Chapter 590: Diagnosis, Special Treatment for Tomb Disease
Li Quan remembered very clearly that he had been studying the contents on the stone tablet until five in the morning last night, and then he was so sleepy that he fell into a deep sleep.
According to his usual habits, no matter how tired or sleepy he was after reading or doing something, he could only sleep until about eight o'clock the next morning.
You can feel full of energy after getting up.
But this time I slept for a whole day. What happened?
Is there something wrong with my body?
At this moment, Li Quan's head was still a little dizzy.
He was vaguely aware of the seriousness of the problem.
"Director, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup now! During the day, the experts from the First Hospital of Beijing were waiting for you to come over for a consultation. The three antique dealers who were first infected took the fever medicine you prescribed, and today is the last day. Now, their basal body temperature has dropped back down.
The condition started to worsen.”
Ye Ru recounted what happened during the day.
Li Quan played an important role in the previous consultation. Both the experts and leaders of Beijing First Hospital and the official leaders of Beijing's health system attached great importance to him.
But at this critical moment, Li Quan slept for the whole day.
This made those experts and leaders who were at a loss what to do very anxious.
"Fever medicine can only be taken for a maximum of three days in a row, and they must not take it anymore. Haven't the experts found a way to control that unknown fungus yet?" As soon as the patient was mentioned, Li Quan immediately became alert.
This kind of performance made the doctors and police officers present secretly give them a thumbs up.
The four words "a doctor has a benevolent heart" are perfectly embodied in Li Quan.
"President Li, I am ashamed to say that we, many experts and scholars, have held two consultations and discussions, but have not found an effective solution. That unknown fungus is extremely difficult to deal with. Almost all antibiotics and compound ointments currently on the market are ineffective against it.
Its reproduction rate is also extremely amazing.
In addition, the CDC staff conducted a more in-depth study in the laboratory on the morphology, structure, metabolic activity, inheritance and variation, pathogenic mechanism, anti-infection immunity, laboratory diagnosis and specific prevention of this unknown fungus. It was found that as long as they parasitize on living people, they are almost invincible.
Whether using a high temperature environment or concentrated acid drugs for disinfection and sterilization, they will be harmed.
As long as they suck human blood, they can quickly recover.
They even became more active and reproduced faster.”
Upon hearing that Li Quan had health problems, the director of the First Hospital in the capital actually rushed over to visit him in person.
At this moment, he was telling Li Quan about the new findings from the CDC.
"It is normal that this unknown fungus is not afraid of any antibiotics on the market. This is because antibiotics are generally produced by molds and actinomycetes among fungi. For example, the most commonly used ones are penicillin, erythromycin, streptomycin, etc."
After listening to this, Li Quan showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
Most antibiotics are produced by fungi.
Some antibiotics are also produced by bacteria.
In fact, there is a hierarchical division among bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Bacteria are the ancestors, the oldest and the longest-lived.
Fungi come second.
The virus strikes again.
Especially viruses, they are actually fragments of bacteria. In this world, bacteria came first, then viruses.
There are many species of bacteria that are beneficial to the human body or other organisms.
Viruses are fragments of bacteria that evolved the ability to replicate themselves. They can replicate like crazy and then turn around and attack bacteria.
If I have to describe it, the virus is equivalent to a villain.
It is an evil existence.
Bacteria and fungi, there are good ones and bad ones.
For example, the mushrooms we often eat are a type of fungus.
It is not only delicious but also has high nutritional value.
"Since we have discovered that this unknown fungus depends on human blood, can we start from this aspect and find a breakthrough?" Li Quan put forward his idea.
"Well, it's not easy to start with the blood! They parasitize in the human blood and are almost everywhere. There is no way to separate them from the human blood."
One expert smiled bitterly and shook his head.
We all have chemistry brains, and one must have a very high IQ to become a doctor.
Li Quan could think of starting from blood to find a breakthrough, so how could others not think of it?
It's just an idea, but it's extremely difficult to actually implement it.
Almost impossible to achieve.
"This can be used as an idea. Let the leaders seek help from the Institute of Hematology Research, and perhaps we can gain something." A gleam of light flashed in Li Quan's eyes.
The blood research results he obtained from American experts were from more than ten years ago, but they are more than ten to twenty years ahead of current blood research in China.
