Chapter 282: Intentional Concealment

Grandpa Li and his little grandson Lele on the hospital bed looked at each other at the same time, and after a moment of eye contact, Grandpa Li shook his head, "No, we only bought two small fish." ”

Grandma Li was very unhappy, and reprimanded Uncle Li in a low voice with her temper, "What time is it now, why don't you tell the truth?" There are two budgies on the balcony at home, aren't they the ones you bought from the flower and bird market? ”

"What parrot?" Daughter-in-law questioned.

Grandma Li explained angrily, "Last time Lele's kindergarten didn't let you take small animals to go, Lele said that he liked birds, but you asked him to buy small fish, his grandfather bought him two budgies privately, let him take them to the kindergarten, who knows that on Monday morning to send, two parrots died when school was out of school in the evening, and his grandfather went to the flower and bird market to buy two for Lele, and now the two newly bought budgies are still raised on my balcony." ”

It's budgies again, and dead budgies.

Could it be another Chlamydia psittaci infection? And it's a cluster.

"Where did you buy parrots from?"

"Qingheyuan Flower and Bird Market near the community."

"Did the budgie that was brought to the kindergarten die in the kindergarten?"

"Well, everyone in the children has caught a budgie to play with, and I don't know who pinched it to death." Lele replied weakly.

"What about the carcass of the budgies? How was it handled? ”

"Throw it in the trash can in the kindergarten."

Gu Yanan suddenly thought of the unexplained fever cluster case in Xiaohonghua Kindergarten in Dongcheng District, and hurriedly asked, "Which kindergarten are you in?" ”

"Little Red Flower Kindergarten."

Gu Yanan felt that things were very bad, and Chlamydia psittaci felt that it was basically sporadic cases, but now it seems that it has caused a cluster of cases.

In order to verify, Gu Yanan left the ward and immediately contacted Lu Li.

"Lu Li, how is your situation at the Little Red Flower Kindergarten?"

Lu Li was a little out of breath, "I just came back from Xiaohonghua Kindergarten, and I collected samples of the environment around the sick class, and I am sending them to the laboratory." ”

"Last Monday, the sick class asked the children to bring small animals to class, including two budgies."

Lu Li on the other end of the phone was extremely surprised, "Sister Yanan, you weren't at the scene of the investigation just now, how did you know that there were two budgies?" ”

"It's a long story, I'm in the People's Hospital now, and I just met one of the children who got sick in the kindergarten, he is now seriously pneumonia, living in the infectious disease ward, and he brought two budgies to the kindergarten."

"You mean Li Lele?"

Judging from Lu Li's reaction, Gu Yanan knew that he had already asked for some clues in the kindergarten.

"It's Li Lele, his grandfather still has two budgies at home, and both grandparents are hospitalized at the same time, I'm going to Li Lele's house now, what is the result of your investigation?"

"Wang Xiaoxiao and I took samples at Xiaohonghua Kindergarten, and then went to the homes of several sick children to take samples of their home environment, and now we are waiting for the results of the laboratory.

However, according to my speculation, the biggest suspect is the two parrots that Li Lele brought to the kindergarten to get sick and died.

I asked the kindergarten teacher that the dead parrots were thrown in the trash and picked up by the garbage truck the next morning, and now the two dead parrots should have gone to the landfill.

No other clues could be found, but the source of the infection could continue to be traced from where Li Lele bought the parrot. ”

Gu Yanan agrees with Lu Li's speculation.

"I have asked Li Lele, the place where they buy budgies is in the Qingheyuan Flower and Bird Market near the community where Li Lele lives, and I also have the specific store address here, I will send it to your mobile phone, you and Wang Xiaoxiao, and Zhou Lao will go to the Qingheyuan Flower and Bird Market to inspect the birds and the environment there, and when necessary, take samples of bird breeders, and pay attention to protection."

Xinghai Garden Community, the home of Li Lele's grandfather.

Grandma Li opened the door, and Gu Yanan entered the investigation.

On the balcony of Grandpa Li's house, there are indeed two budgies.

In the delicate bird cage, two parrots are listless.

Grandma Li stood far away from the balcony, pointed to the birdcage on the balcony, and said to Gu Yanan, "It's those two budgies, the two who died before were also kept in this cage, and I also cleaned up the bird droppings, added water, and added food to them every day, if it's really a problem with parrots, why haven't I got sick?" ”

Gu Yanan wore a mask and gloves to approach the bird cage, and explained to Grandma Li while observing, "Even if there is a pathogen, because everyone's immunity is different and the chance of infection is different, Chlamydia psittaci is easy to infect the elderly and children with weak immunity." ”

"My wife just had stomach surgery in the first half of the year, and my grandson also had a cold for two weeks some time ago, and both grandchildren were not in good health, but I didn't expect to raise two birds and almost lost my life."

Gu Yanan took down the bird cage from the balcony shelf and told Grandma Li, "I will take these two budgies and the bird cage with me." ”

Grandma Li wished that the people from the disease control would take away all the things related to the disease, "Okay, you can take whatever you want, in addition to the bird cage, I also have bird food for the birds here, and I will give it all to you, and you can see if there are other things on my balcony that need to be taken away for inspection, just bring it." ”

Gu Yanan sealed the bird cage with a large sampling bag, collected environmental samples in various corners of the balcony, and then disinfected Grandma Li's house with the disinfectant she brought.

Next to Xinghai Community, Qingheyuan Flower and Bird Market.

Lu Li, Wang Xiaoxiao, Gao Fei and Zhou Lao found the faΓ§ade of "Zhang Yongfa Flower and Bird Wholesale".

The boss, Zhang Yongfa, was greeting customers when he suddenly saw a group of people from the disease control and control team breaking in wearing protective clothing.

The customers in the store were taken aback and talked about it.

"Mom, who are these? Dressed so strangely, like those guys in Resident Evil. ”

"Look at the box they are carrying has a logo on it, CDC, it seems to be from the CDC."

"It's probably not good for the CDC people to come, there can't be any infectious diseases here, right?"

……

Seeing the reaction of the customers, Lu Li muttered in his heart: This is the most basic protective equipment, like those high-end protective clothing has not been worn, if you wear positive pressure protective clothing, it will be even more scary.

The boss boldly walked to the front and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you break into my store? ”

Zhou Lao showed his work card, "We are from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and now we suspect that this is related to an outbreak of Chlamydia psittaci, and we need to sample the scene, please cooperate." ”

"What? What is a parrot suit? What's that? Is it serious? ”

The boss had never heard the term Chlamydia psittaci, but he had seen a lot of parrots.

Zhou Lao explained to the boss, "Chlamydia psittaci is the pathogen that causes psittacosis, which is also commonly known as bird plague or bird plague. ”

The boss suddenly remembered the large number of parrots that had died in his store a few days ago, and his face was a little pale, but he thought that there were still many customers here, and if he let the customers know that there was an outbreak of bird plague in his store, who else would want to buy them?

The boss defended himself, "There is no bird plague in my store, and besides, isn't your disease control only a matter of people?" Why do you even have to take care of the affairs of birds and beasts? ”
