"It's supposed to be some kind of bacterial infection, right?" Xu Wei said.

Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye and need to be observed with a microscope.

Bacteria are widely distributed in soil and water, or in symbiosis with other organisms. The human body also carries quite a lot of bacteria. The total number of bacterial cells in the human body and epidermis is about 10 times the total number of cells in the human body.

However, under normal circumstances, when people's immunity is strong enough, bacteria will not pose any threat to people, and they can coexist peacefully with people.

However, bacteria are the causative agents of many diseases, including tuberculosis, gonorrhea, anthrax, syphilis, plague, trachoma and other diseases.

In addition, diseases such as tuberculosis, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc., can also cause ulcers in parts of the body, so there is a high possibility of bacterial infection.

"Let's rule them out!" Guo Xiang circled the common diseases he thought of, such as syphilis, with a red pen, and then drew blood and continued to take it for testing.

When I arrived at the laboratory, I asked Shen Xi by the way, "How is it?" ”

"No similar viruses have been detected in the virus reservoir." Shen Xi shook his head.

"What about bacteria? Is it to be cultivated? Guo Xiang asked.

"Yes, the bacteria are not so fast, you have to culture to know." Shen Xi nodded and took the blood from Guo Xiang's hand, "Continue to investigate?" ”

"Yes, let's see if it's these, gonorrhea, anthrax, syphilis, and plague should also be investigated!" Guo Xiang frowned, although he felt that it was unlikely, but what if.

"Good!" Shen Xi nodded, and suddenly asked, "Could it be AIDS?" ”

Guo Xiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this, "Can we test it here?" ”

"No way!" Shen Xi shook his head, "There are no reagents here." ”

"Then I'll take it to Beijing Medical University." Guo Xiang said that the hospital has not yet set up a venereal disease department, and now there are relatively few people with AIDS, and Li Yuanhang has enough there.

So Guo Xiang took a tube of Lin Miao's blood and sent it to Beijing Medical University, and gave it to Li Yuanhang for him to help test it.

In the afternoon, news came from Li Yuanhang's side that it was not AIDS.

This excludes one more item.

Shen Xi also gave feedback here, it was not gonorrhea that Guo Xiang said, and those diseases did not match.

Guo Xiang was a little confused.

It's going to be the New Year again, I haven't found anything, the patient is still in so much pain, and it's not going to be good for the New Year.

The next day was the Chinese New Year's Eve, Guo Xiang was preparing to spend the New Year at her mother's house this year, she asked Gu Zhennan to take her two children and Gu Xide to go first, she was a little worried about Lin Miao, and decided to go to the hospital again.

Hospitals have been deserted a lot, most of the doctors have taken a holiday, leaving only the doctor on duty, and some hospitalized patients have also gone home for the New Year and come back after the New Year.

Lin Miao lives in a three-person ward, but now he is the only one, and he is very deserted.

"How's it going today?" Guo Xiang walked over and asked.

"Oh no, I seem to have a fever again!" Lin Miao was a little weak.

Guo Xiang touched his forehead, the fever was quite severe, and he quickly measured his temperature and prescribed antipyretics.

"And the back here, there's a big bag." Lin Miao pointed to his lower back.

Guo Xiang picked up his clothes and saw that there was a bulging bag, half the size of a palm, and there were fluctuations when he touched it, and there seemed to be something pouring out of it.

Guo Xiang checked again, not only the lower back, but also the buttocks and next to the spine, there were several bags, but they were not that big, and it felt like pus inside.

Guo Xiang was surprised, what is this?

Do you want to have a biopsy test? But this situation is also the first time Guo Xiang has encountered it, and he doesn't know if he dares to cut it?

Then take a little out and give it a try?

Guo Xiang took a disposable syringe and said to Lin Miao: "You bear with me, I'll take a little liquid out and see what it is." ”

"Good!" Lin Miao nodded, fully cooperative, he also wanted to know what it was.

