Chapter 20: Diphtheria
So don't look at Du Yuqi's majesty in saving people on the battlefield, he can be called able to snatch people under the hands of death, many people are about to die, and they can turn the corner under him, but he also feels helpless in the face of little Paul's baby at this time, as if he is a mouse pulling a turtle, and he has no way to start. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Forget it, anyway, let's get out first, don't underestimate the energy of those bastards, they may not be able to find out the whereabouts of this kid in other ways! ”
Du Yuqi's mind moved, and he left with the child, he wanted to come, he wanted to go, and no one dared to come to stop him, about three or four hundred meters away, Du Yuqi groaned for a while, and then looked around by the light, and found that the balcony of a family next to him was drying the baby's clothes, so he climbed up with the child three times and five divided by two, and then honestly and unceremoniously turned in.
In the face of Du Yuqi, an uninvited guest, of course, the family would run out and resist frantically, but it was useless, Du Yuqi didn't make them realize the difference in strength between the two sides without much effort, and then threw out a magic gold coin as a lure.
Under the policy of carrots and sticks, the family can only helplessly meet any of Du Yuqi's requests.
So soon, little Paul began to lie on the bed, and there was a slight wheezing sound in his throat, which sounded similar to a dog's barking, although Du Yuqi could not diagnose the cause at this time, but looking at his prostration appearance at this time, he also knew that it was good to infuse a few bags of sugar and salt water into it to replenish body fluids and energy.
After starting the infusion, Du Yuqi beckoned the hostess here again and asked her to change the child's diaper and clean her body, which is why Du Yuqi chose a family with children's clothes outside, he can't do these things by himself, and even if he does, it is mostly difficult to do it in the face of the child's buttocks.
After getting all this, although the hostess was afraid of the infusion method that Du Yuqi made, she still had the courage to kindly get some milk for little Paul, but she couldn't feed it at all, so she spit it out directly, and at the same time Du Yuqi found that the wheezing sound in Little Paul's throat became more and more powerful.
He was about to speak at this time, when he suddenly heard an explosion not far away, which was in the direction of the Cathedral of Eno, so he took three steps and two steps to the window, opened the corner of the curtain and looked into the distance, and immediately found that there was already a raging fire there, and a large man of transformation spewed flames from under his feet, hovering in the air to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
“...... It's really like a maggot on a tarsal bone. Du Yuqi looked at all this with a sneer:
"It's a pity that you're late, and even at this time it's pointless to try to burn down the Cathedral of Eno without leaving anything alive, because the newest Earl of Ratnes is lying in the cradle in front of me. ”
At this time, Du Yuqi called the man and the hostess over again and asked them to look in the direction of the Ino Cathedral:
"That's where I came from, so it's in ruins, so if you don't want to be charred in the fire with your son, then it's best not to tell anyone that I've been here. ”
The faces of the male and female hosts suddenly turned pale, and the eyes that looked at Du Yuqi were also full of fear, and the male host even said incoherently:
"Of course, of course, you don't show up here at all, and when you're gone, I'll throw the diaper that Mr. Paul has changed into the fireplace and burn it! ”
Du Yuqi nodded and said:
"Wise choice, I have one more piece of advice, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, it is best not to use this magic gold coin I gave you immediately, and there should be no problem in a month. ”
At this time, little Paul let out a series of violent coughing sounds, and even the whole person convulsed, and the choking cough sound became more and more like the sound of a dog barking, after hearing this very recognizable voice, two words suddenly flashed in Du Yuqi's mind!
A terrible chill immediately appeared on his spine, as if he had been stabbed with a needle under his buttocks, and then rushed to the cradle, and very brutally broke the child's mouth, and then shone a lamp into it.
The poor new Earl of Ratnes had no way of resisting, and the only protest he could make was to dance his hands in vain and weakly in the air.
Then, Du Yuqi staggered for a moment, and then shook his head as if he felt dizzy, and only then did he stand firm after holding on to the wall next to him, he had clearly seen that the depths of Little Paul's throat were already completely white, and that was because the surface was covered with a strange white membrane.
This is the most typical marker of diphtheria.
On Earth, diphtheria was once a terrible disease with frequent outbreaks of large scales and epidemics, and in 1735-1740 there was an explosive epidemic, which is said to have killed 80% of children under the age of 10 in some towns in New England!!
In the twenties of the nineteenth century, there were 100,000 to 200,000 patients and about 13,000 to 15,000 deaths in the United States every year. Children are the leading victims of diphtheria and death. One of the most famous outbreaks was in Nomu (a town in western Alaska, USA) where more than 3,000 children died of diphtheria!!
Diphtheria is highly contagious, and the toxins secreted by diphtheria bacilli are very violent, which can cause nerve palsy and myocarditis, and the disease worsens extremely quickly, so the fact that the new Earl of Ratnest has survived until now is enough to show that his health is better than his peers------ didn't the nun say? Four of the children who fell ill with him have died.
No wonder the nun said that alchemical potions were also ineffective! Because the essence of alchemical elixirs was to start out to treat wounds, and they were not developed to target the germs of virulent infectious diseases. Although injuries and illnesses are often linked together, there is a fundamental difference between the two in terms of treatment!
The specific drug that can curb diphtheria is penicillin, Du Yuqi also carries related drugs with him, and immediately added it to the infusion bag for the child to infuse it in the first time, but the key to the problem is that even if the diphtheria bacilli in his body are all killed, the toxins secreted by these bacteria still cannot be neutralized, and they play a very resolute role, and at the same time, according to Du Yuqi's speculation, complications such as myocarditis and nerve palsy have also begun to appear......
