Chapter 22: New Blisters

Wang Xiaoxiao said: "Spring is the season to eat wormwood, pick some wormwood shoots around the Dragon Boat Festival, can be used to make soup, boiled eggs, cold salad can also be eaten, the taste is very good, dried wormwood can be used to make wormwood baba, this is a very famous snack in our local area, wormwood can also be used to soak in water and bathe after drying, anyway, there are many effects." ”

Gao Fei asked Zhou Jie, "Old Zhou, when did you go?" How did I not know? I'm usually on business trips with you. ”

Zhou Jie glanced at Gao Fei and said, "Didn't you come a year later than Lu Li?" Just one spring before the year you came. ”

"Oh, that's it, Elder Zhou has to remember to take me with him next time he goes, and I want to eat that wormwood poop too."

"Let's go to work seriously, not to play in the mountains and rivers, and you call me that." Zhou Jie's tone pretended to be solemn, "When you use me, it's Zhou Lao, and when you don't need it, it's Lao Zhou, Gao Fei, why are you so realistic." ”

Gao Fei scratched his head and said with a smile: "Isn't this familiar with you Zhou Lao, I can be polite with other people." ”

"Flim tongue, I will take you with me next time, just with your height and weight, I can do the work of two people."

"Hehe, it's also the amount of food for two people."

The four of them were talking about Qingcheng Mountain being developed into a tourist area, when the phone on Gu Yanan's desk suddenly rang.

Gu Yanan answered the phone, and his face gradually became solemn.

Wang Xiaoxiao watched from the side and muttered in a low voice, "As soon as Sister Yanan has this expression, there is an epidemic." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Yanan hung up the phone, he said to Lu Li: "Lu Li, follow me to the People's Hospital." ”

Lu Li didn't say anything, quickly packed his things, and prepared to go to the hospital with Gu Yanan.

Wang Xiaoxiao asked: "Sister Yanan, is there an epidemic again?" ”

Gu Yanan picked up the commonly used sampling box and said as he walked out the door, "Suspicious, not sure yet, we need to go to the scene to take a look and take samples by the way." ”

"Is it a patient?"

"Hmm."

"If there is a suspected epidemic, it is usually sent to us by the hospital for sampling, why did we let someone from the CDC go to the hospital for sampling in person this time?"

"This time is special, and the hospital cannot determine the general direction of the pathogen, which is caused by infection or other poisons, so we need to go to the scene to see the specific symptoms of the patient."

"Oh."

Wang Xiaoxiao also wanted to go to the scene, but there were already two people who went to the scene, and too many people didn't need it, so Wang Xiaoxiao wanted to talk and stopped.

Gu Yanan looked at Wang Xiaoxiao's expression and knew Wang Xiaoxiao's thoughts, "This time I just went to sample, I will come back soon, and I will take you next time I go to the scene for investigation." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded like pounding garlic, "Thank you, Director Gu, I will go to the laboratory now to prepare, no matter what pathogen or poison, microbial and physical and chemical tests are all prepared first." ”

——

Lianhai First People's Hospital, Department of Infectious Diseases.

Gu Yanan and Lu Li carried the sampling box and stood in the corridor of the hospital's infectious disease department.

Gu Jiashu is in the doctor's office, discussing treatment plans with several doctors in the infectious disease department.

Gu Yanan symbolically knocked on the door.

Xiao Zhang, a doctor from the Department of Infectious Diseases, was facing the door, and when he saw Gu Yanan, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Director Gu is here, and there are experts from the CDC, so please give us advice." ”

Before Gu Yanan came, he only listened to a rough idea on the phone, and learned that there were five patients transferred from Qingcheng County People's Hospital to Lianhai First People's Hospital, all of whom were employees of the Binhai Tourism Development Company.

The local Qingcheng County Hospital could not diagnose the cause, and the patient's symptoms continued to worsen, so he was transferred to the First People's Hospital of Lianhai City.

Because of the collective onset, the hospital suspected that the disease was contagious, so it contacted the CDC to use CDC resources to further determine the cause.

Gu Yanan: "I want to look at the medical records of the five patients first, and then go to the ward to see their symptoms. ”

Gu Jiashu was holding a stack of medical records in his hand, and when he heard this, he put the stack of medical records in Gu Yanan's hand, and said, "All the medical records are here." ”

Gu Yanan flipped through all the medical records, and Lu Li stood beside him, looking at the medical records at the same time.

While looking at Gu Yanan's medical records, Gu Jiashu said: "It has been three days since they became ill, and the course of the disease has progressed rapidly, and there is a secondary infection, and now I don't know the cause, so I can only treat the symptoms." ”

After reading it, Gu Yanan put down the medical record, "Let's go to the ward and have a look." ”

Inside the hospital room.

A young man in his twenties was lying on a hospital bed, his eyes red and swollen, half-squinted, and his hands and arms wrapped in gauze.

As soon as the doctors entered the ward, the young man suddenly half-sat up, and with a "wow" sound, he vomited all over the floor, and even the sheets were covered with a lot of vomit.

The nurse wore gloves and masks and hurriedly came to clean up.

Lu Li asked in a low voice, "Doesn't he have relatives to accompany him?" Why are only nurses here. ”

Xiao Zhang, a doctor from the infectious disease department, replied: "First of all, this is the isolation ward of the infectious disease department, and people are generally not allowed to visit at close range to prevent cross-infection, and this patient's family is not local, he only works for the coastal tourism development company, and he has no relatives around." ”

Lu Li's face was hot, and he felt that he had asked another stupid question, he had been with Gu Yanan for two years, and he had appeared on the scene many times, but he didn't expect to ask such a question.

Lu Li muttered in his heart: Sister Yanan won't think I'm stupid, the infectious disease department of the People's Hospital has also come many times, and she should know the rules of the infectious disease department, and she will ask this kind of question.

Gu Yanan didn't seem to care about Lu Li's words, but instructed Lu Li: "Collect the patient's vomit first." ”

Lu Li put on gloves, opened the material box, and followed the steps to collect the patient's vomit.

Gu Yanan approached the bedside and saw the patient's condition on the bed.

The patient's hands are blackened with black spots, and there are blisters on the arms, which are five to eight centimeters in diameter.

Gu Jiashu: "There are new blisters, this one must be picked, otherwise it will be infected and suppurated." ”

Doctors in the infectious disease department began to treat the wound, picking up the blisters and causing yellow juice to flow out.

Gu Yanan took out the sampling tube from the sampling box, handed it to the doctor in the infectious disease department, and instructed: "Collect the blister fluid." ”

Gu Yanan asked the patient on the hospital bed, "How are you feeling now?" ”

The patient coughed twice, his voice hoarse, "uncomfortable, itchy and painful, his eyes stinging and not wide, and his vision was very blurry." ”

The patient's voice was weak, his speech was a little choppy, and he coughed again for a while before stopping.

Gu Jiashu added: "When the patient was transferred to the hospital, the wound had already developed a secondary infection, and we are using corresponding antibiotics to prevent systemic sepsis. ”

Xiao Zhang, another doctor from the infectious disease department, also said: "Because the initial cause is still unknown, we can only treat the symptoms." ”

Gu Yanan asked the patient again, "When did you start to have these symptoms?" ”