Guo Xiang stopped taking the amount of half-tube syringe, disinfected the eye of the needle, and pressed it on the cotton wool to avoid any further infection.

When I went to the laboratory, Shen Xi was still there.

"Didn't go home for the New Year?" Guo Xiang asked.

"I'm on duty." Shen Xi said lightly, and saw the syringe in Guo Xiang's hand, "There is a new one?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Xiang handed it over, "Look what's inside!" ”

Shen Xi nodded, "When do you want it?" ”

"Tell me when you can get out." Guo Xiang said, "But I'm going back to my parents' house today for the New Year, if I find you calling me." ”

Guo Xiang told Shen Xi his eldest brother's number, and she nodded.

Now there is nothing to do, and it is useless to stay in the hospital, so Guo Xiang explained to Xu Wei and asked him to pay attention to Lin Miao, and he went back to his parents' house first.

Xu Wei's parents came to the capital for the New Year, and it happened that he and Zeng Jing could stay on duty in the hospital.

When Guo Xiang returned to his parents' house, everyone was making dumplings, and the two small groups were running around on the side and having fun.

"Why are you so busy this year, and you won't stop for the New Year?" Guo Yaqin asked.

"I just came to a patient yesterday, very strange illness, a little uneasy to go over and take a look." Guo Xiang said.

"What disease?" Guo Yaqin was a little curious.

"I don't know, I haven't found out yet, but the man's lungs are like being gnawed by insects, there are holes everywhere, and there are many places in his body, I don't know what's going on." Guo Xiang shook his head.

"So scary?" Guo Yaqin was startled, but she still didn't ask, and she couldn't eat for a while.

This year, Gu Xide went to Guo Xiang's house to celebrate the New Year together, there were many people, everyone was talking, laughing, happy and having a good New Year.

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was sitting and chatting, and Guo Xiang's eldest brother suddenly rang.

She hurriedly went to answer it, could it be a call from Shen Xi, what did she find?

Guo Xiang picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was Shen Xi.

"Dean Guo, I found something." Shen Xi said.

"What is it?" Guo Xiang hurriedly asked.

"I don't know!" Shen Xi shook his head, "But a bacterium was found in that pus, not a bacterium, but a fungus!" ”

"Fungus?" Guo Xiang was surprised, generally speaking, fungi are considered to be a kind of plants, how can they grow in the human body?

Fungi originally originated from the Latin word for mushroom. It is a large group of biological kingdoms, and it is divided into many phyla and species below.

For example, the white fungus, enoki mushroom, and bamboo sunflower that we usually eat belong to the subphylum Basidiomycetes, which belong to the fungal class basidiomycetes.

There are also some pathogenic bacteria that can cause humans and animals, and the most common ones we have are athlete's foot, nail fungus, etc., which are fungal infections.

However, this is generally on the surface of the body, and rarely survives in the body.

If it was really a fungal infection, it was that it multiplied in Lin Miao's body and then gnawed on his organs?

"I don't know what kind of fungus it is?" Guo Xiang asked.

"I don't know, but I can see it from the microscope!" Shen Xi looked at the fungus wriggling under the microscope while talking on the phone, "I seem to have seen it, I happened to see it at my mentor when I was exchanging abroad before, but I forgot what it was." ”

"We don't have this in our germ bank." Shen Xi said, "I can call my mentor and ask." ”

"Okay, I'll come right over." Guo Xiang said.

Everyone looked at her when they heard Guo Xiang's call, "Do you want to go to the hospital now?" ”

"I'm going to take a trip, there's progress, our lab doctor has found something, I'm going to check it out." Guo Xiang said as he went to get his coat and bag.

"Then I'll send you!" Gu Zhennan said.

"No, you have to send grandpa back later, I may not come back so soon." Guo Xiang shook his head, kissed the two little groups on the face, said sorry to his parents, and ran out.

When I arrived at the hospital, there were only a few dim lights left in the hall, and the laboratory was brightly lit.

Guo Xiang hurriedly changed into a white coat and walked in.