The United States is home to the world's top scientists, and in many areas of scientific research it is thirty to fifty years ahead of China.
Although China is trying hard to catch up and has surpassed the United States in many areas, it must also face up to the gap between itself and the United States.
"Look at my poor memory. I almost forgot the contribution that Dean Li made to our country's blood research field. OK, I will report this matter to my superiors immediately."
The director of Beijing No. 1 Hospital readily agreed.
The news that Li Quan used traditional Chinese medicine skills to exchange for the blood research results of the United States has already spread throughout the entire circle.
Many people knew about this.
"Dean Li, there is something I want to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."
"President Wu, please speak!"
Li Quan and Wu Zhaoxing are both directors of Grade 3A hospitals.
In terms of status and seniority, Wu Zhaoxing, the director of the First Hospital in Beijing, must be higher.
Beijing No. 1 Hospital is a special-grade hospital, the top-level hospital among the tertiary hospitals. Although Huier Hospital is much better than the average tertiary hospital, it still fails to meet the special-grade standard.
What’s more, he is the director of the Beijing Hospital, which is something that local hospitals cannot compare to.
"Dean Li doesn't look well. Plus, you suddenly fell into a coma for the whole day and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we called you. The three antique dealers who were the first to get sick also had these symptoms. I suggest you get checked again immediately to see if you're infected with that unknown fungus."
When saying this, Dean Wu instinctively distanced himself from Li Quan out of self-protection.
Three days ago, Li Quan had a test at the Beijing No. 1 Hospital and was not infected with the unknown fungus.
The emergence of similar symptoms now is really worrying.
"Okay! I will immediately cooperate with the CDC to do the testing." Li Quan's expression was serious.
In fact, shortly after he woke up, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Ye Ru, for your own safety, you should also take a test! If I had known earlier, I should not have let you stay. It's me who has harmed you."
Li Quan looked at Ye Ru apologetically.
"Dean, please don't say that. As a medical worker, I have no reason to back down from the disease. Even if I am unfortunately infected with that terrible unknown fungus, I will never regret it."
Ye Ru's eyes were clear and her expression was sincere.
"President Wu, if I am really diagnosed, it means that this unknown fungus has an incubation period. When you are just infected, you can't detect it at all. This matter must be reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immediately. There are more than 8,000 people participating in the medical skills competition. Most of them are doctors. They will treat patients when they go back.
If someone gets infected, the consequences will be disastrous in a special place like a hospital where there are dense crowds and high mobility. "
If the situation Li Quan described happened, it would definitely be an unprecedented disaster.
In a month, China's more than one billion people will all fall.
Because this unknown fungus is extremely contagious.
…
The infectious disease complex building of the Beijing First Hospital has been blocked.
This place has become a cage in the bustling city.
All patients who have been diagnosed with infection with unknown fungi are now quarantined here.
Li Quan and Ye Ru, as well as some people who had contact with them, all had their blood drawn for tests.
It was already one o'clock in the morning. The staff of the CDC, fully armed, were working overtime to help Li Quan and others with testing.
While sitting here waiting for the test results, Li Quan finally had the opportunity to check out Wu Zixu's favorability and see what miraculous medical skills he could exchange for.
When opening the exchange list, the first thing that caught my eye was the option of exchanging Wu Zixu's miraculous medical skills.
It looks like there's hope.
Li Quan was very excited.
The test results haven't come out yet, but he knows that the probability of him being diagnosed is extremely high.
If no cure is found, death will await him.
His fiancée Sophie is still waiting for him to return to Shanghai.
His elderly parents are still waiting for him, their only son, to take care of them until the end of their lives.
Huier Hospital is still waiting for him to return to lead and manage.
Many of the miraculous medical skills have not yet been passed on to successors.
Although leukemia drugs have been developed, there has not been enough time to conduct in-depth research on drugs to treat various cancers based on them.
Li Quan still has many wishes that have not been fulfilled.
He was unwilling to die like this.
The only way is to save yourself.
Find a way to eliminate this unknown fungus.
I couldn't wait to click on the list of Wu Zixu's miraculous medical skills.
[Specialized medical skills for tomb diseases, can treat various fungi and corpse poisons in tombs, requires a favorability of 100. Can be exchanged.]
