Chapter 1021 There is no cure

  At this time, Xu Wei also treated the wound back.

   "How is it?" Xu Wei asked.

   "Gave some stability, and went to sleep again." Guo Xiang said.

   "What the **** is going on?" Xu Wei said, "Why are you still biting?"

   "Xu Wei, I doubt..." Guo Xiang looked at Xu Wei, "Look at the old man, he has body cramps, high fever, sweating, and he seems to be afraid of water!"

   "I have hallucinations, sometimes delirious, manic, and he yelled when someone opened the curtain just now. This is photophobia..."

  "You mean...rabies?" Xu Wei looked at the sleeping old man in inconceivable way, and then at the wound he had just treated, his face turned pale.

  All these symptoms are the same as those of a rabies attack.

  Especially water fear, which is unique to rabies.

Due to the influence of the virus, when the patient hears the sound of water, sees water, or drinks water, it will cause reflex pharyngeal muscle spasm, which is extremely painful. Therefore, although the patient is thirsty, he dare not drink water and cannot swallow after drinking, which causes dehydration. 80% of rabies patients have this typical manifestation.

  "Have the old man been bitten by a dog before he came to your house?" Guo Xiang hurriedly asked the young couple.

   "I don't know!" The two shook their heads, asking three questions.

  Guo Xiang helpless, walked over and checked the corners of the old man’s trousers, but he didn’t have one foot.

  Looking at the other foot again, I saw a wound, and I could see that it was a tooth mark, and it was relatively new.

   Although the scabs are formed, they are relatively new ones, probably only two or three days ago.

  Guo Xiang looked serious, and quickly took a cotton swab from the side and squeezed the old man’s mouth to stick some saliva. If it is rabies, the patient’s saliva will contain rabies virus.

  Then Xu Wei... She looked at Xu Wei's hand. The old man bit his hand and bleeds. Saliva must be sticking to his teeth. The virus in the saliva may also enter Xu Wei's body.

  Guo Xiang's face became very serious, he took the test tube and installed the cotton swab, "Take it for the test now!"

  When I arrived in the laboratory, I added the corresponding reagents into the instrument, and everyone was waiting anxiously.

  Not long after, the same virus lineage as rabies appeared on the computer screen.

  It really is rabies!

  Xu Wei's face turned pale.

   "Go to the epidemic prevention station to get a vaccine right away and see if there is rabies virus serum or immunoglobulin. Go!" Guo Xiang said hurriedly.

  Generally speaking, if you are bitten by a dog, it is best to get the vaccine within 24 hours, which can prevent rabies most effectively.

  And injection of immunoglobulin is a passive immunotherapy. It loses a large number of antibodies contained in immunoglobulin to the recipient, so that it can quickly reach a temporary immune protection state from a low or no immune state.

  Due to the interaction between antibodies and antigens, they can directly neutralize toxins and kill bacteria and viruses. Therefore, immunoglobulin products have a certain effect on preventing bacterial and viral infections.

  In other words, immunoglobulin can quickly improve human immunity against viruses. Compared with the vaccine, the effect is slower, but the lasting effect is long. Therefore, it is best to inject immunoglobulin in order to prevent the acute attack of the virus.

  Now that it has been determined that the elderly have rabies virus in their bodies, the possibility of infection is greatly increased, and acute prevention is necessary.

  "Drive my car!" Guo Xiang took out the car key, "Let Zeng Jing take you there, she can drive!"

  Zeng Jing used to work in the United States for a period of time and it is normal to drive.

   "Don't worry, it may not be infected!" Guo Xiang patted Xu Wei on the shoulder.

  But if the infection is 100% dead, the old man will not live for a few days.

  Xu Wei nodded. Now it’s useless to say anything. Let’s get vaccinated first.

  Xu Wei found Zeng Jing and said that she was shocked, and drove Guo Xiang’s car to send Xu Wei to the epidemic prevention station.

  Guo Xiang took the test results to the ward, and the young couple hurriedly greeted him, "Doctor, how is it?"

   "It's rabies!" Guo Xiang said solemnly.

  "What should I do? Can it be cured?" The man asked quickly.

  Guo Xiang shook his head, "Rabies is incurable."

   "What?" The man was shocked. He didn't expect that he was going to die just after he picked up his uncle?

   "Then... how long can he live?" the man's wife asked.

  "It's only these two days!" Guo Xiang replied.

  When rabies starts, it will die within seven days, and it will be four days soon, up to ten days. So some people are bitten by a dog. If the dog does not die after ten days, it is basically certain that there is no rabies, and the person will be fine.

  The young couple looked at each other. No one thought that this would happen, and he was about to die within two days after he took his uncle over.

  The man’s eye circles turned red, and soon after his mother passed away, he didn’t expect his uncle to follow along.

  His wife patted his hand and comforted, “At least we can still send him the end. If he didn’t take it, no one would know if he was dead at home alone.”

  Guo Xiang nodded, yes, for the old man, at least there are relatives by his side before his death.

   "Then what else can we do now?" The man wiped the corner of his eye and asked.

   "Don't do anything, let's accompany the elderly one last time!" Guo Xiang shook his head.

The man sat on the head of the old man’s bed and shook his hand, thinking that the old man had had such a hard life in his life, and finally took it over, and also wanted to let him enjoy the blessing for a few days. He couldn’t think of leaving so soon, and tears could not help but shed. .

  The old man opened his eyes in a daze. He may have hallucinations. He looked at his nephew and said, "Azhen, is that you? Are you here to pick me up?"

  The man's eyes were red, and he held back his tears, "It's me, I came to see you."

  The old man shed a line of murky tears, "Azhen, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I am not optimistic about the child."

  Guo Xiang's eye circles turned red.

   "I don't blame you, you didn't mean it, I forgive you!" The man couldn't cry.

  A relieved smile appeared on the old man’s face. His wife forgave himself, so he slowly closed his eyes.

  The instrument screamed frantically, Guo Xiang didn't move, she turned her face to hold back the tears in her eyes, and the man's wife next to her cried out.

  After that, the man settled the medical bills and sent the old man’s body to the crematorium for the last trip.

  Guo Xiang watched the car in the crematorium walk far away with emotion. Things are impermanent. Some people have lived their lives in pain like this.

  So I have to cherish my current life.

When Xu Wei came back, Zeng Jing returned the car key to Guo Xiang.

   "How is it?" Guo Xiang asked.

  "The first shot was given, and I was also given an immunoglobulin." Zeng Jing said, still a little melancholy.

   "It should be okay!" Guo Xiang patted her hand, preventing it in such a timely manner, it should be no problem.

  Both of them nodded. They are both doctors and naturally know that this is a probability problem. If you are lucky, you will be fine. If there is no attack in a few days, there is a high probability that you will not be infected.

  Xu Wei's body has always been very good, and he should be fine if he is given immunoglobulin again.

   will be fine, Zeng Jing comforts herself.
