C1665 Chagas Disease
In the afternoon, Zhou Lin received the results of the examination that he needed. The more he read, the more he could not understand. He simply looked for Chen Qun to continue the consultation.
In the small conference room, Zhou Lin presented the CT scan and several data of the patient and began to narrate his diagnosis results.
"If we look at the results of the barium meal alone, the few images here show that the patient is suffering from cartilaphosis. In other words, the patient is suffering from cartilaphosis. The patient's esophageal sphincter is unable to function normally. This could explain why the patient had lost appetite, vomited, and lost weight. However, it could not explain the problem with his heart. It could be two types of diseases. It could also be a few symptoms of an illness that hasn't been detected yet. "
Chen Qun could almost confirm the patient's condition. He looked at Zhou Lin with some doubt.
"Didn't we mention this morning that it might be caused by some foreign diseases? Why haven't you checked in this direction yet?"
Zhou Lin rubbed his head and patted his head in embarrassment. He then spread out his hands to express his gratitude.
"I forgot. I am different from Little Apple. I have to think about it myself. After I can't find the result, I will ask the computer for the answer. "
"You are also inflexible. In fact, you are also adhering to something. In fact, through your situation, Little Broom also had a few answers. Let's go and ask about the situation again and then we can confirm what kind of disease it is. Let's go. Let's go to the ward first and ask. I only have about 20 minutes of free time. There are two more surgeries later. We also need to know about Ding Liping and the other girls to practice. "
Zhou Lin smiled and went to the ward with Chen Qun. He went straight to the point and asked about the situation.
"You have just returned to the country not long ago. You have been sailing with the cargo ship a few days ago. Can you tell me exactly where you went? We've found the problem with your stomach, but we think it's just a symptom, caused by some kind of disease, so we need you to tell me exactly where you went. "
The patient hasn't answered yet, but the fat prime minister who accompanied him here hasn't left yet, so he answered the question for him first.
"Our company's trading partners are mainly in South America, and he also went with the cargo ship to Peruvian, Brazil, and Panama. He was even delayed in Hawaii for more than ten days. Is there a problem? There are 15 employees in our company setting sail with the ship. If it's covered up by the infectious disease, there's a situation? Plus, we've also been quarantined and have carried out a comprehensive examination. "
Zhou Lin took a look at the various symptoms that Little Broom listed and continued to ask about the patient's condition.
"Then, did you have any other illnesses when you were overseas? The smaller ones. For example, if your eyelids suddenly swelled up, or if you thought it was mosquito bites or that it was caused by staying up late, you didn't care. "
The patient, who was lying on the bed, raised his head weakly. He frowned and thought for a while before giving an accurate answer.
"When I was in Peruvian, my eyelids were swollen and swollen. I thought I was bitten by mosquitoes, so I specially prescribed some allergic medicine to take. Then, I wiped some of the flower dew that I brought here and disappeared two days later. What does this have to do with my illness?"
Zhou Lin put down the tablet in his hand and took a long breath to express his gratitude.
"This has a lot to do with it. It can be said that all your symptoms came from your bite this time. This kind of insect is commonly known as the Kissing Worm. It is a very common kind of insect in Latin America. People who have been bitten may have contracted a disease called Chagarth's Disease. My country is called America's Insects Disease. "
Speaking up to this point, Zhou Lin picked up the tablet in his hand and read a paragraph of text.
"The disease has fever during its acute period, and its face is swollen. Lymphadenitis, anemia, and other symptoms. [The patient has chronic myocardial infarction, cardiac failure, etc. ] Giant esophagitis, giant colon and pulmonary embolism. Do you feel that these symptoms are very similar to the situation in your body? You are already in the chronic stage. So regular blood tests can't find the pathogen. But our PCR technology will be able to check the nuclear acid of the pathogen, and the results will appear in the afternoon. We will immediately perform a blood test on you for this disease. As long as the test results are positive, we can treat it. "
The fat manager's brain spun quickly and he immediately understood what was going on. He nervously asked.
"Dr. Chen, Doctor Zhou, is it possible that this kind of disease does not exist in the country, so most hospitals would not associate it with this kind of situation. In addition, it has been a while since we returned to the country, so other hospitals are unable to diagnose it. Since there is one person, will other people also be infected with this kind of disease and then lurk in their bodies? "
Zhou Lin nodded his head.
"Theoretically, it is possible. But for safety reasons, you can call the other employees who have been to South America to the hospital and perform another blood test to know if it has turned into a chronic disease. "
Speaking up to this point, Zhou Lin casually said another thing.
"In fact, your condition is not unreasonable. Two years ago, we received a group of members from the national Antarctic inspection team who were suffering from the disease. In the end, we found out that it was the ancient virus from millions of years ago, and there was no such virus on Earth anymore. So the symptoms were different, but in the end, they found a breakthrough. The most fortunate thing was that. . . Even though it was the most primitive virus, its fundamental characteristics did not change. . . So our conventional medicine can be used to treat it. If we encounter a virus that has undergone a major mutation and cannot be treated, That would be bad. "
The fat manager nodded his head in agreement.
"I understand that, just like the plague. The old-fashioned life eliminating vaccine is aimed at the virus itself. Thus, even if you encounter a few other types of mutated viruses, it will still have a killing effect. However, the more targeted RNA vaccine was unable to deal with different types of vaccines. However, since you guys have confirmed it, I know that sending this kid over for treatment is the best choice. If it was another hospital, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find any results. "
Zhou Lin pretended not to hear the fat manager's flattery. After giving a few instructions, he walked out with Chen Qun. When they arrived at the corridor, they let out a long sigh.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that surgery is easier than diagnosing. But if you really want to stand on the operating table and miss the job of diagnosing, isn't it pushing the responsibility away? "
Chen Qun shook his head and sighed.1
"In fact, trying to avoid harm and gain benefits is the biological reflex, the most primitive instinct. If a creature doesn't have this instinct. . . It stopped on the basis of large molecular matter billions of years ago. There wouldn't be cells, and there wouldn't be any development. Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I'll go and take a look at the operating theater first. How's the operation ability of those girls? "
When Chen Qun came to the observation platform in the operating theater, he saw that the girl who was operating the Optical Forceps was very serious. She carefully directed the probe to absorb the fat cells under the patient's skin. Her stable and careful appearance showed that they were very diligent in their daily training.
It seemed that Fellow Yang had really found the best group of Doctor of Impatient Department for them to do their internships.