I didn't expect that Wu Zixu only had one medical skill.
Instead, it is specially designed for tomb robbery.
Because there are dead bodies buried in the tombs, after the corpses decompose, it is likely that various viruses, bacteria and fungi will breed.
For example, Ganoderma lucidum is a saprophytic fungus and often grows on coffin boards.
Especially in some collapsed tombs, where the coffins inside are exposed to the outside and begin to rot, Ganoderma lucidum is most likely to grow.
However, humans are very smart. They have simulated the growth environment of Ganoderma lucidum and have already realized artificial cultivation and planting.
Of course, the effect of this artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum is definitely not as good as the wild one.
For example, many experts have said that as long as it is an egg, the nutritional value is the same.
Eggs from laying hens fed with feed can be bought for 40 or 50 cents each, but eggs from farmers’ farms are sold at 1.5 yuan in the market, and are hard to come by.
If all eggs have the same nutritional value, is it necessary for so many ordinary people to spend three times more to buy free-range eggs?
Ganoderma lucidum is a fungus that is beneficial to humans.
There are also some fungi in the tomb that are harmful to humans.
Throughout history, there are many cases where tomb robbers broke into ancient tombs and unfortunately ended up being infected with various strange diseases.
The medical skills specialized in treating grave diseases came at the perfect time.
Li Quanzheng needs this medical skill to save himself.
He clicked redeem without hesitation.
The medical skills that require 100 favorability points to redeem are all high-level divine medical skills.
[Exchange failed. You need to learn the plague treatment first and reach the minor success level before you can exchange and learn the tomb disease treatment skill. ]
A line of red eye-catching reminder text appeared in Li Quan's eyes.
"Isn't this nonsense? Why would you fail at the critical moment?"
Li Quan had an urge to curse.
He was watching the medical skills that could save many lives, including his own, right in front of him, and he had already earned 100 points of favorability, enough to exchange for this medical skill.
But they set conditions for the exchange. He had to learn the treatment of plague first, and he had to reach the minor success level before he was allowed to exchange and learn it.
What should I do?
The key is where to find a specialist to treat the plague!
Li Quan was thinking of a solution with a worried look on his face.
More than two hours later, the test results came out.
Unknown fungus, test result, positive.
Won the lottery.
Li Quan was really infected with this terrible unknown fungus.
He recalled carefully that it was most likely that he shook hands with Professor Hawking during a medical skills competition. He did not have any protection at the time and was unfortunately infected.
Of course, it is also possible that the infection was acquired through subsequent contact.
When he really got this result, Li Quan still felt a little uncomfortable.
The road ahead is uncertain. If he cannot find a cure for this unknown fungus as soon as possible, he will surely die.
At the same time, many people will die.
Li Quan has now been diagnosed, which means he has to be quarantined.
At this time, he heard the sound of someone sobbing.
Seems to be a girl.
Sounds familiar.
Turning around, I saw Ye Ru sobbing there.
Looking at her terrified expression, you can tell that she was unfortunately infected as well.
"Ye Ru, don't be afraid. I will do everything I can to find a cure for this disease caused by this unknown fungus. You will be fine."
Li Quan comforted her in a gentle voice.
You can see that she is holding a test result sheet in her hand, and the status column clearly says positive.
This also means that she has been diagnosed as well.
It is not known how she became infected.
It is possible that he had contact with Professor Hawking when he was Li Quan's assistant.
It is also possible that she was infected by Li Quan.
“Mmm…”
Ye Ru was just sobbing quietly at first, but Li Quan walked over to her and comforted her, which made her cry even more sadly.
At this time, Ye Ru made a move that caught Li Quan off guard.
She suddenly stood up and threw herself into Li Quan's arms.
Cry loudly.
Li Quan was so warm and soft that he was a little overwhelmed.
Although he knew that Ye Ru might be frightened, he regarded himself as the only person he could rely on and trust at the scene, so he took the initiative to throw himself into Li Quan's arms.
But there are differences between men and women, and Li Quan will definitely feel something strange when she throws herself into his arms.
"Dean, will I die? If something really happens to me, my parents will definitely be worried sick. My grandparents can't stand this kind of blow." Ye Ru's eyes were red, and she looked at Li Quan's eyes with tears still in her eyes.
