Chapter 218: A Bug

Anterior chamber puncture to remove part of the aqueous humor and immediately send it to the laboratory for testing.

While waiting for the results of the laboratory tests, Gu Qingcen got the news from nowhere and rushed to the hospital.

Outside the ophthalmology clinic, Gu Qingcen greeted Nan Hanfei, Lu Li, and Wang Xiaoxiao, who were waiting there.

Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Qingcen, and she slapped Lu Li beside her with her elbow, "Look, when Sister Yanan was hospitalized for Ebola virus infection, the handsome guy who often came to take care of her came here again." ”

Lu Li: "Well, I saw it when I went to Sister Yanan's parents' house two days ago, he lived upstairs, he was a neighbor, I heard that it seems to be a childhood sweetheart with Sister Yanan, and it was because of Sister Yanan that he returned to the country." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao's voice was smaller and more gossipy, "My childhood sweetheart and my current boyfriend both came to the hospital, do you think they will fight for Sister Yanan?" ”

Lu Li is the same, "Didn't you say that Captain Nan and Sister Yanan were pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend before?" So Sister Yanan should be single now, and both of them still have a chance. ”

Here Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao whispered gossip, and over there Gu Qingcen took the initiative to greet Nan Hanfei, "How is Yanan?" ”

"An eye exam is underway, and the results are not yet available."

Wang Xiaoxiao stared at the two people who were talking, feeling that the atmosphere was delicate.

The two only said two words, and the scene cooled down again.

Gu Jiashu got the test report from the hospital's laboratory department as quickly as possible, and returned to the ophthalmology clinic with a heavy face.

As soon as Gu Qingcen saw Gu Jiashu, he immediately rushed forward, "Brother Jiashu, how are Yanan's test results?" ”

"It's not good, Yanan has detected live Ebola virus in the aqueous humor of his eyes."

Gu Jiashu's voice was neither loud nor small, and all the people around him could hear it clearly.

Lu Li asked in surprise: "Wasn't the Ebola virus in Sister Yanan's body completely cleared when she was discharged from the hospital last time?" How can there still be in the eyes? Is there a risk of contagion? ”

Gu Yanan has been to many places since she was last discharged from the hospital, and the people she has been most in contact with are her family and work colleagues, and if there is a risk of infection, everyone is at risk.

Gu Jiashu: "There is no Ebola virus detected in Yanan's tears, and the reason why the Ebola virus in the aqueous water of her eye has not been cleared may be due to the unique immune isolation system of her eye, which is not infectious in ordinary life contact, but she still needs isolation and treatment." ”

More than a month after being discharged from the hospital, Gu Yanan was admitted to the isolation ward of the infectious disease unit.

Gu Jiashu contacted Gu Yanan's previous medical team to discuss treatment options.

Steroid drugs, as well as monoclonal antibodies against the Ebola virus that were left over from previous treatments, were repurposed to treat Gu Yanan's eye disease.

Gu Yanan received antiviral treatment in the ward, and outside the isolation ward, Gu Yanan's parents, Gu Qingcen, Nan Hanfei, and Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao in the emergency office were all waiting anxiously.

Gu Jiashu comforted her parents, "My little sister survived the Ebola virus infection all over her body before, but now she is only a little sequelae, and there is still some live Ebola virus left in her eyes, which will be cured soon according to the previous treatment plan, so don't worry too much." ”

Gu's mother asked cautiously, "Aunt Hua of Huaguo Yunwu Tea House in Huaguo Village fell ill a few days ago, and in the past two days, the people in the tea village and the village have successively got similar diseases, I heard that it is also a virus infection, is it because of the Ebola virus?" Did we get sick because we took Yanan to Aunt Hua? ”

Gu Jiashu explained, "The epidemic in Huaguo Village has nothing to do with Xiaomei's illness, and the sick villagers have been tested before, and the Ebola virus is negative. ”

Gu's father and Gu's mother's hearts were temporarily settled, but Gu Yanan was very anxious in her heart, not because of her own illness, but about the epidemic in Huaguo Village.

The pathogen of the epidemic and the transmission route have not been found, and she herself is sick in the emergency team and can't help much, Zhou Lao and Gao Fei went to other places to participate in academic exchanges, and only two young people, Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao, were left in the emergency office, and there was a serious shortage of manpower.

Gu Yanan arranged tasks for Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao, who were guarding outside the isolation ward, through a video call.

Nan Hanfei, Gu Qingcen and Gu Jiashu were also outside the isolation ward.

Lu Li frowned, "There are a lot of things to do." ”

Nan Hanfei: "I can help investigate the situation of the first case, Zhang Lishan. ”

Zhang Lishan is the party in charge of the case by Nan Hanfei, it is indeed more convenient for him to investigate, and Nan Hanfei has a medical background, which he once told Yanan, so Gu Yanan is more relieved.

Gu Qingcen: "I can help, go and do the flow of Huaguo Village." ”

Gu Yanan knows more about Gu Qingcen in the past, the two studied the same major, and in the 7 years that the two have not been in contact, Gu Qingcen said that he is a doctor without borders, and he has participated in countless epidemic investigations, and it is also a good choice for him to help do on-site investigations.

In addition to taking care of Gu Yanan's side, Gu Jiashu also has to deal with the patients who broke out in the infectious disease department.

Gu Jiashu's diagnosis of patients and the investigation of the epidemic are also very important.

Gu Jiashu, Gu Yanan, Lu Li, Wang Xiaoxiao, Nan Hanfei and Gu Qingcen, a temporary emergency team of 6 people was initially established.

Gu Yanan commanded remotely, Gu Jiashu was in charge of clinical patients, and others were in charge of on-site flow investigation.

Then everyone went their separate ways.

Nan Hanfei retrieved Zhang Lishan's autopsy report, one of which caught his attention.

A tick was found behind Zhang Lishan's ear.

Nan Hanfei immediately told Gu Yanan in the isolation ward about this discovery.

Tick bites, fever, thrombocytopenia, bleeding symptoms......

Connecting all the clues together, a name appeared in Gu Yanan's mind - fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome.

A disease caused by a new type of bunyavirus.

This disease is transmitted through tick bites, commonly known as tick disease, which has appeared in China for a few years and is a new type of zoonotic disease.

Gu Yanan told Gu Jiashu the news, and at the same time notified colleagues in the CDC laboratory to test the patient's specimens for the new bunyavirus.

The results were quick and the new bunyavirus was detected in the patient's blood sample.

The causative agent is identified, and the next treatment and investigation of the disease has a direction.

Although there is no specific antiviral drug for the treatment of this new bunyavirus, according to previous clinical experience, the treatment with corresponding antibiotics, such as doxycycline, has a certain therapeutic effect, and Gu Jiashu changed the treatment plan in time.

Gu Qingcen, Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao drove the on-site shunting car to Huaguo Village to investigate.

On the way there, Wang Xiaoxiao tentatively looked at Gu Qingcen, "Teacher Gu, what is your opinion on this on-site investigation?" ”

In view of Gu Qingcen's rich previous experience and his relationship with Gu Yanan, Wang Xiaoxiao felt that he was not very familiar with him, so he used the honorific title "Teacher Gu".
