Wang Lele's specimen test results came out quickly, and the rabies virus was negative.

Gu Yanan looked at the test report and frowned slightly.

Wang Lele is not infected with the rabies virus, so what is the reason for the symptoms of rabies on his body?

Is it rabies hysteria?

Just as Gu Yanan was deducing several possible causes of Wang Lele in his heart, Gu Jiashu suddenly called.

"Little sister, are the results out?"

"Rabies virus negative, not rabies."

Gu Jiashu on the other end of the phone sighed inadvertently, "Lele's symptoms began to worsen, there were symptoms of liver and kidney failure, and several of Lele's relatives came to the hospital to persuade Lele's parents to give up treatment." ”

Gu Yanan was anxious, "Lele is not rabies, there is hope of being cured, why give up treatment?" Now the key is to find the cause. ”

"Now that I have the test results from your CDC and it is confirmed that it is not rabies, I can explain it to Lele's family, and I will think of other ways to find the cause as soon as possible."

"Brother, what do you need me to help with?"

"Now it is determined that Lele is not rabies, and your miscarriage investigation does not need to be carried out for the time being, judging from Lele's current symptoms, infection is highly suspected, but the specific cause of infection is to be investigated, I will first let the hospital laboratory department do screening, there are pathogens that cannot be screened, and then ask your disease control for help."

After Gu Jiashu hung up the phone, Gu Yanan sat at his desk, thinking about the whole thing, and always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't say what he had overlooked.

With doubts in his heart, Gu Yanan fidgeted, and went to the First People's Hospital with the sampling box.

——

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

Lele's ward.

Gu Jiashu examined Lele again and found that there was a bacterial infection in his body and he was taking antibiotics.

But antibiotics don't work well.

Gu Jiashu frowned.

Lele's parents, grandparents, and grandparents had an argument in the ward.

Lele's father complained to Grandma Wang, "Lele was bitten by a dog, why didn't you tell me?" Even if you don't tell me, you should know what kind of home remedies to take him to get a rabies vaccine? ”

Grandma Wang was silent, just shed tears.

Grandpa Wang spoke for Grandma Wang on the side, "The doctor said that Lele is not rabies, as long as the cause is found, it can be cured." ”

"It's not rabies, Lele's disease may also be related to dog bites, if you can find out earlier, tell me earlier, don't get any home remedies, and come to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, Lele may not be like this."

Gu Yanan suddenly thought of something from the conversation between the family members, walked to the bedside, and carefully observed Lele's situation.

The little boy in the hospital bed was asleep, his body was full of tubes, and although his right eye was closed, there was a reddish-yellow secretion flowing out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Yanan wore gloves and gently opened Lele's right eyelid and wiped the red-yellow secretion with a sterile cotton swab.

As soon as the discharge was wiped away, a reddish-yellow secretion flowed out, and something rust-colored seemed to be wriggling inside the eyelids.

Gu Yanan used tweezers to grip the wriggling lump and gently pulled it out, pulling out a ball of rust-colored cotton thread.

The rust-colored cotton thread wriggled under the tweezers, and it turned out to be a living thing.

"Nematodes?!"

Just like the judgment in Gu Yanan's heart just now, it was indeed a parasitic infection.

Looking at the rust-colored parasites wriggling under the tweezers, everyone in the ward was stunned, including Gu Jiashu.

Gu Yanan calmly put the rust-colored wriggling nematode back into the sampling bottle, closed the lid, and put it back in the sampling box.

"Doctor Gu, now that you know the cause, you clinicians can start treating the patient, and I'll go back to the CDC laboratory to see which subspecies of nematode it is, and do an epidemiological investigation of parasitic diseases."

After Gu Yanan left with the sampling box, Gu Jiashu re-ordered the doctor and gave Lele a full body examination.

It was found that Lele had nematode parasites in his eyes, brain, heart, and kidneys.

The nematode parasitic in the eye blinded Lele's right eye and kept bleeding pus.

The nematodes parasitic on the brain cause Lele to have nervous symptoms such as convulsions and mania.

The nematodes parasitic on the heart and kidneys cause Lele to have heart and kidney and other organ failure.

Soon, the little nurse took a few white pills and gave them to Lele.

Lele's mother: "Doctor, just take a few pills, my family will be fine?" ”

"Well, after taking anthelmintic medicine, after a course of treatment, Lele should be able to be discharged from the hospital."

Under the microscope, the nematode appearance taken from Lele's eye is even more obvious.

Rust-colored slender body with a protruding head.

Judging from the appearance and shape, it should be a jaw nematode.

Gu Yanan asked Wang Xiaoxiao to do PCR experiments again, and determined that this nematode was indeed a nematode from the molecular biology level.

Wang Xiaoxiao took the PCR test results back to the emergency office and handed them to Gu Yanan.

"Sister Yanan, this turned out to be a jaw nematode infection, there are not a few cases of this disease in the country a year, it is really rare, how did the patient get infected?"

"It could be eating undercooked fish with parasites, or eating undercooked frogs and snakes with parasites, or putting the skin of a frog with parasites on a wound......"

"Wait, Sister Yanan, what did you just say? Sticking a wound with frog skin? Who is so weird? ”

"As far as the patient's grandmother is concerned, let's not say that this practice is strange or not, since it is confirmed that it is a parasitic infection, the next step is to do an epidemiological investigation, who will go to the patient's home with me?"

"I'll go!"

"I'll go too!"

Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao responded with colleagues.

——

The western suburbs of Lianhai City, the junction of urban and rural areas, Wangjia Village.

Wang Lele's home.

Gu Yanan, Lu Li, and Wang Xiaoxiao drove the CDC's on-site flow shunting and parked at the door of Wang Lele's house.

Because it is in the suburbs, the view is wide, and the red tiled house is located at the east end of the village, which is very conspicuous.

Gu Yanan contacted Wang Lele's family in advance before coming, and Wang Lele's father was already waiting at home at this time.

Gu Yanan told Wang's father that people from the CDC would take samples of his surroundings and what had been used in the house.

Among them is the big yellow dog of Wang Lelejia.

Before coming, Gu Yanan was worried that the big yellow dog in the countryside would not cooperate with the sampling, and when he arrived at Lele's house, he found that the big yellow dog had been beaten to death by Lele's father.

Lele's father pointed to the big yellow dog that died in the yard and explained to Gu Yanan, "My family Lele is sick, probably because of this big yellow dog, you can't let it live anymore, and your CDC will take this dog away." ”

"The whole one doesn't have to be, just take some samples and take them away, the main thing is to test whether it carries parasites, if the big yellow dog is infected by parasites, it is possible to transmit the parasites to Lele in the process of biting Lele."

After a brief sampling, Gu Yanan's eyes focused on the pond outside Lelejia's backyard.

The weather has been warm in recent days, and the ice in the pond has melted.

The shallow surface of the pond ripples in the breeze.

Gu Yanan stood by the pond with a shovel borrowed from Lelejia in his hand.

Lu Li stood beside Gu Yanan, "Sister Yanan, you don't want to go down to the pond to dig hibernating frogs, right?" ”
