Chapter 1021

At this time, Xu Wei also treated the wound back.

"How's it going?" Xu Wei asked.

"Gave me some stability and went to sleep again." Guo Xiang said.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Wei said, "why did you bite people?"

"Xu Wei, I doubt..." Guo Xiang looked at Xu Wei. "Look at the old man, his body is convulsive, hot and sweaty. He seems to be afraid of water!"

"There are hallucinations, sometimes confused and manic. Just now someone opened the curtain, he shouted. This is photophobia..."

"You mean... Rabies?" Xu Wei looked at the sleeping old man strangely, and then looked at the wound he had just treated. His face was white.

All these symptoms are the same as those of a rabies attack.

Hydrophobia, in particular, is endemic to rabies.

Because of the influence of the virus, patients who hear the sound of water, see water or drink water will cause reflex pharyngeal muscle spasm and extreme pain. Therefore, although patients are thirsty, they dare not drink water and cannot swallow after drinking, resulting in dehydration. 80% of rabies patients have this typical performance.

"Has the old man been bitten by a dog before he came to your house?" Guo Xiang hurriedly asked the couple.

"I don't know!" They shook their heads. They really didn't know when they asked.

Guo Xiang was helpless. He went to roll up the old man's pants and checked them. There was no foot.

Looking at the other foot, I really saw a wound. I could see that it was a tooth mark, and it was relatively new.

Although there was a scab, it was a relatively new scab, probably only two or three days ago.

Guo Xiang looked serious. He quickly took a cotton swab from the side, pinched the old man's mouth and stuck some saliva. If it was rabies, there would be rabies virus in the patient's saliva.

Then Xu Wei... She looked at Xu Wei's hand. The old man bit his hand and bled. There must be saliva on his teeth. The virus in saliva may also enter Xu Wei's body.

Guo Xiang's face became very serious. He took the test tube and loaded the cotton swab. "Take it for test immediately!"

In the laboratory, add the corresponding reagent into the instrument, and everyone is waiting anxiously.

Before long, the same virus lineage as rabies appeared on the computer screen.

It's rabies!

Xu Wei's face turned white.

"Go to the epidemic prevention station to get vaccinated immediately to see if there is rabies virus serum or immunoglobulin. Go quickly!" Guo Xiang said hurriedly.

Generally speaking, if bitten by a dog, it is best to vaccinate within 24 hours, which can most effectively prevent rabies.

Immunoglobulin injection is a passive immunotherapy. It is to deliver a large number of antibodies contained in immunoglobulin to the recipient, so that it can quickly reach the temporary immune protection state from low or no immune state.

Because of the interaction between antibody and antigen, it can directly neutralize toxin and kill bacteria and viruses. Therefore, immunoglobulin products play a certain role in preventing bacterial and viral infection.

In other words, immunoglobulin can quickly improve your immunity against the virus. Compared with the vaccine, the effect is slow, but the lasting effect is long. Therefore, in order to prevent the acute attack of the virus, it is best to inject immunoglobulin.

Now it has been determined that there is rabies virus in the elderly, the possibility of infection has greatly increased, and acute prevention is necessary.

"Take my car!" Guo Xiang took out the car key, "let Zeng Jing take you, she can drive!"

Zeng Jing worked in the United States for some time. It's normal to be able to drive.

"Don't worry, it may not be infected!" Guo Xiang patted Xu Wei on the shoulder.

But if the infection is 100% dead, the old man won't live for a few days.

Xu Wei nodded. It's no use saying anything now. Let's take a preventive injection first.

Xu Wei found Zeng Jingyi and said that she was shocked. She quickly drove Guo Xiang's car to send Xu Wei to the epidemic prevention station.

Guo Xiang took the test results to the ward. The couple hurried up, "doctor, how's it going?"

"It's rabies!" Guo Xiang said with a dignified face.

"So what? Can you cure it? " The man asked.

Guo Xiang shook his head. "There is no cure for rabies."

"What?" The man was shocked. He didn't expect that he would die as soon as he picked up his uncle?

"So... How long can he live?" Asked the man's daughter-in-law.

"Just one or two days!" Guo Xiang replied.

Rabies basically dies in seven days, four days faster, ten days at most. So some people are bitten by dogs. If the dog doesn't die after ten days, it can be basically determined that there is no rabies, and people will be fine.

The young couple looked at each other. No one thought it would be like this. They picked up their uncle and he was going to die in two days.

The man's eyes became red. His mother had just died of illness, and he didn't expect his uncle to follow.

His daughter-in-law patted his hand and comforted, "at least we can die for him. If we don't pick him up, he's dead at home alone. No one knows."

Guo Xiang nodded. Yes, for the old man, at least he had relatives with him before he died.

"What else can we do now?" The man wiped the corner of his eye and asked.

"Don't do anything, accompany the old man on the last trip!" Guo Xiang shook his head.

The man sat at the head of the old man's bed and held his hand. He thought that the old man had lived such a hard life. He finally took it over. He also thought that he could enjoy a few days of happiness. He didn't expect to leave so soon. Tears couldn't help flowing down.

The old man opened his eyes vaguely. He may have had an illusion. He looked at his nephew and said, "Jane, is that you? Have you come to pick me up? "

The man's eyes turned red and held back his tears. "It's me. I came to see you."

The old man shed a line of muddy tears. "Jane, I'm sorry. I'm not good. I don't care about my children."

Guo Xiang's eyes turned red.

"I don't blame you. You didn't mean it. I forgive you!" The man broke into tears.

The old man's face showed a relieved smile. His wife forgave himself. He slowly closed his eyes.

The instrument screamed wildly. Guo Xiang didn't move. She turned her face and held back the tears in her eyes. The man's daughter-in-law cried.

After that, the man paid the medical expenses and sent the old man's body to the crematorium for the last trip.

Guo Xiang looked at the car in the crematorium and felt some emotion. Things are changeable. Some people have lived their lives in such pain.

So I should cherish my life now.

When Xu Wei comes back, Zeng Jing returns the car key to Guo Xiang.

"How's it going?" Asked Guo Xiang.

"The first shot and immunoglobulin." Zeng Jing said, still a little melancholy.

"It should be all right!" Guo Xiang patted her hand. It should be no problem to prevent it so timely.

Both nodded. They were both doctors. Naturally, they knew that this was a matter of probability. If they were lucky, they would be fine. If they didn't have an attack in a few days, they probably wouldn't be infected.

Xu Wei's figure has always been very good. She played immunoglobulin again. She should be fine.

It will be all right. Zeng Jing comforted herself.
