Chapter 22: I Think It's a Contagion!
"These seven sick newborns subsequently had a decrease in blood pressure, and they could barely maintain heart contraction, and their condition was even more critical!"
In the conference room, Zhao Yuan, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, introduced to everyone with a solemn face.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Bo, an infectious disease expert, and asked:
"Director Wang, I really don't know much about infectious diseases, but the symptoms of these seven newborns are very different except for fever."
"Can this be determined to be a contagion?"
Wang Bo was in his forties, but his hair was gray, and after he nodded slightly, he said in a hoarse voice:
"There will be differences in the early and late appearance of infectious disease symptoms, so different symptoms do not negate the possibility of infectious diseases."
"At the same time, the causes of their fever are nothing more than infectious and non-infectious."
(Infectious fever: caused by the invasion of various pathogens, such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, rickettsia, spirochetes, Plasmodium parasites, and other parasites.) )
(Noninfectious fever: Fever due to malignancy, drugs, connective tissue disease, etc., not due to infection.) )
"If one baby had a non-infectious fever, it would be said in the past, but if all seven babies were, then I think the likelihood is extremely low, almost non-existent!"
"And the likelihood that they will be infected by different pathogens in the same time period is extremely low."
"So I think it's a contagion!"
After Wang Bo finished speaking, Zhao Yuanping immediately nodded, then frowned and said:
"Director Wang, what you said is indeed reasonable."
"However, according to my investigation, the seven newborns were in different delivery rooms and did not have access to common staff and equipment."
"If it's an infectious disease, how do you explain that there is no way to spread it?"
"This ............"
When Wang Bo heard his question, he couldn't answer it for a while.
The scene suddenly fell silent again.
"Experts and colleagues in the department, if you have any opinions, you can say it!"
Immediately, Zhao Yuanping looked at the people sent by various departments in the venue to participate in the meeting.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Yuanping looked at Yuan Dong, director of pediatrics, and asked:
"Director Yuan, based on your experience, do you have any ideas?"
Yuan Dong stared at the desktop, frowned and shook his head, and said:
"We really haven't encountered this kind of strange situation before, just like Director Wang said just now, the symptoms of these seven newborns suffering from the same time without pathogens are indeed very low."
"I can't diagnose them from the perspective of a pediatric disease based on the symptoms they present."
"Rather, it must be combined with the situation of these seven newborns to make a judgment."
"Director Wang also said just now, it is basically certain that this is an infectious disease, so this is not the scope of our pediatrics!"
Zhao Yuanping took a deep breath after listening.
He knew in his heart that Yuan Dong was not to blame for playing the ball, it was indeed the case.
The leader asked him to organize this meeting, and there were indeed a lot of department experts who came, but there were only a few departments that could really make a difference.
Thinking of the emotional newborn family members outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, Zhao Yuanping couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he put his expectant eyes on Wang Bo.
"I don't think that finding a way to spread is in no way a reason to deny contagion!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the venue.
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and their eyes followed the source of the sound.
When I saw a twenty-something face behind the conference table who was speaking, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Who is this man? Why haven't you seen it?!
Which department sent a young man to make up the numbers!
And the tone is so arrogant, I can't figure out my positioning!
"You......... Which department is it from? What is your name? ”
Zhao Yuanping stared at Lin Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"The attending physician of the emergency department, Lin Yi."
"What? Emergency department? ”
"You're still a little attending physician, so you dare to speak wildly?"
"Who wouldn't say cool things!"
"He's so good at judging the disease!"
"I remember! This is the attending physician specially recruited by our hospital a few days ago, and he was doing live broadcast before! ”
"What? Those who engage in live broadcasts can also be specially recruited into our hospital. ”
"I also have the impression that he helped a small hospital diagnose a disease and gained a lot of popularity."
"Then I was recruited by our dean!"
"Recruiting him in is just to take a fancy to his popularity, to promote the hospital."
Suddenly, everyone present began to discuss with each other, and their words were full of disdain.
The emergency department is also in an awkward position among the various departments of the hospital and is not valued.
They have always been considered to be knowledgeable in diagnosis and have no expertise in any area, and can only deal with minor illnesses simply.
Generally, only the director of the department is indeed an expert, and as for the other attending physicians, their level can only be described as hehe.
What's more, Lin Yi is still a young man who came in this situation, so how could his words be recognized by the experts of various departments present.
Zhao Yuanping cast a sharp gaze.
Because Lin Yi's words just now are undoubtedly refuting his face!
"I don't know what this Dr. Lin thinks?"
Zhao Yuanping stared at Lin Yi and asked with a smile.
"Personally, I think that this is indeed an infectious disease, and as for the way of infection, I will find a way to investigate it."
"But, that's not the key issue right now!"
"According to the description of the symptoms of these newborns, they are running out of time, and there may only be one day left for them to become seriously ill!"
"So the key issue now is to find out the infectious diseases they are suffering from and treat them as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanping couldn't help but snort lightly, then looked at Lin Yi and asked:
"Since you have such an idea, can you find out what kind of infectious disease it is?"
"As for what kind of infectious disease it is, that's what I think."
"The first thing to do is to rule out the parasite, because the parasite needs an intermediate host and it takes a certain amount of time to spread, and the youngest patient has only two days, which is obviously impossible."
Lin Yi sat upright and explained his views to everyone present.
"You go on."
Wang Bo, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, stared at Lin Yi, without any expression on his face, and said in a gloomy voice.
"Then all that's left is viruses and bacteria!"
"Of course, this range is still too large, at least a few thousand, and thousands of tests can be done on these babies in a day, even if the blood is drained."
Speaking of this, Lin Yi stopped, then looked at Wang Bo and asked:
"Director Wang, I want to know, what attempts have you made so far?"
Seeing Lin Yi ask this question in the conference room, he couldn't help but look at him and Wang Bo in a daze.
You kid is still anti-guest-oriented, and you actually asked Director Wang like this, who do you think you are?!
