Chapter 298: Confirmed!

After a while, under Qu Xiaofeng's operation, the pathogen detection screen appeared on the electronic screen in real time.

Everyone in the operating room looked very solemn when they saw the picture that appeared on the electronic screen.

Because there is indeed an amoeba protozoa in the picture, it looks like a colorless gelatinous mass with a dark spot in it, and the most important thing is a special pseudopod that appears on the edge of the gelatinous object in the picture, which is the characteristic sign of Naegria fowleri.

"It's Naegria flexneri protozoa, you see, this special pseudopod only appears in Naegria fowleri."

Qu Xiaofeng pointed to part of the picture of pseudopods on the electronic screen, and said to Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang.

With more than 10 years of experience in pathology and pathogen detection, he is very sure that the characteristics of the parasite in front of him are unique to Naegrea fowlii.

"It's confirmed."

Zhao Heng sighed and said.

To be honest, he hoped that the patient's infection was not Naegleria fowleri, but now that Qu Xiaofeng has been diagnosed, he can only accept this result at present.

"yes, it's confirmed."

Liu Ziang also said with some sighs, to be honest, although the results are in front of him, he doesn't want to be diagnosed.

This diagnosis represents a series of emergencies that are about to occur.

Immediately afterward, the patient was sent back to the ward.

Just out of the operating room, the dean Liu Shangming and Gao Jun, who were waiting at the door of the operating room, saw Zhao Heng, Liu Ziang and Qu Xiaofeng with solemn expressions, and the dean Liu Shangming couldn't help but say to Qu Xiaofeng: "Xiaoqu, is it diagnosed?" ”

"Yes, Dean, judging from the morphology of the pathogen electron microscopy, it is indeed a Naegrea fowleri infection."

Qu Xiaofeng said with great certainty that he has more than 10 years of experience in pathology and pathogen detection, although it is said that Naegria fowleri infection is very rare, he has the ability and experience to diagnose this rare parasitic infection.

Hearing Qu Xiaofeng's words, the dean's expression remained unchanged, but his expression became solemn.

Now he must immediately report to the emergency department of the ministry, and the handling of this matter is not only for the Oriental Hospital or the ministry to decide.

After all, the extremely high lethality rate of Naegria fowleri protozoa was found in tourists visiting Jeju Island, and this irrefutable fact is enough to show that this deadly parasite lives in a certain area of Jeju Island, a tourist attraction, and it is not known how many tourists have come into contact with this parasite.

Even if the chance of Naegria flexneri infection is only a few ten, it is at least hundreds or even thousands of infections, and the thought of the 97% fatality rate of Naegleria fowleri infection makes people feel dizzy.

Gao Jun, who was standing on the side, was not much better.

"Xiao Zhao, Director Liu, you go to stabilize the patient's condition first, and prepare to receive a large number of patients."

Dean Liu Shangming has never been an ordinary person, and he has also been trained for a long time, so he quickly issued an order.

In the current situation, the first thing to do is to stabilize the patient's condition, and then report the incident to the emergency department of the ministry.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang nodded at the same time.

After leaving the operating room, the dean left first, and Liu Ziang also went to check the literature and information, as well as contact foreign doctors who have treated patients with Naegleria flexneri infection patients, especially the medical records of the only three cured patients, which can be said to be the only information with treatment reference value at present.

The dean and Liu Ziang left, and Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng: "Xiao Zhao, you must resist this time!" ”

It can be said that since Gao Jun came to work at Dongfang Hospital, there has never been such a serious incident, and when he thought that hundreds or even thousands of people could be infected with a parasite with a fatality rate of 97%, he felt as if the day had fallen.

This kind of thing, don't say it happens, you have never heard of it.

Therefore, now he is pinning all his hopes on Zhao Heng, so far, only 4 cases of patients infected with Naegria fowleri protozoa have survived, if it is to be cured, I am afraid that only a miracle will happen.

In Gao Jun's opinion, Zhao Heng is the person who can create miracles the most, and it is not the first time that he has done something that no one else can do.

"Teacher, now that the patient has been diagnosed with Naegleria fowlii, what will happen to this matter in the future? The first step must be to shut down tourism to Jeju Island as soon as possible, and then conduct full-coverage pathogen screening. ”

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, what he said, this is the most standardized way to deal with it in the current epidemiology.

However, it is difficult to say whether the side of country H will deal with it according to this norm.

According to the consistent urine sex of country H, the handling of this matter is very worrying.

"What you're talking about is exactly what the dean and I are worried about. If all visitors to the island are screened for pathogens as soon as possible, infected patients can be detected in the shortest possible time, and if the infected patients are treated before they become ill, there is still a good chance of survival. ”

"But if there is a delay and the diagnosis is made once the disease is onset, then the chances of surviving are very small."

Gao Jun said with a heavy face.

Gao Jun felt his scalp tingle when he thought that hundreds of people might be diagnosed because they couldn't get tested in time and miss the best time for treatment.

In China, not to mention hundreds of people, even if dozens of people die in an accident at a time, that's a big deal.

"This matter will be coordinated in China."

As soon as Gao Jun said this, Zhao Heng also felt that the situation was serious, and couldn't help but say.

"Coordination is coordination, but it is difficult to say what it will look like, and every hour of delay may cause a person to lose hope of life because they cannot be diagnosed and treated in time."

Gao Jun said with some sighs.

This matter is a huge pressure on all parties, so he does not dare to have much hope for the coordination and handling of this matter.

"Hopefully it can be handled."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

The only thing he can do is to stabilize the condition of the patient who has been infected at present, and find an effective treatment from the cases he has treated before, that is, to find hope for life.

"Xiao Zhao, go get busy, I'll call you if you have something, I'm afraid you won't be able to get off work normally today."

Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded.
