Chapter 386 The mutated Bunia virus

When Chen Tianlin heard the situation introduced by Dr. Liu, his first thought was that these patients must be infected with some kind of contagious virus. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? At this time, he quickly quickened his pace and headed towards the emergency department.

Run away.

When Chen Tianlin came to the emergency department, Liu Zhongming had already rushed to the emergency department. When Liu Zhongming saw Chen Tianlin coming after hearing the news, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Xiao Chen! I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come.

I heard the news first and rushed here myself."

When Chen Tianlin heard what Liu Zhongming said, he immediately asked Liu Zhongming: "Dean Liu! What is the specific situation? What virus has the patient been infected with? Has it been found out?"

"We have not yet found out the specific type of virus the patient is infected with, but according to the information we obtained from the patient, when the patient's father was cleaning the mud at the pond at home, there was a lot of grass on the edge of the pond. When he left the pond,

, the calf seems to have been bitten by something."

"At first, the patient's father didn't care, but he became ill the next day. Since the patient's father lived in the country, and the patient's mother thought the patient had eaten something unclean, she didn't pay much attention.

I got some medicine at the clinic in the village."

"After taking the medicine, the patient's father's condition did not improve. Instead, he developed symptoms of massive bleeding, and the patient's mother also began to get sick soon after. Finally, the patient and his wife were taken from the countryside to the city for treatment. Who would have thought that these two elderly people

He died one after another within two days of being admitted to our hospital."

"According to our preliminary information, in addition to this family of four, a nurse in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department was infected with the virus because of contact with two elderly people. In order to control the spread of the virus, I have just reported to the city health department

The epidemic prevention department will report." Liu Zhongming heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry and gave an introduction to Chen Tianlin about what he knew so far.

When Chen Tianlin heard the situation introduced by Liu Zhongming, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Although there are currently only five people who have contracted the virus due to contact with the two elderly people, Chen Tianlin is absolutely certain that more than these five people have been in contact with the two elderly people.

, plus the people who have been in contact with these five patients, if they are not handled well, another major infectious event similar to SARS may break out.

Realizing this, Chen Tianlin said to Liu Zhongming with a serious look on his face: "Dean Liu! The first step is to determine what virus the patient is infected with and at the same time control the scope of the virus. I am going to see the patient now, hoping to

Get to the root of the virus."

Chen Tianlin put on protective clothing and walked into the isolation room of the emergency department. When he saw the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed, he saw Chen Tianlin walking into the isolation room. He implored Chen Tianlin excitedly and weakly: "Doctor! Please!

Please, save my wife and daughter, please save them!"

Doctors have the heart of a parent! Seeing the pleading expression on the patient's face, Chen Tianlin comforted the middle-aged patient with sympathy: "Brother! Don't worry! Our hospital will do its best to cure your family.

Disease of the mouth.”

"Master! The virus detected in the patient's body belongs to Bunya virus!" Just when Chen Tianlin was in danger of being a middle-aged man, his brain suddenly received a message from the medical assistance system.

Chen Tianlin received the information transmitted by the medical assistance system, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked the medical assistance system: "System! Bunya virus is mainly transmitted through ticks, and the mortality rate is very low, and it is also

There has never been a case of human-to-human transmission, so why did these patients become infected with the virus after coming into contact with infected people?"

"Master! This is a mutated bunyavirus, which can also be called a new type of bunyavirus. It is an infectious case with fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia as the main clinical manifestations.

.”

"Direct contact with the patient's blood or bloody secretions can lead to infection. In humans, it can cause diseases similar to influenza or dengue fever, hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis. Ribavirin can be used for treatment." The medical assistance system received the message from Chen Tianlin and immediately sent it to the hospital.

Information related to this virus was passed to Chen Tianlin.

After identifying the virus that the patient was infected with, Chen Tianlin quickly had a complete treatment plan in mind. In order to avoid the virus's pathological changes, which would lead to organ failure in the patient's body, Chen Tianlin took the opportunity of examination to extract part of the virus from the patient's body, and then

Get out of the isolation ward.

As soon as Chen Tianlin walked out of the isolation room, Liu Zhongming and some doctors from the infectious disease department immediately came forward. Liu Zhongming held the examination report in his hand and said to Chen Tianlin with a puzzled look on his face: "Xiao Chen! The patient's blood sample test results have come out.

The patient was infected with Bunya virus, but according to the medical information we currently have, there has never been a case of Bunya virus being transmitted from person to person..."

"Director Liu! This is a mutated bunya virus. If my judgment is correct, it should be transmitted through the patient's blood or bloody secretions. It is mainly clinically characterized by fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia.

Therefore, it is recommended to use Ribavirin for treatment." Chen Tianlin immediately informed Liu Zhongming of his test results without waiting for Liu Zhongming to finish speaking.

Although Liu Zhongming didn't know how Chen Tianlin concluded that the virus was transmitted through blood and bloody secretions, Liu Zhongming still hoped that Chen Tianlin's judgment was true, because in this way they could effectively control the spread of the virus without worrying about the city's pursuit of the virus.

responsibility.

Although the bunya virus has mutated, it is not a serious disease for the People's Hospital. Currently, for Chen Tianlin, as long as part of the bunya virus is removed from the patient's body, the patient's condition can be stabilized.

Thinking that he still had many things to do, Chen Tianlin asked Liu Zhongming: "Dean Liu! Are the other three patients in the intensive care unit? I need to see these three patients to finally determine my

diagnosis."

When Dean Liu heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, he nodded subconsciously and replied: "Xiao Chen! A nurse from our hospital, as well as the wife and daughter of the patient in the isolation room, are all over there in the intensive care unit!

I'll go with you to take a look now."

"Dean Liu! What happened? Has the virus been identified? Is the situation serious?" Just when Liu Zhongming was planning to accompany Chen Tianlin to the intensive care unit, more than a dozen cadres from the health supervision department hurriedly

As he hurriedly walked into the emergency department from the outside, a cadre headed by him asked Liu Zhongming with a serious look on his face.
