Chapter 186: New Subtypes

Nan Hanfei appeared in front of Gu Yanan.

Gu Yanan asked in surprise: "Why are you here?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Nan Hanfei smiled, "I'm fine, I'm here to send the suspect for treatment." ”

"Suspects? Where? Gu Yanan looked behind Nan Hanfei, but did not find the suspect.

"The emergency doctor did a preliminary examination, and the suspect has just been taken to the infectious disease ward."

"Infectious diseases? Be careful of being infected when you come into contact with a suspect. ”

Gu Yanan subconsciously instructed, and Nan Hanfei smiled deeply, "I'll be careful." ”

Police officer Xiao Li came out of one of the wards, came to Nan Hanfei's side, saw Gu Yanan, and greeted her first, "Director Gu, why are you here?" Coming to us for Team South? ”

Police officer Xiao Li's eyes swirled between Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei, full of gossip and exploration.

"No, let's do the tune." Gu Yanan didn't care, there were multiple versions of the matter between her and Nan Hanfei circulating in the surrounding people, and she didn't want to explain it anymore.

"Flow?" The policeman Xiao Li seemed to be interested, "Is it to investigate the recent leprosy?" There are a lot of rumors about the leprosy outbreak in Binhai Middle School on the Internet, which one is true? ”

is another onlooker who was misled by Internet rumors and ate melons.

"There is no leprosy, the epidemic in Binhai Middle School is Mycobacterium avium infection, the health system has refuted the rumors on the Internet, and you must go to the official website to see the news of this epidemic."

The policeman Xiao Li nodded again and again, "Director Gu taught me a lesson, but the suspect we arrested this time really looks like a leper, with pimples all over his body, and pus in some places, which is strange and scary." ”

Hearing the suspect's symptoms, Gu Yanan immediately became interested, "Where is that person?" I want to see it. ”

The policeman Xiao Li was a little surprised, but still pointed to a ward behind him, "It's there, just sent in, and I have a colleague watching." ”

Gu Yanan entered the ward, followed by Nan Hanfei and policeman Xiao Li.

In the ward, in addition to the suspect lying on the hospital bed, there was another young policeman, several doctors and nurses, the most conspicuous of which was Gu Jiashu, who was examining the patient.

The suspect was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with several dark red bumps on his left cheek, more pimples on his arm, some of which had burst and leaked pus, and the most striking was a wound on his right leg that was still bleeding out.

Gu Jiashu examined the wound expressionlessly and asked, "How did you get this wound?" ”

The suspect was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Gu Jiashu and then at the police guarding the bedside, and he didn't dare to speak.

The policeman Xiao Li replied on behalf of the suspect, "The wound on his leg was accidentally dropped and scratched by a branch when he escaped arrest, and the pimples on his body were not caused when he was arrested." ”

Gu Yanan leaned over to his brother Gu Jiashu and asked in a low voice, "Judging from the symptoms, is it mycobacterium avium?" ”

"Well, it's very similar, the patient's specimen is sent to the laboratory department, and it will take some time for the results to come out, and after the leg injury is treated, it will be treated according to mycobacterium avium."

Gu Yanan looked at the suspect on the hospital bed and asked, "When did these pimples on your body start to appear?" ”

The suspect's eyes flickered, "Does this help with treatment?" ”

"Yes, and it's important."

"If I think about it, I should have started feeling a little sick about a month ago, I bought some medicine for skin diseases at the pharmacy, and after applying it, it didn't get better."

"Where have you been lately?" Gu Yanan asked.

The suspect was stunned, this question was more like a police question.

The suspect muttered, "Where I've been, it must have nothing to do with my illness." ”

Nan Hanfei suddenly raised his voice, "Say!" Whatever the doctor asks, you say it. ”

The suspect was taken aback by Nan Hanfei's momentum, and immediately confessed, "It's to go hunting in the mountains, and then bring the prey back to the city to sell." ”

The policeman Xiao Li teased on the side: "Hunting? You're poaching, and you're catching animals that the state cherishes and protects. ”

The suspect was weak-hearted, but he still defended himself, "I just went up the mountain to catch a few birds, I didn't know it was a protected animal." ”

"Wild peacocks are so precious, don't you know they are protected animals? Besides, there are warning signs everywhere in the Phoenix Valley that 'no wild bird hunting', don't you see? It's not been a day or two that our police have been keeping an eye on you poachers......"

"Wait!" Gu Yanan suddenly interrupted policeman Xiao Li's words, "Phoenix Valley? Have you ever been to Phoenix Valley? ”

Suspect: "Phoenix Valley is a scenic area, I won't break the law, right?" ”

Police officer Xiao Li: "It's not illegal to go to the scenic spot, but it's illegal to catch wild protected animals in the scenic spot." ”

Gu Yanan linked several outbreaks of mycobacterium avium disease, teachers and students from Binhai Middle School went to Phoenix Valley for a spring outing a month ago, the couple in Xicheng District went hiking in Phoenix Valley on weekends, and poaching suspects also went to Phoenix Valley.

Phoenix Valley is the nexus of these three outbreaks.

Gu Yanan used his mobile phone to call up the electronic map of Phoenix Valley and put it in front of the suspect, "You are now infected with Mycobacterium avium, and it is very likely to be a new type of Mycobacterium avium, know the rumors of Binhai Middle School, this is not leprosy, but it is worse than leprosy, there is already a teacher in the ICU, there is a danger to life, our CDC must find the source of infection, otherwise there will be more people whose lives are in danger, including you."

Now, it's important that you mark the route you've taken in the Phoenix Valley, and the more carefully you mark it, the easier it will be for us to find the source of infection. ”

The police asked for details that they didn't ask for a long time, and the suspect told Gu Yanan all of them, including the route he took every time he entered Phoenix Valley, the location of the camp, the animals he came into contact with, the location of the wild birds he caught, and even the place where the captured wild animals were sold.

Nan Hanfei looked at Gu Yanan and the suspect's questions and answers from the side, and was very pleased, her work content was different from his, but the essence of her work was so similar, epidemiology and detective science were integrated at this time.

After questioning the suspect, Gu Yanan questioned the students of Binhai Middle School and the couples in Xicheng District, who also lived in the infection department, to find out the scope and route of their activities in the Phoenix Valley.

All of the patients had been to a forest with a huge bird's nest deep in the Phoenix Valley.

The rest of the flow went well.

Gu Yanan led a team to find a forest with a huge bird's nest in the Phoenix Valley, and took samples back to the CDC laboratory for testing.

Mycobacterium avium has been detected in guano in a grove of giant birds' nests, and it is a new type of Mycobacterium avium.

There are nearly 30 serotypes of Mycobacterium avium, and this time the isolation of Mycobacterium avium from Guano in Phoenix Valley and Binhai Middle School, Xicheng District Lovers, and poachers is a new serotype.

After drug susceptibility experiments, the allergy medicine of the new Mycobacterium avium was found, and Mr. Wang and several other infected patients were successfully discharged from the hospital, as long as they took the allergy medicine for a period of time according to the doctor's instructions.

As for the huge bird's nest forest in Phoenix Valley, warning signs have also been erected by the CDC:

The big headline is "Biological Danger, Don't Approach".

Sub-heading: "Natural foci of zoonotic Mycobacterium avium".
