Wang Peng's mother died within 24 hours of being admitted to the ICU due to an uncontrollable infection.

Wang Peng and his son Wang Fei are also not optimistic.

Wang Peng developed pseudomembranous enteritis, accompanied by systemic poisoning symptoms.

Wang Fei had watery diarrhea, low blood pressure, and severe symptoms of systemic poisoning.

Gu Yanan fed back the results of the CDC laboratory to Gu Jiashu in a timely manner, "Brother, what are you going to do next?" ”

After a brief silence, Gu Jiashu said, "Clostridium difficile is a superbug, and now there is no cure, and recently I have been thinking about ways other than antibiotics. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Defeat bacteria with bacteria."

"Fecal microbiota transplantation?" Gu Yanan suddenly realized.

"Yes, fecal microbiota transplantation is used to treat Clostridium difficile infection, which has a precedent in the world, but our hospital has not done it yet, as long as Wang Peng is willing, he will be the first patient in our city to receive fecal microbiota transplantation."

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

The doctor has already given Wang Peng and Wang Fei several critical illness notices.

Wang Peng is explaining the aftermath to his wife, "It's all because I usually take medicine indiscriminately, which hurts myself, my mother and Feifei, it doesn't matter if I die, it's a pity that the child, I won't treat it, you beg the doctor to let the doctor treat Feifei again, you can't give up ......"

Without waiting for Wang Peng to finish speaking, Gu Jiashu entered the isolation ward in an isolation gown and said, "You don't have to die, don't be in a hurry to explain the future." ”

Wang Peng's wife asked in surprise: "Doctor, are you saying that my husband and son are still saved?" ”

"There is a way to treat your husband and son's current symptoms, a fecal microbiota transplant, which can achieve an 80% success rate."

Wang Peng and his wife were overjoyed, not to mention the 80% cure rate, even if there was a glimmer of hope, they would not give up.

Gu Jiashu explained in detail to Wang Peng and his wife about the process of fecal microbiota transplantation and the precautions required, and after explaining, Wang Peng's wife asked: "Doctor, do you mean to put other people's feces into the intestines of my husband and son, so that they can be cured?" ”

"Yes, you understand well, your husband's long-term use of antibiotics has caused a dysbiosis in his body, producing a superbug that is resistant to all antibiotics, the toxin-producing Clostridium difficile.

Your son has developed a bacterial infection due to a weakened immune system caused by the flu, and one of the deadly superbugs is the toxigenic Clostridium difficile contaminated by your husband in your home environment.

The same is true for your mother-in-law, who has a 10-year history of diabetes, has a destroyed basic immune function, is easily infected by this toxigenic Clostridium difficile, her disease progresses rapidly and she has died, but your husband and son are still saved.

We are now transplanting the normal fecal flora from other people's bodies into their bodies, so that their fecal flora is normal, and their symptoms will naturally disappear. ”

Wang Peng's wife: "Although the method sounds a little disgusting, as long as it works, we will treat it." ”

"Rest assured, we are using an enema to inject feces into the patient's body from below, without going through the upper gastrointestinal tract, so it's okay."

After communicating well with the patient, Gu Jiashu began to contact qualified fecal donors.

Fecal donors generally use close relatives of patients, but Wang Peng's close relatives, who are either dead or sick, are not eligible.

Qualified feces have to go through a series of tests, and the donor must have no infectious diseases, which also requires six or seven thousand yuan.

Gu Jiashu thought of Lu Li, who had just come to donate feces a few days ago, and his feces were qualified, so he called him.

When Lu Li received the call, he immediately agreed when he heard that he was donating to save people.

The next process went smoothly, Lu Li donated feces as required, and Wang Peng and his son received a fecal transplant and were cured and discharged from the hospital a few days later.

The case caused a stir in the hospital and even in the entire city of Lianhai.

Headlines on various websites and major newspapers reported that Gu Jiashu had saved two patients infected with superbugs with fecal transplantation.

For a time, Gu Jiashu became famous.

Lianhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Emergency Office.

Lu Li looked at the report on the Internet that Gu Jiashu used fecal microbiota transplantation to treat diseases and save people, and sighed: "Donating feces to save people has finally been realized, although there is no donor my name on the report, but I still feel that my image is much taller, Wang Xiaoxiao, do you think so too?" ”

Wang smiled: "Well, I think your image is indeed much taller, you saved two people at once, when will you use the money you donated to poop to invite us to dinner?" ”

Lu Li shook his head, "This time I donated to save people, I really donated, I didn't ask for money." ”

Lu Li said proudly and proudly, but Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the news on the Internet and looked a little unhappy.

Lu Li: "I don't have money to invite you to dinner, are you unhappy?" ”

"No, I'm reading the reports on the Internet praising the merits and honors of this fecal microbiota transplant to save people, why didn't anyone write about the abuse of antibiotics that led to the emergence of superbugs?"

Gu Yanan: "Others don't write about our disease control and control, but I'm writing a summary report on the emergence of Clostridium difficile superbug caused by the abuse of antibiotics, and I'll send it to Lu Li later." Lu Li sorted out the incident again and made it into a tweet and posted it on the Internet to warn the public. ”

"Okay."

Gu Yanan's summary report on the incident was brief.

Wang Peng's long-term abuse of antibiotics has led to the imbalance of the microflora in the body, and the mutation of Clostridium difficile in the body has proliferated and proliferated in large quantities, producing toxins, causing Wang Peng to have symptoms such as fever and diarrhea.

Clostridium difficile in Wang Peng's body contaminates the surrounding environment.

Wang Peng's mother was infected by toxificent, refractory bacteria in the home environment because of her weak immune system due to long-term diabetes, and died after one day of hospitalization after antibiotic treatment was ineffective.

Wang Peng's son, Wang Fei, was also infected by Clostridium difficile in the home environment because of the flu, a secondary bacterial infection.

Colleagues and friends who have been in contact with Wang Peng have not been infected because of their normal immunity.

Eventually, Wang Peng and his son Wang Fei were cured through fecal microbiota transplantation.

In the commercial street next to the First People's Hospital of Lianhai City, in a café.

According to Gu Yanan's request, Gu Jiashu showed Gu Yanan the detailed information of this treatment of Wang Peng.

At the window of the café, Gu Yanan looked at the information, Gu Jiashu sighed while drinking coffee: "Little sister, you are really studious, you are not a clinician, and you are so interested in clinical treatment options." ”

Gu Yanan didn't raise his head, just stared at the information and responded, "Disease control work is closely related to hospitals, and only by understanding your work can we do our job well." ”

Gu Jiashu put down the coffee in his hand and sighed, "Since Wang Peng's treatment, I have a new title in our hospital 'Doctor who eats feces for patients'. ”

This time, Gu Yanan raised his head and giggled, "This title is really tasteful, but your colleagues should have no malicious intent." ”

"I know they don't mean it, but it's too ugly, and I still like to hear people call me 'Angel in White.'"

Gu Yanan raised his hand and patted his brother on the shoulder, and comforted: "Angel in white, the doctor who eats for patients, no matter which one he is, he is a good doctor who can save people." ”
