Chapter 894 Why is Grandma Song Yi here?
"Brain-eating worm?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell into silence!
Because the last time these words were reported, the entire country's medical community was slightly shaken!
Last year, the first case of brain-eating worm in our country occurred in Nanhe Province, and the patient died from it!
At that time, the Ministry of Health even went to Nanhe Province to deal with the matter. All major newspapers and radio media followed up on the incident!
Although there was no large-scale transmission, no second related case occurred.
But this incident really caused quite a stir in the medical system!
Because the patients at that time also encountered the same situation. The medical conditions at that time, coupled with insufficient knowledge and preparation about cases of brain-eating worms, as well as the fact that the patients did not take it seriously after they became ill and did not go to the hospital for treatment immediately, all these factors led to the eventual death of the patients.
This made many people afraid of insects.
Therefore, Lu Dingkun, Doctor Qian and others still have fresh memories of the brain-eating worm.
Because this happened last year!
The scientific name of this thing is actually amoeba, a single-cell eukaryotic organism that can cause meningoencephalitis, keratitis, oral infections and skin damage.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that these are the only symptoms it causes, its infection mortality rate is as high as 97%!
The brain-eating worm secretes digestive enzymes to dissolve brain cells for its own use, causing significant bleeding and cysts in the brain, and eventually leading to rapid death!
Li Xiangnan from later generations once saw a corresponding report in a medical journal.
A total of more than ten cases have been found in our country, and all of them have died without exception.
There are only over 200 cases worldwide, and only a single digit number of people can survive!
This worm lives in water and soil and feeds on bacteria, algae, fungi, etc., but it can also enter the bodies of animals and humans with the water flow, attaching to the colon, brain, lungs, liver, etc., carrying out large-scale parasitic reproduction and causing harm to the human body.
Some pristine waters, especially those that flow less frequently, may also contain the larvae of this insect if the water source is not clean enough.
Therefore, some people who like wild swimming do have a high chance of being infected with this brain-eating worm!
Li Xiangnan kept pinching his eyebrows with one hand, forcing himself to calm down.
Now that the cause of Mr. Yu’s illness has been found, the next step is to consider how to save him from the brink of death!
Even though this...
It's very difficult!
Although Shui Dong and Shi Sijun are doctors, they are not in the system, so they don't understand the symptoms of the brain-eating worm. But when they see the serious expressions of the experts from the Health Bureau around them, they also know how difficult Mr. Yu's condition is at this moment.
"How to cure it?"
A voice was heard in the dead silent conference room.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Lei Jin who was slowly rolling up his sleeves.
The many health bureau experts looked at each other with complicated expressions.
After the brain-eating worm came out last year, they discussed this matter together.
I know this disease is difficult to cure!
It can almost be said to be an incurable disease!
Because this worm invades the human brain, it has an indelible impact on people.
In the brain area, treatment and surgery are extremely difficult. With the current medical conditions, if the condition is slightly worse, it can almost sentence the patient to death.
But the person who is sick now is Mr. Yu!
He is a veteran cadre who has made outstanding contributions to the country!
It is impossible to stand by and watch someone die without helping!
But treatment is extremely difficult!
Lei Jin's words reminded them!
How to cure?
Yes, at this moment, we cannot be self-pitying and afraid of the brain-eating worms, but we must try every possible way to pull Mr. Yu back from the brink of death!
"Xiao Li! How do you treat it? We experts will listen to you!"
The first to express his opinion was Doctor Lu Dingkun. He carefully collected all the images and said solemnly, "How should we arrange it? Just give us your opinion!"
"Defa, ask the driver from the Health Bureau to take you to the Ministry of Health! Check the drug catalog in the ministry and see which hospital in Yanjing has drugs like metronidazole and tinidazole tablets. Go buy them now!"
These are two antibiotics that can be used to fight brain-eating worms. As for ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, a drug that has not yet been marketed, Li Xiangnan has no hope.
"What else do you need me to do?" Wang Defa said with his neck straight.
"What we need to do is to get the medicine back as soon as possible! Go!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand to urge him.
"Yes!" Wang Defa immediately turned around and ran out.
Lu Dingkun quickly walked to the window and shouted to the driver who was smoking in the car downstairs: "Master Lu, cooperate with Doctor Wang to get the medicine and follow his instructions!"
"Yes!" The driver below quickly threw away his cigarette and agreed.
"What are we doing?"
Lu Dingkun asked again.
"Doctor Lu, let our hospital's doctors handle the rest!" Li Xiangnan shook his head and shouted to Wang Qileijin, "Brother Qi, Brother Lei, prepare for hyperbaric oxygen treatment!"
"Yes!"
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can now ensure that patients' brains are under the influence of parasites to promote brain oxygenation, reduce brain edema, and relieve patients' symptoms.
"What about us?"
Shui Dong and Shi Sijun came over and asked.
"Give Mr. Yu rehydration salts to maintain the water and electrolyte balance, and replenish nutrient solution at any time to enhance Mr. Yu's resistance!" Li Xiangnan said quickly.
"Yes!" Shui Dong and Shi Sijun looked at each other and quickly turned around and went downstairs.
The experts from the Health Bureau saw how quickly Li Xiangnan made corresponding arrangements for Mr. Yu's condition in an orderly manner, and they secretly admired his calmness.
At the same time, there is also a strong curiosity about whether these measures can work quickly.
"What do you need me to do, Li?"
Lu Dingkun really hoped that he could help, so he quickly came over and handed Li Xiangnan a cigarette. "Don't worry, think carefully, I'll wait for your instructions!"
Li Xiangnan slowly sat down in the chair, lit a cigarette and thought about whether there was anything he had not thought of.
"Doctor Lu!"
Soon Li Xiangnan straightened up and ordered, "Please bring some immunoglobulin from the Health Bureau! So that Elder Yu can be prepared for injection at any time. I want to boost his immunity first!"
"It's my job!" Lu Dingkun nodded, and immediately gave a few instructions to the person next to him, asking him to go back to the bureau quickly.
The room soon fell silent.
The remaining experts sat around Li Xiangnan, waiting anxiously.
Now no one dares to urge Li Xiangnan to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
Because it can be seen that Li Xiangnan is really trying his best to save Mr. Yu's life.
Li Xiangnan finished smoking a whole cigarette, and seeing Lu Dingkun sitting opposite him with his hands clasped together nervously, looking at him, he comforted him, "I will try my best not to operate on Elder Yu's head to minimize the risk!"
"it is good!"
Squeak!
As we were talking, there was a very loud sound of a car braking outside the window.
Li Xiangnan frowned, stood up and walked quickly to the window, then his whole body was shocked.
Downstairs, the Song family’s Red Flag car had already stopped.
Song Yi panicked and came around from the other side and was opening the door.
Seeing the person getting off the bus, Li Xiangnan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously shouted: "Grandma, why are you here?"
The person who got off the bus was none other than Mr.
It was Song Yi's grandmother, the mainstay of the Song family today.
Yu Jingran.
