Chapter 383: Angiostrongyloides

In the emergency center of Kyoto Hospital, even the chairs in the aisle are full of patients.

This is not a real food poisoning, because the patient is not poisonous, but a foodborne parasite, which mainly parasitizes in the human cerebrospinal fluid, causing headache, dizziness, fever, neck stiffness, facial nerve paralysis and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it can lead to dementia and even death. This parasite is the strongyloides larvae that hide in snails.

"No, director, we also ate this flavor snail yesterday, and we also had this symptom, but others gave us medicine. It shouldn't be possible for this symptom to get better so quickly, right?" Xia Rusheng blurted out.

After the diagnosis of strongyloides, it is mainly based on drug treatment, and the treatment of each patient takes an average of two to three weeks, and the cost is generally about 3,000 yuan. Severe cases may take longer, and they may still have headaches and dementia sequelae after recovery. If you are infected with strongyloides, how can you recover so quickly?"

"Director, we didn't lie to you. Didn't we go to Shangguan Reservoir yesterday to play? On the way, we bought a few flavored snails at the Huangsi store, and as you know, we like to eat the Fushou snails in the Huangsi store the most. As a result, all the people who ate at night were hit, and the three of us were the most serious. I had a fever and a headache and dizziness, if it wasn't for someone else's rescue, we would not have been able to come back this time. Xia Rusheng said.

"It's true. Director, at the time we really thought it was simple food poisoning. In fact, I thought about it for a long time, and the food poisoning of taste snails is generally caused by this kind of strongyloides contamination. But people casually brought the antidote water and drank it. The symptoms of fever, headache, and dizziness were relieved at that time. Yang Lingle also said.

Su Ziting also hurriedly said: "That potion is really effective. At that time, I was comfortable after eating. ”

Yang Lingle is usually very steady, and will not team up with Xia Rusheng and Su Ziting to deceive people. It is even more impossible to deceive people in this kind of thing, so although Zhou Changqi is a little unbelievable, he still believes it a little.

"Do you know what kind of medicine the other party gave you?" asked Zhou Changqi.

"It was the girl in their class, he didn't show up in our tent at all, maybe he did, we didn't see him in a daze. The next morning, when we wanted to say thank you in person, they had already gone out to buy sweet potatoes. They were still playing in Shangguan Reservoir today, and they heard that they were going to roast sweet potatoes to eat. Yang Lingle said.

"The girls in the class, who are the students?" Zhou Changqi asked.

"Hmm. He is a student at the University of Chinese Medicine. It's still a freshman. The student who administered the drug heard that it was very powerful, and he joined the medical team of a famous professor in the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Chinese Medicine in his freshman year. Yang Lingle added. Yang Lingle told all the information she knew.

"It's nothing new to be a freshman in the medical team. The University of Chinese Medicine is different from us who study Western medicine. After all, a good Chinese medicine practitioner cannot be taught in four or five years. They attach great importance to the kind of students who have eight years of bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies. Zhou Changqi said.

"But the medicine in the student's hand was really effective, and we were fine when we took it. By the way, there are several people in their class who have been cheated by us, and we once exchanged a box of flavored snails with them for grilled fish. The grilled fish was delicious. We smelled the aroma and ran to their barbecue place, and we couldn't help but want to taste it. They gave us a box of grilled fish and we gave them a box of flavored snails. As a result, several people who ate the taste snail got food poisoning. They found us after they found out that the girls in their class had food poisoning. Yang Lingle said.

"Is there really such an effective drug? Can you contact them now? I think this antidote should be a new Chinese patent medicine developed by their Chinese medicine university. Wait, I'll give you a call and ask. Although he is a Western doctor, Zhou Changqi still has many acquaintances at the University of Chinese Medicine.

As a result, the reply over there made Zhou Changqi look very strange. The University of Chinese Medicine Hospital also received many patients with food poisoning from snails, and the symptoms were basically confirmed to be caused by strongyloides infection, and they are now using the same drug treatment as Kyoto Hospital. When Zhou Changqi asked them if they had any special drugs for strongyloides, the other party seemed a little surprised. Obviously, I don't know anything about this so-called miracle drug.

Zhou Changqi hung up the phone and asked, "Yang Lingle, the three of you are the most stable in terms of you, at this critical time, you can't lie to me." Did you really get angiostrongyloides last night?"

"I'm not sure if it's angiostrongyloides infection, but we must have eaten the flavor snail from Huangsidian and had the same symptoms. And it was indeed good to eat that student's antidote. Yang Lingle said with a serious expression.

"Can you contact them?" asked Zhou Changqi.

Yang Lingle nodded: "I left the phone number of their squad leader." We are ready to have time to go to the University of Chinese Medicine and express our gratitude to that life-saving benefactor in person. ”

Zhou Changqi nodded: "If you are really infected with strongyloides, the symptoms are so serious, if it weren't for them, wait for a few of you to be found and then send them to the hospital in Kyoto, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." Among the patients received by our hospital alone, there were more than a dozen cases with very serious symptoms. Even if all of these dozen cases are rescued, I estimate that there will definitely be sequelae in the future. If you don't become demented, you're lucky. ”

Su Ziting patted her chest and let out a long breath: "It seems that we are really blessed with fate." If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. Looks like my true destiny is about to appear. ”

Zhou Changqi smiled, he didn't bother to pay attention to Su Ziting, and said to Yang Lingle: "You contact the squad leader to see if you can invite that student to our hospital." If this continues, our emergency center will not want to work normally for a few months. ”

"He is a student of the University of Chinese Medicine, and he is a member of the medical team of the Affiliated Hospital of Chinese Medicine. Yang Lingle reminded.

"I don't care where he's from. As long as you can invite people over, you can cure all these patients and send them away. Don't do anything, I'll be all right. With so many patients crammed into our emergency center, we can make things happen if we can't do it. Zhou Changqi looked at the patients sitting in the aisle of the hospital. It was difficult for the medical staff to move through it, so they couldn't help but frown.

The emergency center was already very busy, and with so many additional emergency patients being sent in at once, the emergency center was naturally in chaos.
