Chapter 233: Brain-eating worms
The child had a fever, but he still felt cold and shivered in his coat, because his condition was caused by an infectious disease. The fever of www.biquge.info infectious diseases is caused by the release of toxins by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the human body, which stimulate the thermoregulation center of the brain and cause abnormal changes in the regulation of the body temperature center.
The beginning of the abnormal change is that the heat dissipation on the surface of the body decreases, and the heat generated increases. The reason why I feel cold is naturally because the heat dissipation is reduced, the capillaries in the skin are constricted, the blood flow to the skin is reduced, there is no sweating, and the skin temperature is reduced, so it is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Of course, sometimes it is hot and cold, and in short, it is the thermoregulatory center that has a problem.
"Ahh~, my head hurts, my head hurts!" The little boy who was shivering but still very quiet suddenly yelled, and kept pulling his hair with both hands, almost wanting to scratch his head, this scene is terrifying.
The child's mother suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and comforted: "Don't scratch, don't scratch, just wait for the doctor to prescribe medicine!" But the child's mother couldn't control it, because the little boy was also relatively old, and his strength was not small, and his head was so painful that there was a hysterical feeling when it hurt.
The child's mother anxiously urged Xu Zhuo: "Doctor, hurry up and prescribe some painkillers...... It hurts...... , I'm going to break my heart when I see it!" As he spoke, tears burst into tears, which made many onlookers and their families sad.
There was a small sigh from the crowd: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world!"
"It's okay, I'll press him!" Xu Zhuo was very calm, waved his hand, got up, walked around the table, walked in front of the little boy, stretched out his hands to help him press his temples, but in fact, secretly he had already urged the Wanhua Heavenly Eye, stimulating a soft invisible energy, penetrating into the little boy's skull, helping him relieve the pain.
Xu Zhuo's methods are naturally extremely clever, the little boy who was shouting and shouting, as if he was crazy, immediately stopped making trouble, calmed down, closed his eyes, and after a while, his face also showed a very intoxicated expression, this scene suddenly surprised the child's mother and some of the patients and their families around him.
"That is, Dr. Xiao Xu's medical skills are amazing, and the difference between before and after is too significant, isn't it?!"
"Doctor Xiao Xu pressed, 'Mo has a hand!'
"Yes, Dr. Xu's hands, they are really dexterous, whoever will be his wife in the future will be really blessed!" said a young mother with a strange look in her eyes.
Xu Zhuo pressed it and couldn't help frowning. Because, he urged the energy of the Wanhua Heavenly Eye to penetrate into the little boy's head, and he had already understood everything.
His current "clair" and "microscopic eyes" can be accurate to the molecular level, but in an instant, he can see that there are many "little bugs" in the little boy's head, which are crawling around, which has caused severe meningoencephalitis.
In other words, this little boy's fever and headache are not ordinary colds, but extremely serious meningoencephalitis, and it is estimated that it will not be long before his life will be threatened! Because the brain is the most important organ of the human body!
"It's an amoeba protozoa. Xu Zhuo groaned slightly, and he recognized it, he sighed lightly in his heart, but it was not easy to say it on the spot, because he did not get the test results from the hospital, and it was difficult to conclude just based on fever and headache. It's hard to explain.
This is Xu Zhuo, if it is an ordinary quack, he may be misdiagnosed as a cold, and then prescribe some cold medicine, delay it for a few days, and then the condition will be serious, and it will be too late to treat, and the patient will hang up.
"Have you been playing in the water recently?" and you're still in the wild?" Xu Zhuo thought for a moment and asked.
"Huh?" The child's mother was stunned for a moment, feeling that Xu Zhuo's question was quite "sudden" and very nonsensical, does this have anything to do with a cold? Now the weather is very hot during the day, many water entertainment venues have begun to open, and many people even go to the reservoir to play in the water. Because the scenery near the reservoir is generally good, and most of it is free.
The day before yesterday, the family went to a scenic spot near Hangzhou to play, and their son also went into the water to swim, there was a swimming ring, and there were adults, so there was almost no danger.
"Yes, we've been, what, doctor, is there a problem?" the child's mother asked.
Xu Zhuo stopped pressing, returned to his seat and began to write the medical record, and issued the test sheet, and said as he wrote: "I suspect that he is not a common cold, but infected with amoebic protozoa in the water, this kind of worm, also known as brainworms." ”
When Xu Zhuo said this, he couldn't help but look up, and saw that the child's mother's face had changed, and she suddenly turned pale. The little boy burst into tears of fright.
The surrounding patients and their families also looked at each other, and their hearts were awe-inspiring. After all, the name "brain-eating bug" alone is scary enough!
Zhang Kaiyuan, who was in the same consultation room, also glanced over in surprise, but after a little groaning, he didn't say anything. He believes in Xu Zhuo's medical skills, and Xu Zhuo has now turned into a regular and is qualified to see patients individually.
