A Will Eternal Chapter 342

This kind of small insect is a tick. After a tick bites the human body, it will cause a debilitating infection in the human body. The incubation period from infection to symptoms is generally two weeks, and some incubation periods may be longer, months or years. There are.

Symptoms of Lyme disease include headaches, joint pain, severe fatigue, heart palpitations, body stiffness, and more.

The disease was first discovered in a foreign country called Lyme Town, hence the name Lyme disease.

The main clinical manifestation of this disease is damage to the nervous system. Meningitis, encephalitis, intracranial neuritis, motor and sensory neuritis are the most common forms of damage to the nervous system. Summer and early autumn are the most common periods.

Generally, the group of people who get the disease is fixed. Like some occupational diseases, it mostly occurs in field workers, forestry workers and so on.

If you don't come into contact with the jungle and suburbs where ticks grow, it is basically impossible to get Lyme disease.

Qin Feng also felt lucky for the patient. Who would have thought that his disease was actually contracted a month ago. This kind of incubation period is hard to guard against.

Lyme disease generally has three stages.

The first stage of Lyme disease is mainly manifested as chronic migratory erythema of the skin, often accompanied by fatigue, chills, fever, headache, nausea and other symptoms, and may also cause meningeal irritation.

The second stage of Lyme disease begins weeks or months after onset, and 15% of patients have significant neurological symptoms and cardiac involvement.

In the third stage, there will be different degrees of joint pain. Judging from the patient's situation, it should be between the first stage and the second stage. Because of the incubation period, the patient also has the symptoms of the third stage.

Qin Feng looked at the patient's blood picture and found that the patient's peripheral blood picture was normal and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was slightly increased, but the cryoprecipitated immunoglobulin in the serum was positive and the transaminase was elevated.

This is also a major feature of Lyme disease. Qin Feng asked Zhang Yao to send the patient's cerebrospinal fluid and lesioned skin samples for testing, and found spirochetes in it.

Because Lyme disease is caused by a spirochete infection mediated by ticks.

After the diagnosis, Qin Feng and the hospital were always relieved.

Because Lyme disease also belongs to the scope of skin diseases, it is very difficult to treat like nougat, but it cannot be cured by surgery, and can only be controlled with a little medicine.

"Did you call the dermatology doctor? Leave this patient to them." Qin Feng said.

What Qin Feng was worried about before was not skin diseases. After all, the patient’s symptoms were too serious. Whether it was body stiffness or breathing difficulties, they were all fatal at any time. Qin Feng was afraid of missing the best time for treatment, so he didn’t call for it before. Dermatology doctor.

Fortunately, the patient's condition is not as serious as Qin Feng thought. Although Lyme disease is difficult, it can be cured, but it will take a little longer and it will not be life-threatening.

"By the way, in addition to antibiotic treatment, remember to ask them to add a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and even a little glucocorticoid." Qin Feng reminded.

When Qin Feng returned to the outpatient clinic, a little yellow man came to the outpatient clinic.

That's right, a little yellow man.

As long as the exposed skin of the whole body is yellow, Qin Feng is a little surprised.

Jaundice is a sign of severe liver disease.

Because the skin is too yellow, it can basically be determined to be jaundice, so as to judge that there is a problem with the liver.

Liver disease can cause an increase in the bilirubin value, and jaundice is the concentration of bilirubin in the serum, so as long as there is an increase in bilirubin, jaundice will appear.

Generally speaking, when infants and young children are born, they will have jaundice, but the depth is different.

"Name, ID number..."

The patient reported his name and ID number, and Qin Feng entered the intranet and entered the patient's information.

It's just that the patient's medical history was not found in the case database in the hospital system, so Qin Feng asked Zhang Yao to create a new case file for the patient.

Now with the development of science and technology, in addition to paper medical records, there is also online archiving. This is also to prevent patients from making mistakes when dictating without bringing their medical records.

Qin Feng checked the patient, and finally found that the patient's eyeballs were all yellow, which was a bit too serious.

"Do you have any symptoms of fatigue or poor appetite?" Qin Feng asked while checking.

"Yes, I feel tired during this time, and I don't have a good appetite, and I feel like vomiting after two bites after eating." The patient said.

Loss of appetite, fatigue.

After confirming these two points, Qin Feng continued to ask: "Have you eaten anything else?"

"No more." The patient shook his head.

"Why not, aren't those medicine powders you ate at home?" The patient's wife patted the patient and shouted angrily.

"Powder?" Qin Feng stared at the patient.

"It's just that I'm a programmer, and my hair loss has been serious recently, so I thought about buying some hair-growing medicinal powder and drinking it." The patient lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

Baldness is still very serious for a middle-aged person, after all, who doesn't want to have flowing black hair.

"What powder?"

"He Shou Wu powder, but I think it has nothing to do with the powder, but with my own body." The patient explained.

Eating Polygonum multiflorum, in fact, patients also have their own considerations, that is, it can strengthen yang, and listen to what my friends said.

When a person reaches middle age, it is not just a joke that wolfberry is always with him.

If you feel a little bit wrong with your body, your friends will think that you have kidney deficiency, and they will recommend drugs for strengthening yang.

After all, programmers are generally highly educated, and he would not take those medicines, but instead focused on traditional Chinese medicine.

At the beginning, I ate it twice a day, and my body really improved a lot.

But after two months, a problem appeared. The patient himself began to lose his appetite, and his whole body became sluggish, and sometimes he was in a daze.

Before, the patient thought that the dose of the drug was not enough, and increased the dose without authorization, turning himself into a minion.

Qin Feng shook his head and smiled: "You are so lucky, you have to know that the medicine is three-point poisonous. Although Polygonum multiflorum is good, you can't take it every day!"

"By the way, is the Polygonum multiflorum given by the pharmacy raw or manufactured?"

Raw Polygonum multiflorum belongs to the original ecology, and the medicinal effect is stronger, and the damage to the liver is also greater.

If it is manufactured, the medicinal effect will be milder, but it will be adulterated.

"I don't know, I asked my friend to buy it for me." The patient shook his head.

"Then call and ask now."

The patient nodded and called in front of Qin Feng.

After 2 minutes, the patient said: "My friend said it was raw, and he was afraid that there might be fakes."

Qin Feng nodded.

"If it is raw, then find the reason. Although Polygonum multiflorum can nourish the liver and kidney, if the dosage is not appropriate, it will damage the liver and kidney, and what you take is still raw, and with long-term intake, your liver has been damaged. Those injured by drugs are more serious."
