Most patients with allergic rhinitis have a habit.

"Cold water to wash the nasal cavity".

This action will relieve nasal congestion and other conditions a lot.

Xu Qiu didn't expect this before.

Because allergies are indeed not as good as Luo Di's disease.

The key is to wash your nose!

Rinse the nasal cavity, which was originally a habit for allergic rhinitis patients to relieve symptoms, but it is associated with another rare disease.

Xu Qiu immediately opened the browsing history and searched for the documents he had read.

A few dozen seconds later, he opened one of the web pages.

"Research on the transmission characteristics and prevention and control of Protozoa Fu's Negris"

This is a paper by a professor from the School of Public Health of Fudan University.

The Negris Furious Protozoa in the content has another more thrilling, popular name:

Brain-eating amoeba!

This is an extremely rare disease.

At present, there are only more than 100 patients found worldwide, and only four of them survived.

The reason why it eats brain is that after the Negris Furetaria enters the human brain, it will reproduce rapidly and spread along the meninges to the center of the brain, causing suppurative meningitis, vascular hemorrhage and brain parenchymal necrosis.

and.

Because the Negris Forrest Furgatons feed on other bacteria and microorganisms in nature, a large number of bacteria often parasitize in their bodies.

Therefore, after the patient is infected with Negrifolia, it is often not a single brain-eating worm that erodes the brain. Different bacteria reproduce at the same time, which jointly damages the brain.

As for why Xu Qiu linked brain-eating amoeba with nose washing.

It has been discovered that there is only one way for brain-eating amoeba to enter the brain - invade from the nasal mucosa and then enter the brain along the olfactory nerves!

It doesn’t work if you don’t eat or drink. It only has a chance to lock the brain from the nose.

And once it succeeds, the condition will be extremely fierce.

This is also the reason for the extremely high mortality rate.

If Luo Di is really infected with a brain-eating amoeba, he has already begun to struggle on the line of life and death countless times.

...

At this moment, Xu Qiu felt like the darkness of willows and flowers were bright.

Although no examination results have been obtained, there is undoubtedly a brain-eating amoeba that can explain all the manifestations of Rodi.

High fever.

This is an inflammatory response caused by bacterial reproduction and parasites reproduction and infection.

Anomalous hyperactivity is likely to be a disorder in the cerebral cortex information.

The severe pain that cannot be relieved is related to the pathogenicity and explosiveness of the brain-eating amoeba itself.

It relies on the phagocytosis of the food cup on the body surface and the lytic molecules in the cells to destroy the host brain neurons.

In addition, it will exert toxic effects through the secreted proteins.

When these things accumulate to a certain level, they are released and exploded in the patient's brain in an instant, and the strong central nervous system symptoms and severe pain caused by them are by no means counteracted by simple analgesic drugs.

Xu Qiu immediately called the laboratory department.

Dr. Gu on the opposite side was a little surprised and said, "Is it the patient Luo Di? Doctor Xu, I just got the result and I was about to call you. This patient should have suppurative meningitis!"

As expected...

Purulent meningitis is one of the stages of brain-eating amoeba.

If the doctor does not have the concept of brain-eating amoeba, he may use suppurative meningitis as the final diagnosis.

And this will ruin the patient's life.

"Doctor Gu, please let the other side take a resample and focus on the parasites!" Xu Qiu ordered.

"Is the brain parasite infection? This is rare... OK, my colleagues and I will check it out in a targeted manner and I will return it to you later!"

Dr. Gu was moving very quickly.

After about half an hour, she called back, with a surprised tone: "We took three sections of cerebrospinal fluid and found some parasites in the last tube! After testing, it was confirmed that the Negri Amoeba worm of Fu's!"

The sound of swallowing came from the phone.

This is the first time Dr. Gu has seen this thing.

Even the director of the laboratory department has never encountered a single case in his more than 30 years of medical career.

Brain-eating amoeba is too unfamiliar to laboratory doctors.

In other words, all Negris protozoa cannot appear in the laboratory samples.

Because it's fragile.

Digestion fluid in the digestive tract, antibodies secreted by the mucosa, and even lysozyme in saliva can crush the Negri protozoa in minutes without leaving any vitality.

However, the Negris Fortune can stand out from it and become the only one that threatens humans and is even named as the "brain-eating amoeba", all because of one characteristic.

It is highly sensitive to acetylcholine!

This is a neurotransmitter in mammals, but it is a substance that makes brain-eating amoeba crazy.

After the brain-eating amoeba comes to the nasal cavity, it is attracted by acetylcholine rich in olfactory epithelial cells and drills into the depths of the mucosa.

Then, olfactory visual receptor cells with higher acetylcholine content were encountered.

Finally, we went up one after another and came to the paradise full of acetylcholine-the brain.

This is also why it is called a brain-eating amoeba. When it comes to the brain, it will completely release itself and reproduce wildly. When white blood cells come, they will instantly disappear.

"Brain-eating amoeba..." Xu Qiu nodded, and the test results completely confirmed his conjecture.

Dr. Gu was shocked, "Doctor Xu, do you know?"

This is a very rare disease with only more than 100 cases worldwide, and only recorded in special parasite textbooks.

How could a clinician understand such a biased thing?

"Wait, Dr. Xu, you asked me to check for parasites before... You might have diagnosed them long ago!"

At this moment, Dr. Gu was even more unable to understand.

I can only say that I am Dr. Xu!

...

After the result came out, Xu Qiu did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately issued a new medical order.

1: Insect killing.

2: Prevent brain hernia.

The former is root cure.

The latter, brain-eating amoeba proliferates and infections, which will cause sudden increase in the intracranial pressure, causing brain tissue to be squeezed elsewhere, which is brain hernia.

Once the brain tissue enters the occipital magnum and presses the brain stem, the patient's life-related respiratory center will be instantly destroyed, resulting in death.

To protect Luo Di's life, preventing brain hernia is even more important.

At this time, after learning of the final diagnosis, Wang Ping and He Hai both found the office.

They also had surprise on their faces.

Brain-eating amoeba...every case is found, it can attract a lot of attention from the society.

It's really the name is too terrifying.

However, no similar cases have ever occurred in Wang Ping, He Hai, or the entire Linhai First Hospital. Luo Di is a patient with brain-eating amoeba in Linhai First Hospital...

"Is this the reward for loyal patients in Linhai First Hospital?"

He Hai looked at Luo Di's medical records and this thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Wang Ping's brows have not been unbuttoned until now. He sighed: "Academics can only describe brain-eating amoeba in four words, and they are helpless... Is there a treatment for this disease?"

The two raised their heads and their eyes fell on Xu Qiu at the same time.

Judging from the doctor's order issued by the other party, it was aimed at killing insects.

But...how to kill?

For other types of amoeba insects infected by the intestine and liver, there are special anti-amoeba drugs in clinical practice.

However, they are all ineffective against brain-eating amoeba!
