Master Doctor in the City

Zhang Jinsong did not greet the officials of the Hong Kong Department of Health in advance, so when he announced the incident at the press conference, everyone except Zhang Jinsong and the volunteer members of western medicine from Shanghai were surprised.

Especially the discovery that the pathogen of this infectious disease was actually discovered by Ye Chen, which undoubtedly shocked the reporters and those present.

When the reporters came to interview Zhang Jinsong, when Zhang Jinsong stated his success this week, he didn't care whether Zhang Jinsong's findings were right or not, but as long as he said it out, other related staff members could also find out soon.

"Professor Zhang, what kind of pathogen is this?" a Hong Kong female reporter asked.

"This kind of infectious disease is called epidemic typhus, also known as lice-borne typhus. Rickettsia platensis is the pathogen of epidemic typhus and typhus."

"When a person is infected, after an incubation period of 10 to 14 days, the clinical features are sudden onset, severe headache, general body pain, and high fever. After 4 to 7 days, a rash appears, and the severe one is bloody. Some are also accompanied by the nervous system. , Cardiovascular system and other symptoms and other substantial organ damage."

"This disease is more serious in densely populated and insect-prosperous environments. When it is epidemic, the average death rate of patients is 20%, and it can reach 70% when it is severe."

When Zhang Jinsong gave a detailed introduction, other reporters hurriedly collected content about epidemic typhus on the Internet after hearing this.

Soon, those reporters knew about the disease.

However, this disease has basically not reappeared in China, including the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the incidence of this disease was high and it was often prevalent. However, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was basically controlled, and this infectious disease rarely appeared again.

Now, this time in Hong Kong, there is a sudden outbreak. It is very likely that, as Zhang Jinsong guessed, it should be brought by people from other countries when they came to Hong Kong to work or travel, and then infect other Hong Kong citizens.

"Professor Zhang, if this infectious disease is really the epidemic typhus that you are talking about, why is the incubation period of this infectious disease shorter and the morbidity and mortality rates very high?" another Hong Kong reporter asked.

"Regarding this situation, I have discovered that this type of epidemic typhus is a little different from the original one. There have been mutations or variants and will become more complicated. However, its mode of transmission has not changed, and it is still borrowed from the pathogen. Lice spread among people." Zhang Jinsong said.

When Zhang Jinsong said it in detail, other reporters compared the symptoms of people infected with this infectious disease. They were indeed very similar to the epidemic typhus mentioned by Zhang Jinsong.

It's just that the others are different.

If that is the case, then other experts will research methods to find more effective drugs.

Of course, this disease was very popular in China decades ago, but it still appears from time to time in other countries such as Africa. There are also many more effective drugs over there. Maybe you can use it to see how effective it is?

However, today's press conference not only stabilized the hearts of Hong Kong citizens and no longer had to panic like before, but also because of Zhang Jinsong's discovery, which made everyone more at ease.

Of course, because of Ye Chen's treatment, which reduced the death rate of infected people, and his earliest discovery of this infectious disease, the reporters all remembered such a key person.

Of course, when this conference is over, Ye Chen will undoubtedly be even more famous in Hong Kong when it is broadcast on Hong Kong's major news media.

Ye Chen didn't know the situation of the Hong Kong Department of Health's presentation. He just took care of Xu Jiaojiao in the tent.

After his treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Jiaojiao's pain has alleviated a lot in less than two days. Every time Xu Jiaojiao wakes up, she feels relieved when she sees Ye Chen sitting next to her and holding her hand.

When Ye Chen saw that it was time for lunch, he was going to have lunch first, and then looked at the situation of the infected people drinking medicine in the isolation area of ​​Saigon Hospital, and saw that Ye Anran came to him in a hurry.

"Uncle Ye, don't you know what to do with me?" Ye Chen asked.

"Doctor Ye, it turns out you found out what is wrong with this infectious disease?" Ye Anran came in and asked.

If it hadn't been for the news of the press conference, Ye Anran and the others would still be unclear about the matter.

"I guessed it when I came here the first day, but it has not been verified. I only dialectically treated the infected person’s symptoms, lack of pulse and tongue. However, later, I discovered that these infected people drink After taking the medicine, the effect is obvious, indicating that there is no mistake with my guess." Ye Chen said.

At first, he had guessed. However, he could not confirm that this is epidemic typhus. After all, this kind of infectious disease rarely occurs in the mainland, let alone Hong Kong.

Therefore, he just dialed in the symptoms of the infected person, and then prescribed the right medicine.

Ye Anran heard what Ye Chen said and understood what Ye Chen said. He admired Ye Chen more and more.

After Ye Anran left, Ye Chen looked at Xu Jiaojiao who was still asleep. He first brought Xu Jiaojiao a decoction soup, and saw Han Xiaoxiao waiting for him in the tent.

"You didn't have lunch, I'll feed Miss Xu the medicinal soup for you." Han said with a smile.

"Smile, then trouble you." Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen came out of the inside, went to disinfect first, changed the white lab coat, ate a simple lunch, then returned to the accommodation, took a comfortable bath, changed a set of dry clothes, and then washed the clothes. After drying up, Ye Chen returned to Xu Jiaojiao's tent.

Back in the tent, I saw that Jiaojiao had finished drinking the medicinal soup, but she looked tired. Although she was not very sleepy, the effect of drinking the medicine and the emotions that occurred when she was sick made her feel tired after drinking the medicine. How long I talked, I could only fall asleep again.

Now Xu Jiaojiao did not eat food, and could only maintain her body energy by hanging glucose liquid. When she saw that the hanging bottle was almost finished hanging, Han Xiaoxiao went to find a female nurse to come over to Xu Jiaojiao and put another bottle for Xu Jiaojiao.

After the female nurse replaced Xu Jiaojiao with another bottle, Ye Chen sat there for a while before going to visit other infected people.

Of course, in addition to visiting the infected people here, he also has to go to the isolation area of ​​the Tuen Mun District General Hospital to see the effects of the infected people over drinking the medicine.

However, because he was worried about Xu Jiaojiao, he didn't go to Tuen Mun.

Ye Chen saw more than one hundred infected people, and when the effect of drinking the medicine became more and more obvious, he knew that the prescription he prescribed was obviously effective.

In particular, the old man he had just started treatment is recovering faster now. Ye Chen knows that he can get a new prescription for him and drink the medicine at that time. It shouldn't take a week for him to recover completely.
