Chapter 528: Symptoms of the Plague

According to Wu Haiping and the introduction of those materials, Ye Chen can be sure that the situation there is really related to the head plague recorded in the Chinese medicine books.

However, now he wants to know what the specific symptoms of a normal person are after being infected with that kind of plague, and how long can they survive after being infected?

"Dean Wu, can you tell me about the specific symptoms that normal people are infected?" Ye Chen asked again.

Wu Haiping didn't expect that when the other members of the expert group were still thinking about those issues, this young man repeatedly raised questions, and he also raised them in a focused manner, not to talk nonsense.

"What are the symptoms? I'll tell you what I've learned first. Because these symptoms are different, different people are infected, and the symptoms are similar and different. ”

"Some of these patients may have a sudden high fever, bloodshot throat and tongue, bloodshot eyes, and a foul-smelling odor. Then there is constant sneezing, the voice becomes hoarse, because of the strong cough, the chest is very painful, and then there will be vomiting, retching, and at the same time there will be cramps, the skin will start to pus, on the surface, it looks like the body temperature is average, but the inside is hot, and finally in the case of those symptoms, he struggles to die in pain!"

After everyone heard this, except for Ye Chen, and the expressions of several other old experts, which were still like that, the expressions of the others were even different, and they still had never heard of such symptoms. However, they all seem to have a situation in mind, but no one says it.

"Dean Wu, this is obviously a symptom of the flu!" Ye Chen said directly.

"Young man, you're right, this is a flu-like symptom!" Wu Haiping was really surprised when he heard Ye Chen's words, and when Ye Chen reacted so quickly.

"Then may I ask, is there no effective influenza medication?" Ye Chen asked.

"No, the drugs that treat the flu out there, whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, have no effect. Wu Haiping said helplessly.

When Wu Haiping talked about the symptoms of the second group of patients infected with the plague attack, he looked at everyone and said: "After some normal people are infected, the symptoms just mentioned are a little different. First of all, there are chills, high fever, headache, fatigue, body aches with nausea, vomiting, irritability, ecchymosis on the skin, bleeding, inguinal lymph nodes, armpits, neck, all react, and suppuration of swollen lymph nodes, severe zhòng toxemia, or pneumonia, and even sepsis, and the patient dies. ”

Others didn't expect that normal people would be infected with this plague, and the symptoms they would have were very different from those symptoms of the plague just mentioned.

At this moment, except for the members of the expert group who recorded there, they were all frowning and thinking, and when they recalled what kind of similar diseases those symptoms were, Ye Chen said: "Dean Wu, why is this disease so similar to the plague?"

"Yes, you're right, this symptom is very similar to the plague. In the beginning, some doctors figured out how guò could treat patients infected with the plague by treating them. However, it didn't have any effect!" Wu Haiping said as he looked at everyone.

Now, in addition to everyone's surprise that Ye Chen, a young man, reacted so quickly, they were also surprised that this symptom was similar to the plague and its similarities, and the medicine used to treat the plague had no obvious effect.

Now the members of the expert group sitting in the Y-8 transport plane are all silent, and they no longer know what to say. If it's really just plague, it's still possible to treat those infected with the plague treatment method. After all, these plagues had been encountered on a large scale in ancient times, and they could be treated with prescriptions or medicines.

However, they didn't expect that the first type of symptoms mentioned by Wu Haiping just now made it difficult for them to understand why influenza and plague were obviously two different diseases, and why they appeared in a plague area now. They can't be sure of which patients are infected with the two diseases, which may be completely unrelated to the two diseases.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is also the possibility of a third group of patients. Wu Haiping said.

"And?" Zhang Jinsong asked.

"The third type of disease, after the patient is infected with the plague, first the whole body is cold and frozen, goosebumps all over the body, the lips and face are pale, the whole body muscles are sore, the whole body is trembling, the teeth are chattering, the whole body is high, and finally the high temperature dies, this situation is similar to the first symptom just now. ”

"Dean Wu, how are these similar to typhoid fever or malaria?" Ye Chen asked strangely.

"Yes, it's like typhoid fever or malaria. Of course, in that place, on this hot day now, it is not as hot as in the big city, and the temperature there should be more than 20 degrees, or even lower than 20 degrees, which makes people feel this symptom at the most strange time. ”

"Of course, those doctors who treat typhoid fever or malaria with drugs for those infected patients have no effect, but the patients end up dying in great pain. ”

"Then may I ask Dean Wu, are there any other symptoms?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes, after most of these patients are infected with those plagues, most of the patients show symptoms that are a combination of the above three symptoms, which will occur to a greater or lesser extent, and the final situation is either death from high temperature in the body, or death from the symptoms of pneumonia and sepsis. Wu Haiping said.

In fact, he also didn't expect that the young man in front of him would react faster than those old experts. At first, he really thought that Ye Chen was just a student or an assistant of Liao Lao, but now it seems that it should not be so simple.

The members of the expert group of traditional Chinese and Western medicine sitting on the Yun-8 transport plane now looked very bad except for reading the information or thinking about the symptoms of those patients mentioned by Wu Haiping.

Now after Ye Chen finished asking those questions, he had a question about how long the patients could survive after those normal people were infected.

"Dean Wu, how long can those normal people survive after they are infected with the plague?" Ye Chen looked at him and asked. Again, this is what the members of the expert group of Chinese and Western medicine have to ask.

"In this case, it is necessary to distinguish between circumstances. If it is similar to the first type of symptoms, the patient can live for about 7 or 8 days, that is, the time between the beginning of infection and the death of a normal person, seven or eight days before and after. ”

"The second type of symptom is about 8 to 10 days before and after, and finally the same painful death. ”

"The third category, which is a bit luckier than the first two, can take about 10 to 15 days. ”

"The last one, which is even more special, may die in less than 10 days, and the longest is now more than 20 days of infection, and in the case of Chinese and Western medicines, it is still being treated. ”

Hearing Wu Haiping's introduction, Ye Chen understood. However, in the strange eyes of the others, Ye Chen still said, "Dean Wu, can I ask one last question?"

"Of course you can!" Wu Haiping said solemnly.

"Then may I ask the poultry, livestock, rats, and wild birds in the plague area, will they become infected? What are their symptoms, and how long can they live after infection?"

However, what shocked Wu Haiping again was that he couldn't understand that this young man was the first to raise such an important question.

"Actually, the situation there was first two young people who came back from outside to be infected, and then the poultry in the mountain village, including chickens, ducks and geese, cattle, sheep, dogs, pigs and cats, as well as rats, snakes, and wild birds. ”

"It can be said that right now, in addition to mosquitoes, some small bugs, and fish in that river, other animals, people, are infected, and the mortality rate is very high. Wu Haiping said. After Ye Chen nodded, he already understood the basic situation there.

"Young man, may I ask, what is your name?" Wu Haiping asked with a smile.

"Dean Wu, my name is Ye Chen. Ye Chen looked at him and said.
