Chapter 112: A New Virus
Early in the morning, Yan Murong rushed to the building of the Ministry of Health, and when he saw Yan Murong getting out of the car, a young man who was looking around immediately ran over, Yan Murong knew him, and he was also there when he went to Liang Zhengtao's house to treat the old lady.
"Doctor Yan, you are here, Minister Liang and the other doctors have arrived, I am afraid that you will not find your way, so I specially asked me to come down to pick you up."
"This big brother—"
"My name is Dong Jun, you can just call me by my name, let's go, I'll take you up." Dong Jun said with a smile.
"Okay." Yan Murong said embarrassedly - the embarrassment was not that he was late, but that he hadn't gone to give the old lady acupuncture for several days, and Liang Zhengtao was afraid that he wouldn't find a way to send a secretary to pick him up, which made him a little embarrassed.
followed Dong Jun to the door of Liang Zhengtao's office, Dong Jun knocked on the door, and after the sound of inviting him in, Dong Jun stretched out his hand to signal Yan Murong to go in.
Yan Murong nodded to Dong Jun to express his gratitude before pushing open the door, and was immediately startled when he saw the scene in the room.
Liang Zhengtao's office is not big, but it is also thirty or forty square meters, and in such a big place, there are no less than twenty people standing densely, and when they saw Yan Murong coming in, everyone's eyes shifted to him.
Yan Murong looked at it, except for Chen Hanqing, he didn't know anyone else-oh, by the way, there was another one who knew, that is, Liang Zhengtao's son, Liang Shaokun. And now, Liang Shaokun is looking at him with the eyes of the enemy.
Smiling awkwardly, Yan Murong looked at Liang Zhengtao and said. "I'm sorry Minister Liang, I'm late."
"It's fine." Liang Zhengtao waved his hand solemnly and said. "You're just in time, come a little later, and we'll all leave."
"Huh? In such a hurry? Yan Murong was stunned and asked. I don't know what's going on yet. ”
"It's too late." Liang Zhengtao looked at his watch and said. "The military region has prepared the plane, you can leave now -- you can ask President Chen Hanqing for specific matters, and he will explain it to you." ――
"Principal Chen, what the hell is going on?" Sitting on the helicopter of the Yanjing Military Region, Yan Murong looked at Chen Hanqing and asked.
"It's a new type of contagious virus." Chen Hanqing said. "The epidemic area is in a village deep in the mountains of Guizhou Province."
"What is the nature of a contagious virus?"
"It's hard to say." Chen Hanqing said with a frown. "At first, there will be symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and after seven or eight hours, the skin of the person who was passed on will start to appear red spots, then turn into blood spots, and then start to fester—by the way, this is a picture from the epidemic prevention station over there, you see."
As he spoke, Chen Hanqing took out a folder from a bag he was carrying and handed it to Yan Murong.
The patient in the photo is a 35-year-old farmer from a mountain village who was infected with this unknown virus three days ago, and now 40 percent of his skin has festered, and his whole body looks terrifying.
Yan Murong took the photo and looked at it and returned it to Chen Hanqing, from the photo, he couldn't see anything at all, only after seeing the patient in the local area.
"Only vomiting and diarrhea at first?" Yan Murong asked.
"Yes—at least that's what they say." Chen Hanqing said. "So I think it's strange - vomiting and diarrhea are usually caused by gastrointestinal diseases, but also because of fever, and if the spine compresses the nerves, it can also cause symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, but these are not contagious diseases."
"That means that the early symptom of this infectious disease is vomiting and diarrhea." Yan Murong thought for a while and said.
"That's right." Chen Hanqing said. "After seven or eight hours, the symptoms are gone, but there are blood spots on the body."
"Got it." Yan Murong nodded, and then lowered his head.
He had never seen this kind of illness before, and the old man had never told him about such a situation - according to Chen Hanqing's statement and the information on the photo, it was difficult for Yan Murong to give an answer now.
"Principal Chen, it seems that this virus first destroys the internal organs of the human body, and then invades the blood, causing damage to the blood."
"You're saying it's a blood disease?" Chen Hanqing asked.
"Not really." Yan Murong shook his head and said. "In the early stage of diarrhea and vomiting, it is likely that the virus is destroying the internal organs of the human body, and then the blood is destroyed - now make a phone call and ask them to check the patient to see if the internal organs are damaged."
"Okay, I'll fight right away." As he spoke, Chen Hanqing took out the phone and dialed Liang Zhengtao's number.
For Yan Murong, Chen Hanqing believes unconditionally, besides, even if Yan Murong is wrong, there is no problem in checking it.
"Minister Liang has already contacted that side, and we will have the results when we arrive." Chen Hanqing put away his mobile phone, looked at Yan Murong and said.
"Do you have a solution?" Chen Hanqing asked.
"Not yet." Yan Murong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We haven't even seen the patient, and I can't just make a conclusion by inference - by the way, doesn't the epidemic prevention station over there test blood samples?"
"Tested." Chen Hanqing said. "The blood showed that the patient had very few white blood cells -- what I couldn't understand was how a blood disease could cause skin ulcers, much like a rare genetic skin disease in which the skin becomes more tender and tenderer as the blood protein decreases, and the body will have a wound when you touch it -- but the problem is that now if you don't touch it, you will have blood spots."
"I think it's an infectious disease that has both blood and skin." Liang Shaokun said suddenly.
It's okay if he doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Yan Murong realized that this guy was also on the plane.
What kind of excitement is he coming to join in with a brain department?
But when Yan Murong saw his reluctance, he understood that he didn't want to come, and it was estimated that Liang Zhengtao forced him to come.
Yan Murong directly ignored Liang Shaokun's words - what he said was nonsense at all, he had already said just now, this virus is likely to destroy the internal organs of the human body first, and then destroy the blood and skin.
"Can't the epidemic prevention station make antiviral serum?" Yan Murong looked at Chen Hanqing and asked.
"I can't do it yet." Chen Hanqing said. "I haven't found the pathogen yet, and I don't know what the source of infection is, even if the serum is made, the source of infection can't be found."
"Shall we go and do it?" Yan Mufang asked sullenly.
"Go and help them make serums." Chen Hanqing smiled bitterly. "This is the work of Western medicine, as for us, let's see if we can use Chinese medicine to stabilize the patient's condition - we save people, they study, and we do both."
