Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

  Chapter 863 Is it Rabies?

   "Well, can it be confirmed or confirmed that a stroke is caused by that?" the old man asked, speaking a bit uncomfortably.

  "This is one of the methods. Open your mouth and let me have a look." Guo Xiang said.

  The old man opened his mouth, and sure enough, his tongue couldn't be centered, and it turned to one side.

  There is a possibility of stroke.

   "Master, do you usually have high blood pressure?" Guo Xiang asked while writing his medical records.

   "It's a bit tall, I have been taking medicine." The aunt helped him.

  Guo Xiang nodded, no wonder the blood pressure was not particularly high just now.

  "It is suspected that there is a stroke, but it may not be serious. You only see that the tongue is a little bit off and swallowing is a bit difficult, but there are no symptoms of crooked mouth and eyes or facial paralysis. Uncle, will you have weakness in your limbs?" Guo Xiang asked again.

   "It seems to be okay..." The uncle shook his head.

  Guo Xiang nodded. He walked in by himself just now, and his wife didn't support him either. He didn't seem to have his hands and feet leaning to one side when he left.

   "It's better to have a CT scan of the brain to confirm it." Guo Xiang said.

   "Let's do it then." The aunt nodded, always knowing if it's like this, it's good treatment.

  Guo Xiang opened the order and asked the old man to get a CT. After the results were taken, there was no stroke.

   However, the general term stroke is cerebral hemorrhage, just like the previous patient with porphyria.

  But there is no cerebral hemorrhage, there is another possibility of cerebral infarction.

  "Is cerebral infarction also a stroke?" the aunt asked.

"Yes, it can be considered one of them. Cerebral hemorrhage is when the blood vessels have burst, and the blood flows out on the brain tissue, oppressing and stimulating the brain tissue, causing cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, causing a series of dysfunctions, and serious Cause death."

  "And cerebral infarction is that the blood vessels in the brain are too narrow and blocked, blood can't flow, oxygen can't pass, and some tissues in the brain will be necrotic due to ischemia and hypoxia, and some dysfunction will occur."

  "But I can’t find it by CT scan now. It may take a day for some necrotic brain tissue to be seen. Otherwise, I will have an MRI tomorrow, which is an MRI, so that I can see it more clearly." Guo Xiang said.

   "Then you are going to be hospitalized?" The aunt glanced at her wife.

   "It is best to be hospitalized, otherwise, if the situation is not good, you can get rescue in time." Guo Xiang said.

   "Let's live." The aunt nodded, and she was also afraid. If she really had a stroke, she would have nothing to do at home. What if something happens if the rescue is not in time?

  The old man was admitted to the hospital, because he had difficulty swallowing, he was given some nutrient solution, otherwise he would be too hungry.

   Then I gave some commonly used drugs for cerebral infarction.

  The next day Guo Xiang went to the ward round, but found that the old man’s condition had become more serious. He couldn’t drink water and even had to open his mouth. He was very weak, and his hands and feet seemed to be weak.

  Hurrying to push the old man to have an MRI, the result of the examination was shocked.

  No, nothing, no cerebral hemorrhage, and no cerebral infarction.

  Blood tests are also normal, and blood lipids are not high.

what 's wrong?

  Guo Xiang called both Xing Ming and Xu Wei for a consultation together.

  Telled the patient’s symptoms. Drinking water is prone to choking, swallowing, and slurred speech. Now it is difficult to even open the mouth. What is the reason?

   "It must be related to nerves, which are all controlled by nerves," Xu Wei said.

   "What virus infects the nerves?" Xing Ming said.

Xing Ming pondered for a while, and said, "Could it be rabies? I have seen rabies attacks in the country before. The symptoms of those patients are a bit like, but they want to drink water. They clearly have chapped lips, but they can't swallow them. , The virus invaded the nerve..."

  Guo Xiang's face became serious. Rabies is a very serious disease. It's okay if it doesn't happen, and almost 100% will die when it happens, and the incubation period of the virus is still very long.

   "I'll go and ask immediately." Guo Xiangteng stood up.

   Go to the ward and pull the aunt out, "Auntie, think about it, has the uncle been bitten by a dog recently, or has he been bitten by a dog before?"

  "Dog?" The lady was surprised, why did she suddenly ask this?

  She thought for a while, “Really, two months ago, it was bitten by a puppy, but at the time it only scratched the skin a little, and there was no blood..."

  "Have you been vaccinated against rabies?" Guo Xiang asked anxiously.

   "Yes, I got three shots." The aunt stretched out her finger and gestured, "Doctor, what's the matter? My wife's illness is related to being bitten by a dog?"

  Guo Xiang frowned, “It’s still unclear, but it’s very likely. If it’s rabies, there is almost no cure, and the attack will happen quickly...” Guo Xiang couldn’t say anything.

"So, what should I do?" The aunt panicked and grabbed Guo Xiang's hand. "No, no, we got the injection. At that time, he said it's okay, isn't it just a puppy? So good, there will be nothing wrong, but I persuaded him to fight..."

  Auntie said that tears were streaming down, her hands trembled.

  "Auntie, Auntie!" Guo Xiang hurriedly grabbed the aunt's hand, "Don't worry, we just doubt it, we can't confirm it yet, let's check again..."

  Xu Wei and Xing Ming also walked over and asked carefully about the situation of the dog bite at the time.

  The aunt said that the dog was raised by others, not a wild dog, and it was small and not fierce at ordinary times. At that time, the old man accidentally kicked it, but it in turn took a bite. The bite was not heavy.

  But nowadays, people have not vaccinated dogs, even if they are domesticated, it is hard to say.

   "How is the dog now?" Guo Xiang asked.

   "Dog? It's fine." The aunt said in a daze.

  "Good?" Guo Xiang frowned. It is impossible. If there is rabies, the dog should die first. It cannot be good.

  Dogs with rabies virus usually die within 3-5 days. Therefore, the observation period after being bitten by a dog is generally 10 days. The dog who bit a person within 10 days did not die and did not become ill, so the bitten person will not get rabies.

  Although it is said that rabies also has an incubation period, the virus in the body of the elderly has occurred, but the dog has not occurred. That is unlikely.

  So the old man does not get rabies?

   "Let's go and see the patient's wound." Xing Ming suggested.

  Everyone went into the ward together and lifted up the old man’s trousers.

   "Where did you bite?"

  "This is the position, you see, you can't see it. At that time, I bit a very small piece and broke a little. It will be fine in a few days." The aunt pointed at his wife's ankle.

  Everyone observed it, and it was true that there were no injuries, not even scars.

  "Uncle, open your mouth and let us have a look." Xu Wei looked at the old man.

  The old man opened his mouth, already a bit unable to open it.

  "Try to be as big as possible." Xu Wei said.

  The old man whimpered. He had tried his best, but he couldn't open it. He was about to cry.

  The saliva couldn't stop flowing downward, and the old man was ashamed and annoyed, with a sad expression on his face.
