Lin Xiaoxiao, radiation-related diseases can also be ruled out.
With all the possible related conditions listed above ruled out, what would be the cause of people's fever?
In the evening, Yang Le and Zhang Lin came back, and after their investigation, they got a Breto index of 16 in the Xincun community.
Everyone stares at this data, and they all feel bad, generally the Breto index is less than 5 is considered normal, if it is greater than 5, it will cause various mosquito-borne diseases.
Now that the cause is unknown, Li Bai can only ask the Xincun Community Health Service Station to strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of patients with current symptoms first.
Let the Prevention and Protection Department of Wan'an Hospital guide the Xincun Community Health Service Station to strengthen the monitoring of fever patients, and report the new cases to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention before 16 o'clock every day.
At the same time, a patriotic sanitation campaign was launched in the Xincun community to mobilize residents to clear stagnant water and remove mosquito breeding sites, improve environmental sanitation, and reduce the Breto index.
Li Bai also felt that in order to carry out in-depth case search, it may lead to an abnormal increase in undetermined fever cases, so it is necessary to expand the scope of search, establish a group search method, and expand the investigation time.
That night, the emergency office was brightly lit.
Li Bai is reformulating the definition of the case.
