Early Tang Dynasty Concubine

Chapter 526 The Plague is Coming
"Master, something is wrong, something is wrong!" Cheng Churui sat lazily on the rocking chair, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, but such a beautiful feeling of returning home was about to come true, and was broken by the bastard Li Zhong, Cheng Churui It has been decided that if this kid doesn't say a word or three, he will definitely deal with Li Zhong properly.

"What's the matter! You're making such a fuss, people who don't know how to do big things, do you want Mount Tai to collapse in front of you without changing your face? Take your time!" Cheng Churui looked at the butler Li Zhong who was panting like a bellows, and said to himself that he pretended to be a B. .

"Hoohoo!" Li Zhong, who was being taught a lesson, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Master, something big happened, it's a big mess!"

Cheng Churui jumped up from the rocking chair when he heard the word smallpox, and shouted: "You boy, tell me clearly, where, when, and when did it start!" Just kidding, smallpox, that's smallpox .

Smallpox is a severe infectious disease caused by the smallpox virus infecting humans. After recovery, people can be immune for life.Smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It is highly contagious and serious. Anyone who has never suffered from smallpox or has not been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected. The main manifestation is severe viremia. Mortality is high.The most basic, effective and easiest preventive method is to vaccinate against vaccinia.The clinical manifestations of smallpox are severe and mild. The fatality rate of severe smallpox is about 25.5%, 45% of cases have confluent rash, and 79% have hemorrhage; the fatality rate of light smallpox is 0.1% to 1.0%.Smallpox virus is a kind of pox virus. There is no specific medicine to cure people after being infected. After the patient recovers, there will be pockmarks on the face. "Smallpox" got its name from this.The appearance of smallpox virus is brick-shaped, about 200 nanometers × 300 nanometers. It has strong resistance and can resist dryness and low temperature. It can survive for several months to one and a half years on scabs, dust and clothing.

In ancient times, the only way to get smallpox was to wait for death in isolation and then wait for death, and there was no other way, even if they really survived, the sequelae would make them neither human nor ghost.Cowpox!The first time I knew about this thing was in an article about a real person who traveled through the world.

This matter is too big, so Cheng Churui immediately thought of someone, Sun Simiao.

Comrade Lao Sun must have heard about it, and now he must go to the front line to check the situation.

"Li Zhong, how serious is the matter between you and my Uncle Wang?"

...Then Li Zhong told what happened. The most important thing is that now there is a palace, and there is already a dead concubine and a little prince, who were burned to death alive.

The first manifestations of this smallpox are: mainly symptoms of severe toxemia (chills, high fever, fatigue, headache, soreness in limbs and lower back, convulsions and coma when the body temperature rises sharply), macules, papules, and herpes appear in batches on the skin in sequence , pustules, and finally scabs and scabs, leaving acne scars.Smallpox was ferocious and developed rapidly, and the fatality rate was as high as 15% within 20 to 30 days after infection among unimmunized people.

Three to five days after the onset, rashes appeared on the patient's forehead, cheeks, wrists, arms, trunk, and lower limbs.It started as a red macule, then turned into papules, 3 to 5 days later, the papules turned into herpes, and then the herpes turned into pustular rash.Two to three days after the formation of impetigo, the scab gradually dries up and forms a thick scab. After about one month, the scab begins to fall off, leaving scars, commonly known as "spots".Severe smallpox patients are often accompanied by complications, such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, encephalitis, meningitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, otitis media, laryngitis, blindness, miscarriage, etc., which is the main cause of death caused by smallpox.

In ancient times, there was basically no good way, but Cheng Churui really knew one, whether it was reading a novel or looking up information later, that way can't cure it, but it can prevent it!
Vaccinia is an infectious disease that occurs in cattle. It is an acute infection caused by smallpox virus in cattle. Its symptoms are usually localized ulcers in the genitals of cows.The virus can be transmitted to humans through contact. It is more common in milkers and slaughterhouse workers. Papules appear on the skin of patients. These papules gradually develop into blisters, pustules, and some other symptoms.Historically, most cases of the disease occurred in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom.The virus can be found in cattle, cats, and voles.Human cases are rare, with an incubation period of 9 to 10 days, but infection with the vaccinia virus is fatal to patients with compromised immune systems.According to the current WHO report, the disease has now disappeared globally.

Vaccinia virus is a virus that causes mild vaccinia lesions in cattle.If a person is infected with the virus, he will only experience mild discomfort and develop resistance against the vaccinia virus.Since the vaccinia virus has the same antigenic properties as the smallpox virus that causes human smallpox, people can also acquire immunity against the smallpox virus at the same time after being inoculated with vaccinia. After the 18th century, cowpox was used as an immunization to prevent the highly contagious smallpox, and it was also the first successful case of immunization.

But where to get this sick cow, even if there are more cows in Chang'an City now, it is really difficult to find this cowpox. For the sake of everyone, mainly family members, he must find this thing, cowpox!

In the next two or three days, Quan Chang'an's cows would suffer as soon as they had cattle, and there would always be some dark shadows in the cowsheds and pens in the middle of the night.

You must know that stealing cows is a capital crime in this era, which is quite a serious crime, so this incident also alarmed Jingwuwei, but there was not a single cow lost in Manchang'an, but there will always be dark shadows appearing in the cowshed.

Slowly, various legends also began to appear, and the legends of gods and ghosts became more and more outrageous. Finally, it has developed into that the Jade Emperor wanted to eat beef, and sent Tu Xingsun to collect the beef.

In short, this incident became more and more troublesome, and finally after Li Ergouzi's cattle were lost, this incident stopped.

At this time, Sun Simiao had already prepared his bags, and he was going to the place where the disaster was worst with his apprentices, and you couldn't stop them.In the end, it was easy to talk about it, and Sun Simiao agreed, and finally waited for two days.

Now the whole of Chang'an is panicking, the imperial palace has already been acquired, and everyone in the imperial concubine's palace is surrounded by it. The ancient society is so ruthless, I would rather kill it than let it go.

"Okay! Very good! You have done a great job, boy, it was actually two knives that found the cow!" Cheng Churui said, patting the two knives, and then called Sun Simiao and said, "Old man, come and see, what is this thing?"

The only crime is that there are a few rotten bags in the belly of the cow, which looks like smallpox!It's a little different.Lao Sun didn't understand what Cheng Churui meant.Cheng Churui came to the belly of the cow with a smile, pierced a pustule with a knife, and then scratched lightly on his right arm...
