Chapter 92: Parasitism

Seeing Gao Jun's anxious look, Zhao Heng could actually understand it, after all, in the anesthesiology department, not everyone was convinced by Gao Jun, this Wen Shen, his support for Gao Jun, that was in everyone's eyes.

"Teacher, after investigation, I found that this patient had a history of travel and residence in Dali a month ago, and Dali has a popular original snack, and the patient's cerebral edema may have something to do with this."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

"History of living in Dali? Raw snacks? ”

As soon as Zhao Heng said this, Gao Jun was confused, and he couldn't imagine what connection there would be between these things.

"Lao Gao, raw skin is raw pork."

Seeing Gao Jun's confused appearance, Xu Manni couldn't help but explain.

This kind of local snack, if you are not a person who has traveled there, will really not know.

"Huh? Raw pork? Can raw pork be eaten directly? ”

Gao Jun was shocked, he had only heard of eating sashimi and raw beef, but he had never heard of eating raw pork, and regardless of hygiene or unhygiene, pork was not suitable for raw meat, and the taste would not be good!

"Specially selected pigs are still no problem to eat raw."

Xu Manni thought for a while and said.

The raw hides eaten by the Bai people in Dali and the pigs used are all specially selected.

"You mean to say that this patient has pork tapeworms in his body?"

Gao Jun's clinical experience is very rich, and as soon as Zhao Heng and Xu Manni said this, he immediately reacted.

"Well, teacher, the cerebral edema of this patient is likely to be due to the parasitism of pork tapeworms in the brain, and in the case of anesthesia, the body falls into a semi-dormant state, and the pork tapeworms will begin to move, and the secretion products directly lead to the occurrence of cerebral edema."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

"It's extremely rare, but it's not impossible."

Hearing what Zhao Heng said, Gao Jun pondered for a moment and said slowly.

To do clinical work, it is necessary to have bold assumptions and careful verification thinking.

"Isn't it, just do a test to find out."

Xu Manni said.

"Well, that's right, Xiao Zhao, let's go now, let's go find Lao Wen."

Just do it, Gao Jun said very simply.

In this way, Zhao Heng and Gao Jun came to the ICU again.

At the door of the ICU, I don't know when a lot of people will gather, and it seems that they are looking for trouble.

The entrance of a huge ICU looks like a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Zhao Heng shook his head slightly, and walked in with Gao Jun.

Wen Shen still stayed in front of the patient's bed, and did not leave for a moment, but his face was gloomy and his mood was unusually heavy, he couldn't accept how a normal preoperative anesthesia had developed into what it is now.

Seeing Zhao Heng and Gao Jun coming, Wen Shen only nodded, and at this moment he didn't even have the strength to say hello.

"Lao Wen, Xiao Zhao has found the cause that may be causing the patient's cerebral edema."

As soon as Gao Jun came, he said directly and neatly.

"What?!"

Hearing Gao Jun's words, Wen Shen stood up suddenly, because he was in too much of a hurry, and knocked down the chair and made a bang.

"Have you found the reason?!"

Wen Shensan stepped in front of Zhao Heng in two steps, pulled him and asked very anxiously.

"Well, Mr. Wen, after investigation, I found that this patient had a history of living in Dali a month ago, and on her Weibo, I found a photo of the patient suspected of eating raw skin, a local snack in Dali, that is, raw pork. Therefore, there is reason to suspect that the cerebral edema of this patient is most likely caused by the parasitic brain of the pork tapeworm. ”

Zhao Heng simply and smoothly told what happened to him.

"Hides? Raw pork? Pork tapeworms? ”

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Wen Shen kept repeating these words, his brain was running rapidly, and he seemed to be full of enthusiasm all of a sudden, completely different from the gray state just now.

After a while, Wen Shen suddenly took out the patient's medical record, turned to a page, looked at it carefully, then raised his head, and then said with a bright eye: "By the way, I just said how can this patient's blood eosinophils rise for no reason, this must be caused by the parasitism of pork tapeworms." ”

"Do the test, do the DNA dot blot test right away!"

Wen Shen said to himself again.

Soon, Wen Shen took samples of the female Internet celebrity, and the samples were also sent to the laboratory department through the fast channel.

It will take at least an hour for the results of the test to come out, and Zhao Heng, Gao Jun and Wen Shen are in the ICU office together, waiting for the results of the test.

"Xiao Zhao, how did you think that the patient might be infected with pork tapeworm?"

While waiting for the test results, Wen Shen asked his doubts.

Patronizing the excitement just now, and calming down, Wen Shencai felt very curious about Zhao Heng's discovery that the patient might have a pork tapeworm infected brain.

After all, the surgery done by the patient is a conventional silicone filler, and the anesthesia is only a routine, and the cerebral edema is strange enough if he does not wake up after the operation, which cannot be associated with the patient's brain infected with pork tapeworm from any angle.

In order to find the real cause of the patient's cerebral edema and prove that there was no problem with Wen Shen's anesthesia operation, the chief experts of all departments of the hospital have been consulted intensively, but none of them have been found.

Then why was Zhao Heng able to find out?

This is where Wen Shen felt very curious.

When Wen Shen asked, Gao Jun also looked at Zhao Heng very curiously.

"That's right, since the experts from all departments of the hospital have been diagnosed, then the tests that should be done have been done, and then add testing items from this aspect, I don't think there is a need for this, besides, I don't think my level can surpass the experts. So, I thought about getting to know this patient from other ways and seeing if I could find out. ”

"Then, I found the patient's Weibo and found out that the patient had a history of travel and residence in Dali, and also ate a local snack called raw hide, which reminded me of a case of cerebral edema caused by the parasitic brain of pork tapeworm."

Zhao Heng told the process of his discovery in an orderly manner.

"Xiao Zhao, you are a genius with real clinical thinking."

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Wen Shen thought for a while before looking at Zhao Heng seriously and said.

Pork tapeworm parasitizes the brain and causes cerebral edema, which is extremely rare, and if it weren't for Zhao Heng's all-round investigation of the patient, it would have been impossible to find it at all.

With the patient's current critical condition, perhaps, the real cause will have to wait for a later autopsy to be discovered.

But whether you can find it or not, this is still two theories.

Therefore, Zhao Heng's discovery can be said to have directly saved Wen Shen's career.

"Lao Gao, you have found a good student."

Wen Shen said with great emotion, at this moment he finally understood why Gao Jun, who had never brought a student for so many years, would make an exception to take Zhao Heng and treat him so well.

If he has such a student, maybe he is even more precious than Gao Jun!
