At this time, Xu Wei also treated the wound back.

"How?" Xu Wei asked.

"I gave some stability and fell asleep again." Guo Xiang said.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Wei said, "Why are you still biting people?" ”

"Xu Wei, I suspect ......" Guo Xiang looked at Xu Wei, "Look at the old man, his body is cramping, high fever, sweating, and he seems to be afraid of water!" ”

"There are hallucinations again, sometimes delirious, manic, just now someone opens the curtain and he screams, this is photophobia......"

"You mean...... Is it rabies? Xu Wei looked at the sleeping old man incredulously, and then looked at the wound he had just treated, his face turned white.

All of these symptoms are the same as those of a rabies attack.

Hydrophobia, in particular, is specific to rabies.

Because of the influence of the virus, the patient hears the sound of water, sees the water or drinks the water, which will cause reflex throat muscle spasm and extreme pain, so although the patient is thirsty, he does not dare to drink water, and he cannot swallow after drinking, thus causing dehydration, 80% of rabies patients have this typical manifestation.

"Did the old man ever be bitten by a dog before he came to your house?" Guo Xiang hurriedly asked the little couple.

"I don't know!" The two shook their heads, really ignorant of what they were.

Guo Xiang was helpless, so he walked over and picked up the corner of the old man's pants to check, but there was no foot.

I looked at the other foot again, and sure enough, I saw a wound, and I could see that it was a tooth mark, and it was relatively new.

Although it was scabbed, it was only a relatively new scab, probably two or three days ago.

Guo Xiang looked serious, and hurriedly took a cotton swab from the side, pinched open the old man's mouth and stuck some saliva, if it is rabies, the patient's saliva will have rabies virus.

That Xu Wei ...... She looked at Xu Wei's hand, the old man bit his hand and bleed, there must be saliva stuck on his teeth, and the virus in the saliva was likely to enter Xu Wei's body.

Guo Xiang's face became very grim, and he took the test tube and packed the cotton swab, "Take it for testing immediately!" ”

When we arrived at the laboratory and put the corresponding reagents into the instrument, everyone was anxiously waiting.

Not long after, the same lineage of the virus as rabies appeared on the computer monitor.

Sure enough, it's rabies!

Xu Wei's face turned white.

"Go to the epidemic prevention station immediately to get vaccinated and see if there is rabies virus serum or immunoglobulin, go quickly!" Guo Xiang hurriedly said.

Generally speaking, it is best to vaccinate within 24 hours if you are bitten by a dog, which can be the most effective in preventing rabies.

Whereas, immunoglobulin injections are a passive immunotherapy. It is the infusion of a large number of antibodies contained in immunoglobulin to the recipient, so that it can quickly reach a temporary immune protection state from a low or no immune state.

As antibodies interact with antigens, they play a role in directly neutralizing toxins and killing bacteria and viruses. Therefore, immunoglobulin products have a certain effect on the prevention of bacterial and viral infections.

That is, immunoglobulins can quickly boost your immunity against viruses. Vaccines, on the other hand, have a slower onset of action but a longer lasting effect. Therefore, in order to prevent the acute attack of the virus, it is best to inject immunoglobulin.

Now that it has been determined that the rabies virus is present in the body of the elderly, the possibility of infection has greatly increased, and acute prevention is required.

"Drive my car!" Guo Xiang took out the car keys, "Let Zeng Jing take you there, she will drive!" ”

Zeng Jing has worked in the United States for a period of time, and it is normal to drive.

"Don't worry, you won't have to get infected!" Guo Xiang patted Xu Wei's shoulder.

But if he was infected, he would be 100% dead, and the old man would not live for a few days.

Xu Wei nodded, it's useless to say anything now, let's get vaccinated first.

Xu Wei found Zeng Jingyi and said that she was also startled, and hurriedly drove Guo Xiang's car to send Xu Wei to the epidemic prevention station.

Guo Xiang took the test results to the ward, and the little couple hurriedly greeted him, "Doctor, how is it?" ”

"It's rabies!" Guo Xiang said with a solemn face.

"What then? Can it be cured? The man hurriedly asked.

Guo Xiang shook his head, "There is no cure for rabies. ”

"What?" The man was shocked, he didn't expect that he was going to die just after picking up his uncle?

"That'...... How long will he live? The man's daughter-in-law asked.

"It's only a day or two!" Guo Xiang replied.

Rabies can die in seven days at the onset of rabies, four days at the fastest, and up to ten days. So some people are bitten by a dog, and if the dog doesn't die after 10 days, it's basically certain that there is no rabies, and the person will be fine.

The young couple looked at each other, no one thought that it would be like this, and he was going to die two days after taking his uncle over.

The man's eyes turned red, and his mother had just died of illness, and he didn't expect his uncle to follow.

His daughter-in-law patted his hand and comforted, "At least we can send him to the end, if he doesn't take it, no one will know if he is alone at home or dead." ”

Guo Xiang nodded, yes, for the old man, at least he still has relatives by his side before he dies.

"So what else can we do now?" The man wiped the corner of his eye and asked.

"Don't do anything, accompany the old man on his last journey!" Guo Xiang shook his head.

The man sat on the side of the old man's bed and shook his hand, thinking that the old man had lived so hard in his life, and finally took it, and thought that he could enjoy a few days of happiness, but he couldn't think that he would have to leave so soon, and tears couldn't help but flow.

The old man opened his eyes in a daze, possibly hallucinated, looked at his nephew and said, "Ah Zhen, is it you?" You're coming to pick me up? ”

The man's eyes were red, and he held back tears, "It's me, I've come to see you." ”

The old man shed a line of tears, "Ah Zhen, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I don't take good care of the child." ”

Guo Xiang's eyes turned red.

"I don't blame you, you didn't mean to, I forgive you!" The man couldn't stop crying.

The old man had a relieved smile on his face, and his wife forgave him, and he slowly closed his eyes.

The instrument screamed frantically, Guo Xiang didn't move, she turned her face sideways to hold back the tears in her eyes, and the daughter-in-law of the man next to her cried.

After that, the man settled the medical bills and sent the old man's body to the crematorium to give him his last ride.

Guo Xiang looked at the car in the crematorium and walked away with some emotion, the world is impermanent, and some people live their lives in pain like this.

Therefore, I should cherish my current life.

Xu Wei came back, and Zeng Jing returned the car keys to Guo Xiang.

"How?" Guo Xiang asked.

"I got the first shot, and I also got immune globulin." Zeng Jing said, still a little melancholy.

"It should be fine!" Guo Xiang patted her hand, the prevention was so timely, it should be no problem.

Both of them nodded, they are both doctors, and naturally they know that this is a matter of probability, if you are lucky, you will be fine, if you don't have a seizure in a few days, there is a high probability that you will not be infected.

Xu Wei's figure has always been very good, and he has taken immunoglobulin, so he should be fine.

It will be fine, Zeng Jing comforted herself.
