The red thread that spreads all over the body is a strange disease.

Li Xiaohua had the impression that a strange illness could also be equated with a serious illness, so she discussed with her husband worriedly, "Take you to the hospital to have a look, if you are sick, you have to treat it early, we don't know what disease we have now, let the doctor take a look at it." ”

Sha Hongyu wanted to take a break and then go to work in the fields in the afternoon, but now he was very uncomfortable, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, go to the county hospital, be closer to home, and take a bus at the head of the village." ”

There is a road leading to the county seat 1 km from the entrance of Shajia Village, where there is a bus stop, and four or five buses pass through there every day.

Sha Hongyu and his family waited here early, got on a bus, and rushed to Yuntai County Hospital.

——

Yuntai County Hospital, outpatient room.

The patient was a young male doctor in his 20s.

Sha Hongyu talked about his symptoms, and took the initiative to lift his clothes to show the doctor the red lines on his stomach, arms and legs.

The young doctor looked at it and said to himself, "The symptoms of skin diseases, as well as the swelling and pain all over the body, go and check the blood first." ”

opened the order, and asked Sha Hongyu to pay for the inspection.

After paying the money and preparing to draw blood, Sha Hongyu unexpectedly met a villager from the same village, who also saw a doctor here.

The two sides chatted and found that the two people had similar symptoms.

Sha Hongyu had a red line on his body, his whole body was swollen and sore, and the same was true of the person in the same village, and there was another symptom - fever.

The symptoms are similar, isn't it the same disease?

Is it an infectious disease?

Li Xiaohua asked the people in the same village, "You came early, what did the doctor say you were sick?" ”

"I came yesterday and the doctor had me do several tests, first saying it was hives and sending me to dermatology, then it was eosinophilia and I was transferred to the hematology department. How is the situation of your family Hongyu? ”

"The doctor didn't say anything, so he asked me to pay for the examination first." The more Li Xiaohua said, the more worried she became, because she also had some red lines on her stomach, which just appeared a few days ago, and occasionally a little itchy, but she didn't care about it at the time, but now it seems that the red lines on her body are just early symptoms, and the more she goes on, the more severe the symptoms will be.

After accompanying her husband Sha Hongyu to draw blood and get the test results, the two returned to the consultation room just now and found the attending doctor.

The young doctor looked at the test sheet, "Eosinophilia, it is recommended that you hang up to a hematology specialist clinic, and you are swollen all over, there may be kidney problems, red lines on the skin, and edema of the subcutaneous tissue may be the cause of urticaria, allergies...... May be related to blood diseases......"

What is the young doctor still talking about, Li Xiaohua's head is already clouded, it sounds like hematology and granulocytosis, it can't be blood cancer, right?

Still have kidney problems?

Hemopathy...... Allergic...... Kidney problems......

So serious?

Li Xiaohua suddenly interrupted the doctor, lifted her clothes, revealed the red line on her belly, and said nervously, "Doctor, I also have a red line on my body, could it be that my husband infected me?" ”

The young male doctor frowned, he had just finished his internship, and he had been staying in a small hospital, and he had not seen many cases, but he still knew that blood diseases, kidney problems, allergies, etc. were not contagious.

Isn't it poisoned?

The young doctor asked Sha Hongyu a few more questions, what kind of food do you usually eat? Have you been exposed to toxic substances? Have you ever been bitten by a venomous snake or insect?

Li Xiaohua answered all the questions very cooperatively, "The usual meals are the same as before, the rice and vegetables are all home-grown, rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and the like.

There are a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects around our house, but I have not been bitten, at most I have been bitten by mosquitoes a few times, and I have often been bitten by mosquitoes in previous years, and there have been no problems.

As for toxic substances...... Probably not, our family lives on the edge of the fairy lake, which is very safe. ”

After asking all the questions, nothing suspicious was found.

The young male doctor couldn't see anything wrong, so he could only treat the symptoms, treat the red lines and edema on his body according to urticaria, prescribe some anti-allergic medicines, and instructed the two to take it for a period of time to see the effect, and if the symptoms worsened, they would come back for a follow-up.

I took the medicine out of the county hospital, and when I got home, it was already dark.

After taking anti-allergy medicine and applying ointment according to the doctor's instructions, the symptoms did not only not lessen, but became more and more severe in the middle of the night.

In addition to the increasing swelling on Sha Hongyu's body, he also had a low-grade fever.

The red thread on Li Xiaohua's belly also spread to the roots of her arms and thighs overnight.

Early in the morning of the second day, the two of them took a bus to the county hospital for a follow-up visit.

This time, it was an older male doctor who looked at the test report and suspected that it was a parasitic infection, so he asked the two to have their blood checked again.

The results were quick and showed positive circulating antibodies to cysticerci and schistosomiasis.

The older doctor got the test results and said to the two with certainty, "It's a parasite, I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and go back and take it according to the course of treatment." ”

The doctor prescribed oral praziquantel therapy to the two according to the parasite treatment for cysticerci infection.

The follow-up took different medicines home, and after two days of eating, the symptoms still did not decrease, and there was a tendency to worsen.

The medicine prescribed by the follow-up doctor was not finished, and the two discussed it, feeling that the level of doctors in the county hospital was limited and unreliable, so they decided to go to the best hospital in the city instead.

——

The First People's Hospital of Lianhai City, outpatient building.

Gu Jiashu's office.

Sha Hongyu and Li Xiaohua took the information they had received from the county hospital before, hung up Gu Jiashu's number, and were being examined in the clinic at this time.

After reading the previous examination materials, Gu Jiashu carefully checked the symptoms of the two of them.

Based on the current examination data and symptoms, it is likely to be a parasitic infection, but the specific parasitic infection needs to be further confirmed.

Gu Jiashu arranged for two people to be hospitalized and admitted to the infectious disease department, followed by various examinations.

As soon as Sha Hongyu and his family were arranged, another patient came to the clinic, in his 40s, with dark skin, he put a stack of materials on the table in front of Gu Jiashu, and began to talk about his experience, "Doctor, I have been to several hospitals, but I haven't found out what the disease is, you must help me, I know that you are an expert in the entire Lianhai City, and you will definitely be able to find out what my disease is." ”

But looking at the patient in front of him, although he has dark skin, there is a sickly black inside, which is not as simple as ordinary tanning.

Gu Jiashu looked through the information he brought, and listened to the patient continue, "My surname is Yang, my name is Yang Kangdi, I live in Binhai District, Lianhai City, and I am a native of the city.

In January this year, my left arm began to swell, and the skin color began to darken, but I didn't have a fever, but the joint hurt, and I felt very stiff in the morning, so I went to the district hospital for examination, and the doctor said it was a parasitic infection, and prescribed me a medicine, which is called praziquantel.

Later, I was transferred to another hospital, where I was admitted to the hematology department, and I also had a bone marrow aspiration and postoperative examination, and it was said that the bone marrow was like eosinophilia, and I was advised to be tested for allergens and parasites.

After that, I was transferred to the infectious disease department of their hospital, and I also did an MRI, saying that my left forearm muscles and wrist tendon signals were abnormal, there was fluid accumulation, and there were inflammatory lesions, and then I was given fake prednisolone tablets, and after eating for many days, the rash on my body was cured, and the blood test was normal.

But a few days after I was discharged from the hospital, I started to feel sick again, and when I went back for a follow-up, they hospitalized me again, and I thought that the hospital was unreliable, so I came here to try. ”
