Chapter 10 Causes of Illness
"How is it impossible?" You Kexin found the reason for his symptoms, "We just came back from the Maldives, I was bitten by a bat there, bats are the culprit of spreading the Ebola virus, I must have been infected by bats in the rainforest of an uninhabited island, Zhenzhen, come and help, do I have to self-isolate now......"
You Kexin was already completely flustered on the other end of the phone.
Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Kexin, where are you now?"
"Xincheng Apartment, I'm alone, Liang Chen's foot is injured, and I was worried about infecting Liang Chen, so I didn't contact him, Zhen Zhen, you and Nan Dashen are experts in infectious diseases, only by looking for you, I feel safe." ”
Ye Zhenzhen: "Kexin, you are waiting in the Xincheng apartment, and I will go over immediately." ”
After hanging up the phone, Nan Zhiqiao also packed his things and prepared to go back.
Since Zhen Zhen and Nan Zhiqiao received their certificates, the two have been in pairs wherever they go, and even the students in the laboratory have noticed the changes in the two, but the two feel that before the official wedding, they should not announce the news that the two have received the certificate.
"Senior Nan, I'm going to see Kexin in the Xincheng apartment, she's sick. ”
"I'm with you. ”
Nan Zhiqiao drove the car and went to the Xincheng apartment with Zhen Zhen.
In the Xincheng apartment, You Kexin was covered with a quilt and nested in his own quilt.
Ye Zhenzhen checked Kexin's symptoms, and then linked to her previous travel experience in the Maldives, Zhen Zhen analyzed: "Any disease has a certain period of incubation period, and from the current symptoms of Kexin, it cannot be ruled out that it is possible to be infected with a certain pathogen during tourism." ”
You Ke was anxious, "Zhen Zhen, you say that, am I really infected with the Ebola virus?"
"It's not Ebola, it could be some other pathogen, and we'll find out when we go to the hospital and check it out. ”
"Go to the hospital?!" Although You Kexin is sick, he still doesn't want to go to the hospital.
Ye Zhenzhen: "Of course you have to go to the hospital, you vomit and diarrhea, you have to go to the hospital for treatment." ”
You Kexin: "Zhen Zhen, I don't want to go to the hospital, or you can take a sample from me, go to your laboratory for testing, see what virus I am infected with, and then treat the cause, isn't it faster." ”
Zhen Zhen shook her head, "The division of labor between disease control and hospitals is different, disease control is the prevention department, and the hospital is the treatment department. ”
You Kexin: "But, I really think I have an infectious disease, Zhen Zhen, you often say, bats, mosquitoes and the like, are all vectors that spread diseases, I was bitten by mosquitoes on an uninhabited island in the Maldives, bitten by bats, there must be some virus brought into my body, I will be like this, you see my red rash, and red eyes, pain all over, vomiting and diarrhea......"
You Kexin complained about her symptoms, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help it, who made Kexin a patient.
Nan Zhiqiao stood beside the bed and said to Zhen Zhen, "The symptoms of the heart remind me of a virus, the Zika virus. ”
"Zika virus?!"
Ye Zhenzhen and You Kexin, who was lying on the bed, asked at the same time, and You Kexin asked nervously: "Great God, boss, Director Nan, where did you see it? My symptoms are very similar to the Zika virus? I heard that the Zika virus has been very violent recently, and pregnant women are infected with Zika virus, which will cause microcephaly in the fetus, although I have no plans to have children now, but will the Zika virus affect future fertility?"
Nan Zhiqiao: "Don't worry, Zika virus is different from brucella and will not leave lifelong disability to the reproductive system, but Zika virus can be transmitted by mosquitoes and body fluids, and the symptoms of adults after infection are generally not serious, and they will be cured after antiviral treatment." ”
You Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not a deadly Ebola virus, but it was still very uncomfortable for me to vomit and diarrhea like this, "Then what should I do now?"
You Kexin asked Nan Zhiqiao, Nan Zhiqiao, as a god in the infectious disease world, compared to his best friend Zhen Zhen, Kexin obviously believed in Nan Zhiqiao's suggestion.
Nan Zhiqiao: "Go to the hospital." ”
Nan Zhiqiao's advice is the same as Zhen Zhen's.
Since the great god experts have said so, You Kexin obediently went to the hospital according to the opinions of the two.
——
In the district hospital, Nan Zhiqiao told You Kexin's attending doctor about his condition and his own opinions.
The attending physician followed the expert's recommendations, treated antivirally, and sent a cardiac body fluid sample to the district CDC for testing.
As Nan Zhiqiao expected, it was a Zika virus infection.
Ye Zhenzhen was surprised that Nan Zhiqiao was able to determine what kind of virus infection was based on symptoms alone, Nan Zhiqiao explained: "Actually, it is not just based on Kexin's symptoms, but the important thing is to link Kexin's experience before the onset of the disease to the local epidemic situation. ”
Ye Zhenzhen asked rhetorically: "Senior Nan, you didn't know that there was an epidemic of Zika virus there before you went to the Maldives, right?"
Nan Zhiqiao nodded slightly, "Well, I know, before going to an unfamiliar environment, we must find out the possible dangers there, the infectious diseases that are currently circulating are one that must be known, before we went to the Maldives, I looked at the local epidemiological information and found that there is an epidemic of Zika virus, however, there is no Zika virus vaccine yet, so before I went, I did not do other precautions except for bringing mosquito repellent potion." ”
You Kexin was hospitalized because of Zika virus infection, and Liang Chen's leg injury was not healed and he couldn't go to the hospital to take care of Kexin.
As Kexin's best friend, Zhen Zhen decided to stay in the hospital to take care of Kexin.
As soon as Zhen Zhen told Nan Zhiqiao about this idea, Nan Zhiqiao immediately objected.
Nan Zhiqiao's reason for objecting was that in the next few days, Zhen Zhen had other tasks.
Ye Zhenzhen asked curiously: "These days, there is nothing to be busy in the CDC laboratory, I can ask for leave to go to the hospital." ”
Nan Zhiqiao: "I have promised Liang Lei to go to the Lianhai City Center for Disease Control and Prevention tomorrow." ”
"So soon! You're going to go to Lianhai City to make a report, and I'll stay in the lab, and there's not much to do. ”
"You come with me. Nan Zhiqiao said lightly.
Ye Zhenzhen felt strange, in the past, Nan Zhiqiao would not bring Zhenzhen to participate in this kind of academic report or training in other places, what happened this time?
Ye Zhenzhen asked: "Why do you want me to go? It's just an on-site training from the prefecture-level city CDC, do you want both of us to participate?"
"It's not just training. Nan Zhiqiao paused slightly, and then said: "Liang Lei called this time and said that the main purpose of asking me to go to Lianhai City was to help investigate the cause of the strange disease that had recently appeared in a local town. ”
"Strange disease?!" Ye Zhenzhen became interested, what Nan Zhiqiao could call a strange disease must be very strange, what is special.
Ye Zhenzhen asked, "What is the strange disease?"
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences, let's talk about it in Lianhai City. ”
Listening to Nan Zhiqiao's tone, it is necessary to set off as soon as possible.
