Chapter 200: Nullity
The next day, none of the infected patients showed signs of improvement, and even looked a little worse.
The atmosphere between the few people was a little silent, and Keller said helplessly: "If it doesn't work, you can only choose to close the port." ”
"It's a good idea, normally TB isn't particularly contagious, but this time it seems to be different, it's much more contagious than we've seen before," Ville Onde said. Have you looked into the relationship between these people, have you identified the source of infection?"
Keller said: "It has been checked, this is a merchant ship from Beisen Continent, the infected elf was on the ship on Thunder Island, she has been out for a while and missed her hometown and returned. After the people on the ship left Leizhou for a while, someone suddenly started to have a fever and cough, and they didn't pay attention at the time, but then they coughed up blood and found that the number of infected people had increased, so they isolated the patient until they reached Elf Island. Except for the crew on board, the rest of the people who are infected here have been in contact with the crew. At first, everyone didn't pay attention, but by the time they realized that something was wrong, there were already a lot of infected people. ”
"Are the elves the first to get sick?" asked Kaichi hurriedly.
Keller said firmly: "I asked about this, no, she was relatively backward, there was no sign when she was on the ship, and after arriving at Elf Island, because she was excited, she began to cough up blood." ”
Wille Onde spotted the blind spot: "As soon as you find it, you already start coughing up blood, and it hurts elves so much?"
"It shouldn't be, she should have had symptoms for several days, she felt tightness in her chest, and she also had a feeling of coughing, but she couldn't help it, but she didn't expect to be excited when she arrived at Elf Island, and she coughed up blood without holding back her cough. ”
This is actually the goddamn grace of the elf, the patient forcibly resisted the reaction after the infection, and he didn't say it himself, and outsiders couldn't see it, and he kept dragging and dragging until he vomited blood. This elf girl is not very old, it is the first time to go far away, she has not gone far at all, she has been in Leizhou for a while, she can't help but miss her hometown, and she ran back by boat, but she didn't expect to contract tuberculosis this time.
Keller was a little crying and laughing after knowing the reason, he didn't know what to say, the other party could go out to see what he was happy to see, but he couldn't help but run back after a few days of running out, the life of the elves was really a little comfortable to the point that it made people feel decadent.
"Let's try other antibiotics, we still have oxytetracycline that we don't use. That's all Ville Onde can suggest.
Fortunately, the elves were not the first to be infected, at least the tuberculosis did not show to be more contagious to the elves.
It's a pity that oxytetracycline has no effect, and it doesn't have any effect, relatively speaking, although penicillin can't treat tuberculosis, but it can control the disease and not worsen, the most serious one is a rich businessman, because of penicillin allergy, and now he is dying.
The spread of tuberculosis is expanding, the port has been completely locked, no one is allowed to move around freely, and the sick are also quarantined.
This is no longer ordinary tuberculosis, maybe it was mutated in the middle, or it may be that the tuberculosis they were infected with is a mutated germ, this time the tuberculosis showed a stronger contagiousness, and the elves who took care of these patients outside the ward were also infected, but fortunately, this infection was detected earlier, and the effect of penicillin was better.
The situation is even a bit erosive.
Keller had no choice but to invite the Elven Queen and the Grand Druid Isnebi.
The queen walked into the makeshift quarantine area, which was filled with more than 20 patients, and in just three days, the number of patients had almost doubled, and the contagion was far more contagious than expected.
They came to the most seriously ill rich businessman, and Ville Onde gave the queen a briefing on the situation: "The other party is infected with tuberculosis, we have used a strong antidote to have some effect, but the effect is average, the other party is now coughing up blood more and more, the respiratory function of the lungs has been impaired, the rest of the people are better, through a large dose of penicillin to control the condition, but the control has not deteriorated, there is no sign of improvement." Now that the infection has been effectively controlled, we did not fully anticipate the contagion at the beginning, and the first to be infected were the elves who were responsible for taking care of these patients, and after the control was strengthened, now the elves who did not take care of the patients were infected. ”
"That's good news, at least the infection has been contained. The Elven Queen looked flat, although she didn't have such peace of mind in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, "I'll try to see if it can work on this disease." ”
The queen stretched out her right hand, and a thick layer of green light appeared on it, floating to the rich merchant's chest, like a puff of smoke, and the rich merchant wanted to express his gratitude, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a rapid cough of his own, which seemed to almost cough out his lungs.
