Chapter 46: Broad-spectrum antivirals

Outside the ward.

"Doctor Mo, when are you going to operate on Xiaoyue?"

The two grabbed Mo Kai's hand, as if they had grasped the last straw.

Mo Kai said patiently, "Family, don't worry, I have already asked people to send the pathological sections back to the laboratory department of the hospital, and when the DNA sequencing results come out, we can operate immediately!" ”

"DNA sequencing?"

"When will the results be available?"

The two couples don't understand these academic terms, but they know very well how bad Xiaoyue's current physical condition is.

Mo Kai groaned, "Well, it's hard to say! ”

For now, heterotypic hepatitis virus is unlikely,

I'm afraid it's a virus that has never appeared before, or a combination of multiple viruses.

That will be a very big test for the work of the laboratory department.

One day?

Two days?

Three days?

Mo Kai didn't dare to say anything.

And Mo Kai's silence made the couple desperate in an instant.

"How can this be, she is only 16 years old!"

"My miserable child, why did God torture her so much!"

"Please, God, let her go, everything comes at me, I'll take the blame for her..."

When Mo Kai saw this scene, he also hurriedly comforted the two of them.

But it was hard for him to imagine what a nightmare it would be for their ordinary family in just one week.

The savings were spent, the house was sold, and all this still couldn't buy back Xiaoyue's life.

If Xiaoyue is gone, then what will be left of them...

Chen Heran sighed, "I promise you that all the treatment costs of Xiaoyue will be borne by our hospital. ”

"Dean Chen, thank you, thank you!"

But we,

"I just want a little joy!!"

For the two couples, there is nothing more precious in the world than Xiaoyue.

Mo Kai and Chen looked at each other, only sighing.

At this moment, a human voice sounded in the hallway, "I suggest that all the treatment drugs be replaced with antiviral drugs!" ”

Looking back, I saw Li Xiyang walking out of the ward.

"Xiyang, what did you just say?"

"Teacher, Dean Chen, since the current drug treatment has no effect, why not try antiviral drugs?"

Although it is still uncertain which virus is in Xiaoyue's body, there may be a way to restrain it.

Mo Kai and Chen Heran glanced at each other, and they both felt that this method was very risky.

But judging by the patient's current situation, it seems... It's also a solution.

After all, what they need at the moment is time.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Mo, you go to the respiratory department with me."

Mao Tong, director of the respiratory department, has been in charge of Xiaoyue's medication and treatment, and whether this plan is feasible still needs to be further discussed with him.

When the two couples on the side heard that they were going to change the medicine for Xiaoyue, they hurriedly grabbed Li Xiyang and asked, "Doctor, have you found a way to save Xiaoyue?" ”

Li Xiyang patted the back of the family's hand and said patiently, "The doctors in the emergency center and the first hospital are all working hard for Xiaoyue's treatment, and Xiaoyue, like us, has been fighting the disease. ”

"Uncle and aunt, you can't give up!"

"I promise you, Xiaoyue will definitely get better!"

In the ward, Xiao Nuo heard every word clearly.

Suddenly, tears burst like an embankment.

She had planned to leave this world tonight, in her own way.

But the doctor appeared,

He encouraged himself with gentleness...

Tell yourself with the look that he knows what he's thinking...

And now, in a firm tone, he told everyone that he would definitely get better.

In an instant, Xiao Yue rekindled her hope.

"Thank you!"

"Brother!"

……

Leaving the laminar flow ward, Li Xiyang and Mo Kai followed Dean Chen back to the Department of Respiratory Medicine again.

At this time, Mao Tong was sitting in the office studying Xiaoyue's next diagnosis and treatment plan, and suddenly saw Dean Chen returning, and hurriedly stood up.

"Dean, what's wrong?"

"Director Mao, Dr. Li has something I want to discuss with you."

"Dr. Lee?"

Mao Tong looked behind Chen Heran, one was Mo Kai, and the other was Xiao Young.

I've seen it in the conference room before.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Li Xiyang nodded and said, "Director Mao, I have an idea about Xiaoyue's illness. ”

"Oh?"

"Tell me about it!"

Mao Tong is not stupid, and there must be something to let the dean and Mo Kai accompany him personally.

Li Xiyang immediately restated his thoughts again.

After speaking, I saw Mao Tong's brows furrowed.

Then he shook his head and said, "The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny." ”

Li Xiyang was puzzled, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Big problem!"

Mao Tong quipped, "Little guy, do you really know a lot about broad-spectrum antiviral drugs?" ”

"Broad-spectrum antivirals..."

Li Xiyang groaned slightly.

Broad-spectrum antiviral drugs usually refer to drugs that specifically inhibit or kill a variety of viruses.

For example, by interfering with virus adsorption, preventing viruses from entering cells, inhibiting the synthesis of viral substances, inhibiting virus release, or enhancing the host's ability to resist viruses, it helps the body fight against viral invasion and infection.

Compared with narrow-spectrum antiviral drugs, broad-spectrum antiviral drugs have a wider range of applications and have a strong inhibition of growth and reproduction against a variety of viruses.

It can be used to treat a variety of infectious diseases such as respiratory tract infections, digestive tract infections, and organ infections.

Li Xiyang naturally knows about broad-spectrum antiviral drugs, but if he really knows how much he knows, he doesn't dare to say this.

After all, this belongs to the category of pharmacology, and he is at most entry-level.

And Mao Tong is definitely a master in this field.

He said unhurriedly, "There are many broad-spectrum drugs, let's talk about a few of the most commonly used, such as ribavirin." ”

"Although ribavirin has a wide range of effectiveness against viral diseases, in fact, as early as three years ago, the State Food and Drug Administration notified the safety of ribavirin.

Relevant professionals are reminded to pay close attention to safety issues such as reproductive toxicity and hemolytic anemia.

Although there has been some improvement in recent years, accidents still occur from time to time.

Moreover, for many specific viruses, ribavirin does not shorten the duration of the disease, and it seems far-fetched to relieve symptoms.

Therefore, it should not be used routinely. ”

"Speaking of acyclovir, while exerting antiviral effects, there is a certain chance of causing acute renal failure in patients, especially in patients with renal impairment when acyclovir is treated, the most serious case may cause death."

"There is also oseltamivir, which can reduce but not completely virus, and once the drug is stopped, it may restore the body's susceptibility to the virus, and it is not necessary to use it indiscriminately in clinical practice."

"Interferon α, a series of adverse reactions have been reported many times: fever, fatigue, bone marrow suppression, flu-like symptoms, depression and exacerbation of autoimmune diseases, etc."

"There is also Arbidol with an adverse reaction rate of about 6.2% after taking it."

Mao Tong said five of the most commonly used broad-spectrum antiviral drugs in one breath, but all of them had strong side effects.

"Little guy, the use of antiviral drugs is not so simple, and it needs to be treated dialectically according to the condition."

"I know what you think, maybe you can really buy a little more time for Xiaoyue, but the consequences may not be something we can bear."

Mo Kai and Chen Heran also mean this,

It's just that Xiaoyue's current condition is really bad, and no one knows how long she can last.

Mo Kai said, "Xiyang's idea still points us a clear way, let's take some drugs with fewer side effects first and see the situation." ”

"Treating the symptoms is not the root cause, but that's the only way to do it for now!"

Mao Tong shrugged his shoulders and turned around to prescribe.

At this time, Li Xiyang suddenly said, "You all misunderstood, I'm not talking about broad-spectrum antiviral drugs!" ”
