Chapter 387

Rabies is an acute infectious disease caused by rabies virus. It is common between humans and animals. It is mostly seen in carnivorous animals such as dogs, wolves and cats. People are often infected by bites by sick animals.

The clinical manifestations were specific fear of water, wind, pharyngeal muscle spasm, progressive paralysis and so on. This disease is also called hydrophobia because of its prominent symptoms.

Rabies virus belongs to the family Rhabdoviridae, the genus rabies virus. It is a single stranded RNA virus. Animals spread the virus by biting each other.

China's rabies is mainly transmitted by dogs. Domestic dogs can become asymptomatic carriers, so apparently healthy dogs do great harm to people's health.

There is still a lack of effective treatment for rabies. The mortality of people suffering from rabies is nearly 100%. Patients generally die of respiratory or circulatory failure within 3 ~ 6 days, so preventive measures should be strengthened.

It can be said that in western medicine, the mortality rate is almost 100%, which is very terrible. However, Xiao Chen knew that in the countryside, he had a lot of contact with his master and his wife. No matter how serious the attack was, he was finally saved by his master.

For this kind of patients, they must be particularly effective in medication, because the incubation period is long and short. If patients quickly enter the excitement period, it is very serious for those patients.

However, Xiao Chen has not seen the patient first, so he can't draw a conclusion.

"How's it going, Dr. Xiao?" Shen wanqin asked.

If Xiao Chen can't treat it, there's no need to say it again.

Of course, the reason why she waited for more than three hours at the Tang State Medical Museum was that she believed that Xiao Chen's medical skills introduced by her friends were feasible.

Before long, there was a knock outside the door. Shen wanqin said, "come in."

"President, here comes Maomao."

Xiao Chen looked over and found that it was a furry pet dog with all white fur. Xiao Chen didn't know those pet dogs, so he didn't know what kind of pet dog it was.

But this pet dog is small.

After Shen wanqin held her in the past, the hairy hair was in Shen wanqin's arms. Xiao Chen just found that the beautiful sister had always had a cold expression, but now she showed a gentle smile.

She was laughing at the dog in her arms.

At that moment, it seemed that Miss Shen was really beautiful!

"Miss Shen, it's important for the patient to see a doctor. I don't know where the patient is?"

Xiao Chen knows that just after Shen wanqin introduced her name, Xiao Chen knows that if she calls the other party's sister again, the other party may be unhappy.

"Dr. Xiao, come with me!"

Xiao Chen followed Shen wanqin to a room.

At this time, the male employee was locked in. He was bitten by a pet dog last month. At that time, it may not be serious. Unexpectedly, he began to have symptoms similar to the incubation period of rabies a few days ago.

The next is more serious, with symptoms of invasion.

Such as low fever, loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue and discomfort, which is similar to "cold"; Then there is fear, uneasiness, sensitivity to sound, light, wind, pain, etc., and a sense of throat tightening.

After treatment and blood examination by the attending doctor of the hospital, it was found that it was the attack symptoms of rabies.

Although the attending doctor of the hospital has given him a series of treatment, it has no effect.

Now his situation has entered a period of excitement and is locked in a room without light, wind or even sound.

In the excitement period of rabies, the patient gradually enters a highly excited state, which is characterized by extreme terror, fear of water, fear of wind, paroxysmal pharyngeal muscle spasm, dyspnea, dysuria and salivation, etc.

Hydrophobia is a special symptom of rabies. Typical people can cause severe pharyngeal muscle spasm when they see water, drink water, listen to the sound of running water or even just mention drinking water.

Fear of wind is also one of the common symptoms. Breeze or other stimuli such as light, sound and touch can cause pharyngeal muscle spasm, and severe fashion can cause painful convulsions of the whole body.

Now after the patient is picked up from the hospital, he is temporarily locked in that room.

Xiao Chen was taken outside the door of the room by Shen wanqin and a staff member. Even if he had not opened the door, Xiao Chen had seen inside with perspective eyes. A man in his forties was curling up in the corner of the room. His eyes looked very strange and serious.

"In fact, I have informed the patient's family to come." Shen wanqin said.

It's not that she doesn't want to be sent to the hospital for treatment, but those hospitals treat these patients. Because there are no specific drugs, they are almost locked in a room, and even tied to the hospital bed.

If you go crazy, you may also look crazy.

Shen wanqin was just outside the door, and she didn't follow in.

The staff member opened the door and Xiao Chen went in, then closed the door. When he was ready to turn on the light, Xiao Chen said, "don't turn on the light, I can see clearly."

Now the patient has entered the excitement period of rabies. He is afraid of light, sound, wind and water. He is afraid of almost everything, so he will curl up in the corner, and the other party's mind can't be like a normal person.

"Dr. Xiao, he may not bite, but he will be crazy." The staff member said.

"Then why did President Shen lock him up here?"

"President Shen is afraid that he will be sent to the hospital. No one cares. Therefore, he can only take good care of him here. In fact, President Shen has sent him to the hospital for treatment for more than half a month. Unexpectedly, the situation is becoming more and more serious. Imported drugs have been used and have no effect."

Xiao Chen walked over. The man curled up in the corner suddenly looked up. From the other party's look and action, it was really a little similar to those dogs.

This is obviously the state of rabies attack, but the other party should still be a little rational.

Xiao Chen didn't need to see much. He knew the patient's state now.

Moreover, there are several red hairs on the patient's head, which are hard and straight. Moreover, the stool pulled out by the patient is bloody and very hard.

These are recorded in ancient books. After all, China has been living with dogs, wolves and foxes for thousands of years. When these animals are infected with rabies, bite people and infect people, then ancient books must also have records.

"There will be some red hair on his head."

Red hair?

The staff member can't see or understand.

Xiao Chen didn't stay any longer. She came out of the room with the staff member. Shen wanqin saw that Xiao Chen still looked like that and asked, "Dr. Xiao, I don't know if it can be treated?"

"Miss Shen, can you answer me a question before I treat him?"

"Of course." Shen wanqin said.

"Then you say human life is important? Or is the dog's life important? "

"Of course it's all important." Shen wanqin said.

Xiao Chen didn't say anything more. He came down from upstairs with Shen wanqin. Xiao Chen said, "I can treat his condition. I can make him recover within half a month."
