877: C877 Reignited Total Encephalitis

C877 Reignited Total Encephalitis

A few minutes later, Dongfang Wenxin was the only one left in the room. Chen Qun, Zhou Lin, and Ouyang Yang appeared in front of Chi Hong.

The moment Ouyang Yang entered, he gave an earth-shattering answer.

"We need a brain biopsy of the patient right away to determine his condition. Otherwise, all the other possible symptoms, including the very rare Addison's syndrome, had been guessed and checked out by the pediatrics department. So we need more results. "

Chi Hong immediately glared at him. "Do you think that drilling holes in a child's head is a common thing? How about we drill a hole in your head to see what kind of mess is inside?"

Ouyang Yang didn't mind Chi Hong's accusation at all and gave his evidence.

"We don't have time. The patient is in a coma and the physiological index is very poor. If we continue to delay it, we will have to find the answer on the autopsy table. If you don't do this skull drill, I'll contact the chief resident. "

Chen Qun walked two steps to the side, drew a circle with his hand and expressed his opinion.

"Perhaps you have overlooked the fundamental fact that the patient said he had leeches on him. If this wasn't an illusion, it was a direct sensation of the body. However, the brain adds a reasonable explanation to this feeling, so you need to consider another symptom. "

Chen Qun laughed, looked at his colleagues, and gave an explanation that surprised everyone.

"I don't know why, but looking at this boy, I suddenly remember the symptoms of the twins. It was also my brain that was completely deceiving my body, giving me the wrong impression. Then it's the same for this patient! "

Indeed, the brain circuits were different!

All the youngsters immediately thought of this phrase.

Chen Qun's voice resounded in their ears.

"Immediately test his body for the measles virus, which I suspect is a subacute sclerosing total encephalitis caused by the measles virus. Remember the last time we had this case, which was even more unusual, when we took samples from the retina. But this time there is no need to go through so much trouble, just one spinal tap and we will have the results. "

Chi Hong looked at Chen Qun's resolute gaze and felt that she had let herself down if she didn't find him something to do. Moreover, the hospital was vigorously promoting the use of new technology. Since he was the instigator, he immediately raised an objection.

"If it's an encephalitis caused by the measles virus, I suggest you do one of the tests you did last time, which would be less harmful to the patient. Didn't Director Liu already say that new technology should not stay in the laboratory and be promoted? "The speculation that you've come up with will be completed by you."

Chi Hong stood up and walked outside, explaining the situation to her parents who were waiting for the results.

"I want to ask you something. Is your child vaccinated? Have you fought the most common ones? We suspect that your child is suffering from meningitis, which used to be common but is now almost gone. "

The parents looked a little embarrassed as they explained the reason.

"The kids grew up in the United States all these years, because when we were young, we didn't have health insurance and we didn't have a vaccine and we wanted to come back and get it on New Year's Eve. But it was delayed, and we didn't get back until the next year. It should be fine, right? "

Chi Hong's mouth turned bitter. Of course, she knew that her parents had no other choice. Going to the hospital to get a cold would cost thousands of dollars, and having an appendectomy would cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many Chinese who studied in the United States would rather fly back to see a doctor than be hospitalized there.

She sighed and shook her head.

"Many vaccines are ineffective if they are given to children beyond the age of two. Besides, measles virus can normally lurk in the body of a child for more than 10 years, but it does not mean that it is safe. "Alright, I understand your situation now. If the test results aren't out yet, there might be other illnesses, but you have to be prepared for this. If it's meningitis caused by measles virus, then that's really troublesome. Alright, you guys just wait here for the test results."

The male parent who obviously returned home immediately asked, "Should we extract the spinal fluid from the child? Was he in such a bad condition that he could bear it? He's been in a coma since he was a kid, and he was scared the moment he saw a needle. "

Chi Hong was just in time to go with the flow and find something for Chen Qun to do.

"Now we have a new testing method, which is to use our most advanced Optical Forceps s to extract tissue from your child's retina and then carry it out. If you don't want to, then we'll just use the regular inspections to finish it. It'll depend on your choice. "

"No matter how expensive it is here, it is still cheaper compared to the American side. A hundred dollars' worth of testing fees is not even enough to conduct a blood test there. That, of course, is the latest examination in your hospital. "

Seeing that the family members had agreed, Chi Hong immediately arranged for Chen Qun to bring a few rookies with him to teach them how to perform the same examination. On the other hand, Chi Hong stayed at the pediatrics side and started looking through the methods used by Chen Qun and the others to treat the same symptoms.

The results came out half an hour later. As Chen Qun predicted, it was subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and a large number of measles virus was found in the retinal cells.

However, when Chen Qun saw this result, his heart became heavy and he directly sent a message to Chi Hong.

"Now that the results are out, the patient is already suffering from stage three symptoms. If we follow our previous routine, we won't be able to treat him." Or perhaps he had already lost the best time to treat her. On the other hand, there was a new treatment on the Mayo Clinic that could be used in this kind of situation. However, the expensive price would make everyone stop in their tracks. If you manage to solve the problem that you've caused yourself, I will be powerless. "1

Being too familiar with Chen Qun's style, Chi Hong's genius brain immediately understood why Chen Qun placed the ball back on her and went to Director Liu to find a solution.

"Principal, we just met a patient with terminal subacute sclerosing encephalitis in the pediatrics department. Chen Qun saw that the Mayo Clinic department had a treatment method, but it was very expensive. Normal people can't bear it. I looked at the Therapeutic Regimen Chen Qun sent to me, and felt that we could produce these medicine in the laboratory to treat the patient, but that would require the principal's signature. Should I write a report and apply to the court? "

Liu Yang immediately understood what was going on. Chen Qun was going to call the hospital in advance to inform them what he was going to do. He would not hesitate to give Chi Hong instructions directly.

"Alright, just write an application and I will allow you to undergo this experimental treatment. I will inform the pediatrics department."

However, Liu Yang immediately thought of another question and asked Chi Hong.

"Isn't this disease something that can be solved with a single shot of vaccine? The last century was very rare around the world, but why are there more now, and new treatments? "

Chi Hong silently looked at the documents in her hands.

"It was because many children who were not vaccinated grew up abroad that the disease that had disappeared became very common, so new treatments appeared."

Liu Yang was stunned for a moment and then taunted him with a disdainful look.

"In my opinion, those who preach that vaccines are harmful are the ones who are instructed by medical companies that sell drugs. An old vaccine doesn't make any money at all, but a new cure is a lot of money. Capital society is just like this! "
