Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s
Chapter 863 Is It Rabies?
Then, can you confirm that you have a stroke? the old man asked, speaking a little awkwardly.
This is one of the methods, you open your mouth to see me first. Guo Xiang said.
The old man opened his mouth, and sure enough, the tongue couldn't be centered, and it turned to one side.
Possibility of stroke.
Master, do you usually have high blood pressure? Guo Xiang asked while writing his medical records.
It's a little high, and I've been taking medicine. The aunt helped him.
Guo Xiang nodded, no wonder the blood pressure was not particularly high just now.
Now I suspect a stroke, but it may not be serious. You see that the tongue is a little skewed and swallowing is a little difficult, but there are no symptoms of crooked eyes and facial paralysis. Uncle, do you have weakness in your limbs? Guo Xiang asked again.
It seems, okay... The uncle shook his head.
Guo Xiang nodded, he walked in just now, and his wife didn't help him, and he didn't seem to have his hands and feet turned to one side when he left.
I still need to take a CT image to confirm the brain. Guo Xiang said.
Then let's do it. The aunt nodded, and she had to know if it was like this, good treatment.
Guo Xiang placed an order and asked the old man to have a CT scan. When the results came out, he did not have a stroke.
But the general stroke is a cerebral hemorrhage, just like the previous porphyria patient.
But there is no cerebral hemorrhage, and another possibility is cerebral infarction.
Is a cerebral infarction also a stroke? the aunt asked.
Yes, it is also one of them. Intracerebral hemorrhage is a blood vessel that has burst, and blood flows out on the brain tissue, which compresses and stimulates the brain tissue, causing ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, resulting in a series of functional disorders. In severe cases, it may be lead to death.
The cerebral infarction is that the blood vessels in the brain are too narrow and blocked, the blood cannot flow, and the oxygen can't get through, and some tissues in the brain will necrosis due to ischemia and hypoxia, and some functional disorders will occur.
However, the CT scan can't find it now. It may take a day for some necrotic brain tissue to be seen. Otherwise, I will do an MRI tomorrow, which is an MRI, so that it will be seen more clearly.
Guo Xiang said.
Is that going to be hospitalized? The aunt glanced at her wife.
It's better to be hospitalized, otherwise if the situation is not good, you can be rescued in time. Guo Xiang said.
Then just stay. The aunt nodded, she was also afraid, if she really had a stroke, she would definitely not be able to do it at home, what if something happened if the rescue wasn't done in time?
The old man was admitted to the hospital. Because of difficulty in swallowing, he was given some nutrient solution, otherwise he would be too hungry.
And then gave some commonly used drugs for cerebral infarction.
The next day, Guo Xiang went to the ward, but found that the old man's condition was even more serious. He couldn't drink water, and he struggled to open his mouth. He was very weak, and his hands and feet seemed to have no strength.
He hurriedly pushed the old man to have an MRI, and when the result was checked, he was shocked.
No, nothing, no cerebral hemorrhage, no cerebral infarction.
Blood tests were all normal, and blood lipids were not high.
what 's wrong?
Guo Xiang called Xing Ming and Xu Wei together again for consultation.
I talked about the patient's symptoms. Drinking water is easy to cough, 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.
Is it infected with a virus? Xing Ming said.
Xing Ming pondered for a while, and said, Could it be rabies? I have seen rabies attacks in the countryside before. Those patients had similar symptoms and wanted to drink water. Even though their lips were chapped, they couldn't swallow them. It's the virus that invades the nerves...
Guo Xiang's face suddenly became serious. Rabies is a very serious disease. It's good if you don't get sick. When you get sick, you will die almost 100%, and the incubation period of this virus is still very long.
I'll go ask right away. Guo Xiang stood up abruptly.
When I got to the ward, I pulled my aunt out, Aunt, think about it, has the uncle been bitten by a dog recently, or has he been bitten by a dog before?
Dog? The aunt was surprised, why did she ask this suddenly?
She thought for a while, Really, two months ago, it was bitten by a puppy, but at that time only a little bit of skin was scratched, and there was no blood...
Did you get rabies vaccine then? Guo Xiang asked anxiously.
Yes, and three more 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 not certain yet, but it's very likely. If it's rabies, there's almost no cure, and the onset is very fast... Guo Xiang couldn't go on.
Then, what should I do? The aunt panicked and grabbed Guo Xiang's hand, No, no, we got an injection. At that time, he said it's okay, isn't it just a puppy? So good, there will definitely be nothing wrong, I still persuade him to fight...
When the aunt said that, tears flowed down her cheeks, her hands trembled.
Aunt, Aunt! Guo Xiang hurriedly grabbed the aunt's hand, Don't worry, we just suspect, we can't confirm it yet, let's check...
Xu Wei and Xing Ming also came over and asked carefully about the situation when they were bitten by the dog.
The aunt said that the dog was raised by someone else, not a wild dog, and it was still small and usually not fierce. At that time, the old man accidentally kicked it, and it took a bite in turn, and the bite was not heavy.
However, people have not yet vaccinated dogs, even if they are domesticated.
How is the dog now? Guo Xiang asked.
Dog? It's fine. The aunt said stunned.
Okay? Guo Xiang frowned, that's impossible, if there is rabies, the dog should die first, it can't be fine.
Dogs with rabies usually die within 3-5 days. Therefore, the observation period after being bitten by a dog is generally 10 days. The dog that bites a person within 10 days does not die or become sick, so the bitten person will not get rabies.
Although it is said that rabies also has an incubation period, it is unlikely that the virus in the body of the elderly has attacked, but the dog has not.
So the old man didn't have rabies?
Let's go and see the patient's wound. Xing Ming suggested.
Everyone entered the ward together and picked up the old man's trousers.
Where's the bite?
It's this position. You can't see it anymore. It was just a small bite, and it broke a little bit. It will be fine in a few days. The aunt pointed to her wife's ankle.
Everyone observed it, and it was true that there was no injury, not even a scar.
Master, open your mouth and let us see. Xu Wei looked at the old man.
The old man opened his mouth, but he couldn't 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 down again, the old man was ashamed and annoyed, and his face was sad.