After coughing a few times, his face began to improve when he saw it, and he himself said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I feel much better, and my chest doesn't seem to be so stuffy." ”
The rich businessman not only feels good now, but even feels that it is his lucky day, if he can get in touch with the queen, business will definitely be much better in the future, and this illness will be worth it. But what kind of illness will make the queen appear He subconsciously ignored it, maybe he also understood, but he didn't dare to think about it.
Seeing that it was about to improve, the rich merchant's face suddenly turned red, his eyes began to flow bloodshot, his whole body began to twitch, and his mouth began to foam at the mouth, which startled everyone.
The queen quickly stopped the treatment, and Ville Onde stepped forward and took out a powerful antidote and poured it on him, and then examined it.
After the examination, they left the ward together, and the queen turned to Ville Onde and asked: "I feel that my treatment is working well, why is it suddenly worsening?"
"It's a bacterial toxin, and bacteria release toxins when they are metabolized. These toxins affect the metabolism of the bacteria themselves, so when we grow bacteria in a petri dish, at a certain point, the bacteria will no longer grow, or even decrease, because the nutrients in the petri dish and the toxins produced by bacterial metabolism have reached a balance. In general, these toxins do not have much effect on the human body, because the toxins are too weak compared to the human body. But when a large number of bacteria die unnaturally, they will release a large number of toxins in stress, dozens or even hundreds of times higher than the usual toxins, such a large dose of toxins will already have an impact on the human body, so it will deteriorate rapidly, fortunately just stopped in time, otherwise the rich businessman would not survive. ”
Willer Onde calculated in his heart, and suggested with some hesitation: "If you want to be completely cured, you must have the queen or other legendary spellcasters to take action, divide it into six treatments, use a powerful antidote to detoxify after each treatment, recuperate and treat it again, and at the same time supplement penicillin to treat other complications, it should be cured." ”
Although he proposed a cure, he didn't have too much confidence in it, and it was almost impossible to pull a legendary mage, or even the queen of Elven Island, to treat unrelated people, if it was an elf, there was still a few possibilities, and the rest of the humans could almost be regarded as giving up.
The queen stood still and looked at Kaichi and Ville Onde, both of whom were expectant, and said, "You pick out the sickest ones and I'll help them alleviate their symptoms, and the rest depends on whether you can find a solution before the council picks you up." ”
She didn't say the rest, but Jiayi and they understood what the queen meant, and if it was too late, they would almost have to wait for death.
Kaichi knew that the queen had done this to the fullest, but at this moment, he suddenly felt some unprovoked anger, and even he himself was a little strange. It's not that he hasn't seen death, there are several people who have died at his hands, and he thought he was used to it.
Jiayi grabbed Willer Onde and whispered: "The existing antibiotics are generally effective in the treatment of infectious diseases, we need a new antibiotic, I think, the breakthrough point should be in the soil." ”
"The strains in the soil are complex, much more than the number of animals and plants, and more strains can definitely be found in the soil, and after cultivation, they may be able to obtain the products of treating infectious diseases, but the soil composition is complex, and it will definitely take a lot of time and energy. ”
Jiayi used to have a good biology, but he has a limited understanding of the history of the research and development of various antibiotics, but he only knows these names, only penicillin is the first antibiotic to be discovered, and there are a lot of things said in various popular science articles, and he knows that for other antibiotics, he has gone through all the records in his mind, and he can only know that most of them are cultivated from the soil, and more are not known.
He told Ville Onde that he was also looking forward to borrowing the resources of the undead system to quickly cultivate and obtain new antibiotics, and he didn't care too much about whether Ville Onde would be discovered first, and with penicillin.
Ville Onde took what Jia Yi said to heart, and as soon as they left the closed area, an elf came to report that the people of the Holy See had arrived near the elven island, and they were about to arrive at the port of Noirola.
