Conan: The Mechanic

At night, in a room with no lights on, only a dimly lit candle reflecting the surrounding scene. Fujioka Takamichi made an appointment with the members of the Junior Detective Corps to tell them about his experience in the epidemic area some time ago.

"Ah, that's right," Takashi Fujioka looked at the children in front of him indifferently, holding an unlit cigarette. "I just came back from the village where those infected with the bacteria are. Rest assured, I'm not infected, and I've been back for a few days with no signs of it."

"When I first arrived there, I didn't actually know there was such a terrible thing there. It was just because I heard that there was an abnormal situation there when I was investigating nearby. There is a factory nearby, so I thought I could interview. The factory illegally discharges dangerous substances, causing the villagers over there to get sick or something."

"But after I went there, I found out that the factory's drainage pipe was downstream of the villagers' water area, and further down was the ocean, and the water itself seemed to be very clean. Although I was disappointed and prepared to leave, But I stumbled across something strange, and that's contagion."

"When I first went there, only the old man was coughing in the family where the store opened, but when I finished investigating the drainage pipe and was about to buy some bread from the store to eat on the way back, I found that the family had already Coughing started, and there were even red rashes on the faces of the elderly and their young children."

"I still didn't know it was a very dangerous bacteria, but I knew there must be something wrong with it." The end of the cigarette in Fujioka Takada's mouth suddenly burst into a small flame - this is the taillight of the electronic cigarette, What was used to simulate the fire was actually not real smoke, but water vapour emanating from the end. "So I was like the boss in the news agency reporting the incident and explaining that their bodies were abnormal."

"My boss suggested that I ask the doctor in the village to see the symptoms first, so I went to the doctor. The doctor asked me to put on a mask and go with him to see what happened."

"When the doctor first arrived there, he judged it to be some kind of allergic reaction, so he started investigating whether there was any allergen or something."

"But then, the doctor and I saw that a customer who came to buy something was also coughing and had a red rash on his body - we realized at that time that something was wrong."

"The doctor took me directly back to the clinic, and then let me stay in a clinic with no one, and then he called the epidemic prevention center."

"I admit that I was quite nervous at the time, because I didn't know what was causing these symptoms, but I couldn't think of anything at the time. The next period of time was the most stressful time."

"Think about it when you and other at-risk patients, who are healthy, are put on gowns and masks, put in an ambulance, put in quarantine at the hospital, and told 'you It's such a desperate thing to be infected by the same thing as them." When he said this, the expression on Fujioka Takamichi's face was quite lingering.

"Why are you locked up too?" Yuan Tai said dissatisfied. "Wouldn't it be alright to lock up those patients?"

"They didn't know what happened to those people at the time," Fujioka Takashi smiled and shook his head. "They were worried that it was a disease with a long incubation period, so they kept me for examination. Although they were cruel, they did the right thing. Only in this way can they be a doctor who is responsible to the people."

"They never found the cause - at first they suspected a parasitic disease caused by contaminated water, so they gave a lung X-ray scan of a volunteer who had participated in the trial, and also performed a lung X-ray on his The sputum was examined. They even performed a lung biopsy on another volunteer after finding no clues in this patient to find further useful information. They still didn't find the answer, but soon the answer would not be needed They went looking for it."

"Why?" Mitsuhiko asked. "Could it be that someone found out what happened?"

"It's almost the same, but it's a lot more cruel." After taking a puff of cigarette, Fujioka Takashi announced the answer with a calm expression again. "Because the first patient has died, the child of the store."

"The doctor performed an autopsy on the child's body and found that although the blood test did not reveal any abnormality, although he passed the initial blood test, he found neutrophils in the final examination at the end of his life. A state of massive increase in cells -- which means it's a very weird bacterial infection."

"They ended up finding bacteria in the blood that they hadn't seen before -- something that other patients with the disease had not seen before. After doing a Gram stain~www.readwn.com~ they concluded that this It was a gram-positive bacterium, and the patient was immediately given cefazolin for symptomatic treatment."

"What is cefazolin?" At this moment, Mitsuhiko asked Chiba, who was sitting next to him, in a low voice. "Is it an antibiotic?"

"First write down the words you don't understand, and talk about them slowly later." Qian Yu shook her head and said. "Listen to him before you finish."

"Although cefazolin was given for treatment, it is strange that the effect is not satisfactory." Fujioka Takamichi continued. "One to two days, six days after the entire outbreak, a large number of patients suddenly developed symptoms of bacterial blooms and died quickly when the bacteria had not been detected in the last blood test not long ago. ."

"The doctors were very surprised, and after the discussion, it was likely that cefazolin was not effective against all gram-positive bacteria, so they prepared the last resort for those who had the condition - vancomycin. It is a kind of A super drug with a very good effect on Gram-positive bacteria, and the most powerful antibiotic in this area right now."

"But even the drug didn't completely stop the bacterial outbreak, and while the majority of the patients had some degree of control, about a quarter of the patients actually had their bacteria completely eliminated. , but three-quarters of the patients who were not completely eliminated also died within 9 days, and many of those patients whose bacteria were completely eliminated also developed nephrotoxic symptoms caused by high-dose administration due to the critical condition. receiving treatment."

"So, although we have mastered the land, we can even cruise the sky and ocean..." Fujioka Takashi turned off the electronic cigarette and sighed. "But we're still so vulnerable sometimes...still so powerless..."
