Chapter 299 Confirmed!

After a while, under Qu Xiaofeng's operation, the pathogen detection screen appeared on the electronic screen in real time.

Everyone in the operating room suddenly looked very solemn when they saw the picture on the electronic screen.

Because there is indeed an amoeba in the picture. It looks like a ball of colorless jelly with a dark spot inside. The most important thing is that there is a special kind of jelly on the edge of the picture.

Pseudopodia, this kind of pseudopod is a unique sign of Naegleria fowleri.

"It's Naegleria fowleri. You see, this special pseudopod only appears in Naegleria fowleri."

Qu Xiaofeng pointed to part of the picture of pseudopods on the electronic screen and said to Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang.

With more than ten years of experience in pathology and pathogen detection, he was very sure that the characteristics of the parasite in front of him were unique to Naegleria fowleri.

"Confirmed."

Zhao Heng sighed and said.

To be honest, he hoped that the patient was not infected with Naegleria fowleri, but now that Qu Xiaofeng has been diagnosed, he can only accept the result for now.

"Yes, confirmed."

Liu Ziang also sighed and said, to be honest, although the result is right in front of him, he does not want to be diagnosed.

This diagnosis represents a series of emergencies that are about to occur.

Immediately afterwards, the patient was returned to the ward.

Just after leaving the operating room, Dean Liu Shangming and Gao Jun, who were waiting at the door of the operating room, saw the solemn expressions on the faces of Zhao Heng, Liu Ziang and Qu Xiaofeng. Dean Liu Shangming couldn't help but said to Qu Xiaofeng: "Xiao Qu,

Diagnosed?"

"Yes, Dean, judging from the electron microscope morphology of the pathogen, it is indeed an infection with Naegleria fowleri."

Qu Xiaofeng said with certainty that with more than ten years of experience in pathology and pathogen detection, although Naegleria fowleri infection is very rare, he has the ability and experience to diagnose this rare parasite.

of infection.

After hearing Qu Xiaofeng's words, the dean's expression remained unchanged, but his expression became serious.

Now he must report it to the emergency department of the ministry immediately. How to deal with this matter is not something that only Oriental Hospital or the ministry can decide.

After all, Naegleria fowleri, which has a very high fatality rate, was found in tourists on Jeju Island. This irrefutable fact is enough to show that in a certain area of ​​water in Jeju Island, a tourist resort,

This deadly parasite exists, and it is unknown how many tourists have been exposed to it.

Even if the chance of being infected with Naegleria fowleri is only a few tenths, it would infect at least hundreds or even thousands of people. When you think about how many people are infected with Naegleria fowleri,

The fatality rate of 97% makes people feel dizzy.

Gao Jun, who was standing aside, wasn't doing much better either.

"Xiao Zhao, Director Liu, please stabilize the patient's condition first, and be prepared to receive a large number of patients."

Dean Liu Shangming was never an ordinary person. He also had long experience and training, so he quickly issued the order.

Under the current circumstances, the first thing to do is to stabilize the patient's condition and then report the incident to the emergency department of the ministry. As for what to do next, that is not something that Dongfang Hospital or even the ministry can decide alone.

Already.

"good."

Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang nodded at the same time.

After leaving the operating room, the director left first. Liu Ziang also went to check literature and information, and contacted doctors from foreign hospitals who had treated patients with Naegleria fowleri infection, especially the only three cases of cured patients.

The medical records can be said to be the only information with treatment reference value at present.

The dean and Liu Ziang left, and Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng: "Xiao Zhao, you must resist this time!"

It can be said that since Gao Jun came to work at Dongfang Hospital, nothing so serious has ever happened. When he thought that hundreds or even thousands of people might be infected with a parasite with a fatality rate of 97%, he felt like this.

The sky seemed to have fallen.

This kind of thing has never happened, let alone heard of it.

Therefore, now he is pinning all his hopes on Zhao Heng. So far, only 4 cases of patients infected with Naegleria fowleri have survived. If they are to be cured, I am afraid that

Only a miracle happened.

In Gao Jun's view, Zhao Heng is the person who can create miracles the most. This is not the first time that he has done something that no one else can do.

"Teacher, now that the patient has been diagnosed with Naegleria fowleri, how will this matter be handled in the future? The first step must be to shut down tourism in Jeju Island as soon as possible, and then conduct a full-coverage pathogen screening

Bar."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, what he said is that this is the most standardized handling method in epidemiology at present.

However, it is hard to say whether Country H will handle the matter in accordance with this standard.

According to H country's consistent urine behavior, the handling of this matter is very worrying.

"What you said is exactly what the director and I are worried about. If all tourists on the island are screened for pathogens as soon as possible, infected patients can be found in the shortest time.

If infected patients are treated when they are not sick, then there is still a high chance of survival."

"But if you waste time and wait until the diagnosis is made once the disease develops, the chance of survival will be very slim."

Gao Jun said with a heavy face.

Gao Jun felt his scalp go numb when he thought that hundreds of people might be diagnosed because they could not get checked in time, thus missing the best opportunity for treatment.

In China, not to mention hundreds of people, even if dozens of people are killed in one accident, that is a big deal.

"This matter will be coordinated domestically."

When Gao Jun said this, Zhao Heng also felt that the situation was serious and couldn't help but say.

"Coordination is possible, but it's hard to say how coordinated it will be. For every hour of delay, one person may lose hope of living because they cannot be diagnosed and treated in time."

Gao Jun said with a sigh.

This matter is a huge pressure for all parties, so he does not dare to have high hopes for the coordination and handling of this matter.

"I hope it can be handled well."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

He cannot interfere with these extremely high-level matters. The only thing he can do is to stabilize the condition of the patient who is currently infected, and to find effective treatments from previously treated cases, that is, to find hope for life.

.

"Xiao Zhao, go and do your work. I will call you if something happens. I'm afraid you won't be able to get off work normally today."

Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng.

"good."

Zhao Heng nodded.
