Soon, Lele's rabies rapid test results were passed to Gu Jiashu.

Looking at the report, Gu Jiashu frowned slightly.

The rapid test report from the hospital's laboratory department was negative for rabies virus.

Is it a problem with the rapid test reagent? False negatives?

Or is Lele not rabies at all?

If it's not rabies, then what is causing Lele's current symptoms?

——

Lianhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Emergency Office.

Gu Yanan turned on the computer early in the morning and found that a reported infectious disease information popped up in the system.

A suspected case of rabies was found in the First People's Hospital.

Just as he was about to call to verify the situation, Gu Yanan's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Caller ID brother Gu Yoshiki.

"Little sister, did I see the news of the suspected rabies case I reported on the infectious disease network?"

"I just saw it, and I was about to send someone over to verify."

"The patient's rapid test results in our hospital laboratory have come out, the rabies virus is negative, and the experimental results ruled out rabies, but the clinical symptoms are highly suspected of rabies, and the patient has been bitten by a dog a month ago, I suspect that it is a problem with the experimental method, your disease control can do a confirmatory experiment on rabies virus, and I will send the specimens over."

"If there is a negative result, it may also be a problem with sampling, so let's go over and look at the patient's condition, and take a sample and bring it back for testing by the way."

Gu Yanan packed up the sampling box and prepared to go to the hospital, Lu Li heard the phone and asked, "Sister Yanan, do you have another task?" ”

"Well, the People's Hospital reported a suspected case of rabies, and I went to see the situation and came back by the way."

Lu Li frowned, remembering the scene when he went to the scene of the rabies deceased last time.

It was still half a year ago, also in the First People's Hospital, an old man in his 60s who was guarding the factory was bitten by a big wolfdog in the factory, and died of a rabies attack a month later, and his body was parked in the morgue of the People's Hospital.

The family members made trouble in the hospital and asked the doctor to issue a certificate that the old man had died of rabies, and the family members had to take this certificate to the court to sue and sue the factory for compensation.

However, at that time, the situation in the People's Hospital was only clinically diagnosed, and there was no basis for laboratory diagnosis, so the rabies diagnosis certificate was not given.

The family was making trouble in the hospital, and they happened to meet someone from the CDC to do an epidemiological investigation of the death case, and someone reminded the family that the CDC laboratory could confirm rabies, and of course it could also issue a rabies confirmatory certificate, so the family found Gu Yanan, who was in charge of the scene at that time.

Gu Yanan promised that as long as the results came out and it was determined that it was a rabies virus infection, a relevant certificate could be issued, and the family took the initiative to donate all the brain tissue of the old man for scientific research in order to express their gratitude.

Lu Li still remembers the scene of taking the whole brain tissue of the deceased at that time.

In the empty and gloomy morgue, the skull of the deceased was sawed open with a chainsaw, and after all the brain tissue was removed, the scalp was sutured so that there were no traces of movement from the appearance, and then the entire brain tissue was transported back to the CDC laboratory in a biosafety transport box.

A few days later, Lu Li and Gu Yanan isolated a wild strain of rabies virus from the old man's brain tissue sample, conducted sequence analysis of the strain, and published several articles related to it in a good magazine, naming the strain after the geographical location of the old man.

Lu Li: "Sister Yanan, do you want to take samples in person, is it the patient's family who wants to take the initiative to donate brain tissue specimens?" ”

Gu Yanan was stunned for a moment with the sampling box, and shook his head, "The patient is still alive, and it is only a suspected rabies case, I went to take samples, just to get the specimen back and confirm it." ”

"Oh, so, why don't I go?"

"No, Zhou Lao, Gao Fei and Wang Xiaoxiao all went to the county and district investigation site, you stay in the office to sort out the online reporting system, and then go to the laboratory to prepare the relevant reagents for rabies virus PCR testing, I should be able to come back soon."

——

The First People's Hospital of Lianhai City, Infectious Disease Ward.

The ward of Wang Lele, a patient with a suspected rabies case.

Wang Lele's parents, grandparents, and grandparents are all in the ward.

Gu Yanan instructed nurses to collect samples of Wang Lele's cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, blood, and skin from the back of his neck.

After all the specimens were placed in the sampling box, Gu Yanan asked the patient's family members about some relevant information as usual.

"After Lele was bitten by a dog, did you go to get a rabies vaccine?"

In the face of Gu Yanan's inquiry, Grandma Wang's face was extremely guilty, "Lele was bitten by his own big yellow dog before the Chinese New Year, the wound was very small at that time, only a little skin was broken, I didn't care, I thought it would be good to deal with it according to the previous soil method, I didn't expect it to be like this, I knew it was so, I would definitely take Lele to the CDC for vaccination......"

Grandma Wang wiped her tears as she spoke, and Grandpa Wang, who was standing aside, was also full of guilt.

Lele's mother was sad and desperate, "Lele was bitten by a dog, why didn't you tell me and his father, if we knew, we would definitely take Lele to get vaccinated!" ”

was complained by her daughter-in-law, and Grandma Wang's face was even more heartbroken.

Gu Yanan always thought that Lianhai City's vaccination promotion was in place, but he didn't expect that there would be people who did not go to the CDC for vaccination after being bitten by a dog.

It seems that the promotion of this vaccination needs to be strengthened.

Gu Yanan asked Grandma Wang, "After Lele was bitten by a dog, how did you deal with the wound?" And what is that earthwork you are talking about? ”

"It's to use frog skin to compress the wound, this is a unique remedy, the old generation was bitten by a dog, and they all used frog skin to apply it to get better, and there was no disease."

All the doctors and nurses in the ward were stunned by Grandma Wang's words, and Gu Yanan was the same, and now there are people in this society who still believe in this ancient home remedies, which is really harmful.

Gu Yanan took the opportunity to educate, "After being bitten by a dog, you must be vaccinated against rabies, and in severe cases, you must be injected with anti-rabies virus immunoglobulin." If someone has used it before and has not become ill, then he is just lucky, because the dog that bit him did not carry the rabies virus, so he did not get sick, and this method must not be used in the future, and it should not be spread again. ”

Gu Yanan's words hit the deep-rooted views in Grandma Wang's heart.

"Doctor, are you telling the truth? Are the local remedies of the older generation really so unreliable? ”

"The reliable prescriptions left by our predecessors have been carried forward by modern medicine, and most of the home remedies that are hearsay are unreliable and often harmful."

Grandma Wang blamed herself and nodded again and again, "It's all my fault, I'm not educated, I also heard others say that home remedies work, which hurt my family Lele." ”

Gu Jiashu felt strange, "It's winter, where did you find the frog skin to compress Lele's wounds?" ”

"I have a pond in my backyard with a lot of hibernating frogs, and you can find a few of them by digging and digging them."

Gu Yanan and Gu Jiashu sighed in their hearts that this is the time to dig hibernating frogs in the backyard, and going to the CDC for rabies vaccination is the right way.