The child's mother asked in a trembling voice, "Then, that, doctor, is this disease serious?"
"Naturally, it's serious, fortunately you came early, if it's a few days late, or for some other reason, I'm afraid the gods will not be able to save you. Of course, I'm just saying that it's very likely, whether it's or not depends on the test results!" Xu Zhuo said.
At this time, outside the clinic, in the crowd, a strange voice suddenly came, shouting: "If you haven't been diagnosed, you are scaring patients here, you are ruining the reputation of the hospital!"
Xu Zhuo knew that this person was Yang Wei as soon as he heard it. Although Yang Wei's medical skills are not as good as Xu Zhuo, he can be regarded as a commendable performance among the interns, and he can make sycophants, which is deeply liked by Du Wenmou, so he also turned regular and stayed. At this time, he passed by, and when he heard a few words occasionally, he couldn't help but sneer at Xu Zhuo.
Yang Wei knew that his "leader" Du Wenmou Doctor Du was at odds with Xu Zhuo's "leader" Zhang Kaiyuan, and Yang Wei couldn't get used to Xu Zhuo.
As soon as these words came out, the child's mother also thought so, thinking that Xu Zhuo was making a big fuss, probably trying to scare himself first, and then prescribing high-priced drugs.
Xu Zhuo smiled indifferently and said, "You go to the child for a test first, and everything depends on the test results!"
The child's mother looked a little reluctant, but she was afraid that it was true, and when she was hesitating, a patient's family member said: "This mother, I think you still listen to Dr. Xiao Xu! You may be the first time to come, you have never dealt with Dr. Xiao Xu, you don't know him! Like me, my grandson is a premature baby, born with a weak constitution, almost a frequent visitor here, he has to come so many times a year, Dr. Xiao Xu's methods Many of the patient's family members present are clear, don't look at his young age, but he is definitely an expert level!"
Another uncle also said: "Yes, Dr. Xiao Xu still has two brushes, just look at the situation of him pressing 'Mo' just now, you should know!"
An equally young mother said: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it, anyway, now that there is medical insurance, it doesn't cost much to check it, so it should be regarded as a serious illness physical examination for the child!"
Hearing these words, the child's mother no longer hesitated, directly picked up the test sheet, asked the direction, and took her baby away.
Outside, Yang Wei left in disdain, because many family members of patients waiting in line cast disdainful glances at him. I probably think that this person is so bad, who is also a doctor, let's dismantle Dr. Xu's platform!
Yang Wei didn't expect that Xu Zhuo's popularity was so high, and there were so many family members of patients present who spoke for him, it was simply ...... You know, this kind of treatment doesn't even have Du Wenmou!
As everyone knows, Du Wenmou has always treated patients with an indifferent attitude, how can there be family members of patients who are familiar with him.
……
Now that medicine is developed, Ginkgo Hospital uses enzyme-linked immunoassay method, and the results can be obtained in half an hour, and the child's mother took the child to take blood for testing, and sure enough, the results came out, and the amoeba protozoa was positive!
As soon as the child's mother got the results, she was in a hurry, and she hurriedly came to Xu Zhuo to save her life! Xu Zhuo arranged for him to be hospitalized, comforting the other party not to worry, and at the same time to be able to treat it in time as soon as possible, she also conducted a popular science popularization to everyone present, carefully explaining the origin and harm of this disease.
When a person swims in rivers, lakes and ponds or washes his nose with infected water, Nagri amoeba enters the nasal cavity, proliferates and passes through the nasal mucosa and cribriform plate, travels up along the olfactory nerve into the brain, invades the central nervous system, and causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.
The onset of this disease is abrupt, the disease progresses rapidly, and symptoms such as headache, fever, and vomiting begin to occur, and quickly turn into paralysis, coma, and death within a week at the earliest!
Due to the severity of the condition, Xu Zhuo arranged for the other party to be hospitalized, and he and Zhang Kaiyuan will follow up the treatment, and it is also an excellent case study opportunity!
In fact, if Xu Zhuo exerts the "sterilization ability" of Wanhua Tianyan and accurately snipes those small amoebic protozoa, he can also do it, but there are too many such worms, and it consumes more mana to kill, and the follow-up explanation is more difficult (how can such a serious disease be treated without medicine?) The other is that this kind of case is relatively rare, and it is not easy to encounter a case, which needs to be studied well and improve the existing treatment plan and system, which will also be of great help to similar patients in the future!
Whether a doctor's background, or a hospital's background, is deep, depends on the usual research and accumulation. If Xu Zhuo uses Wanhua Tianyan, he can be cured, but it will not help the latecomers, what if he is not in the clinic next time? What if this kind of case happens in other hospitals?
However, after Xu Zhuo conducted research and then wrote a paper for publication, he could share and communicate with doctors all over the world and jointly improve the ability of human medicine to fight this disease! This is a great event that will contribute to the development of the great cause of medicine, and it should not be taken lightly!
