Chapter 865 Prehistoric Viruses
While eating, Chen Qun found out what happened from the well-informed Zhao Xue. It was a few patients sent over from the Antarctic scientific research ship. There were five people in total, a young couple and three middle-aged people. , all scientists and engineers.After a glacier sampling in Antarctica, they all showed the same symptoms. They were first sent to the Cape of Good Hope Hospital in South Africa. After the test failed, they were chartered back to China. Xiangyun Hospital was recently arranged to become a designated hospital by the higher authorities.
At the same time, a joint expert team from the capital and Lujiang also flew over to conduct a joint consultation.Liu Yang led the various departments of the hospital to meet the patients.Although the condition of the five patients has not yet shown fatal symptoms, they have been deteriorating, and they may die of critical illness after a few days of delay.
Miss Dongfang swallowed her food while speaking inarticulately.
"Is this a viral infection? Don't forget that there are many kinds of infectious diseases in Africa."
Chen Qun knocked her on the head and pointed to the information that Zhao Xue sent over.
"You just don't use your brain. If the virus is infected, the entire scientific research station will be recruited. They didn't show symptoms until three or four days after they came back, but none of the other researchers who came into contact with them showed similar symptoms. , the possibility of viral infection can be almost ruled out."
Miss Dongfang immediately raised an objection.
"That's not necessarily true. Who knows how many ancient viruses and prehistoric viruses are buried in the Antarctic glaciers? If it is infected by a prehistoric biological virus and it is not transmitted between people, you will not be able to detect it."
Miss Dongfang put the mobile phone in front of Chen Qun, pulled it lightly, and the small and exquisite mobile phone was immediately separated from the inside and turned into two pieces, and when it was closed lightly, it immediately became a small tablet computer. in front of the group.
"Wow, you changed your phone again? Isn't this kind of foldable phone outdated, why is it becoming fashionable again?"
Chen Qun's focus was obviously not on the Missy's channel, but it made the Missy happy for a while. Knowing that Chen Qun did this on purpose, so as not to be scolded by her, and to please her a little, it shows that her boyfriend is serious in all aspects. He was so considerate to her.
"Professional, Dr. Chen. You look after yourself, the above test results are dozens of. Negative for brain-eating amoeba infection, negative for botulism, negative for naguisiasis, negative for common arboviruses, negative for rabies, almost All the tests that can be done have been done. So I think it is some kind of ancient pathogen that has resurrected, we have never recorded it, and there is no information, let alone how to treat it.”
This girl just likes to hunt for novelties, Chen Qun deliberately teased her to see how many diseases she knew.
"Perhaps it's just vasculitis?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest lady tapped on the screen and smiled at Chen Qunying.
"Doctor Yun, tell this brother the test results."
An electronic tone answered immediately.
"The patient's kidneys are normal, and vasculitis is excluded!"
"poisoned by carbon monoxide?"
"Several patients had seizures that were unexplained by carbon monoxide poisoning."
As soon as these words were uttered, Chen Qun immediately aroused a little vigilance. Is this... a sign that the telephone has become a master or the artificial intelligence has formed?What kind of computer program can even give the most appropriate explanation for each illness?
Chen Qun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately made another assumption.
"What about nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis?"
"There are no vegetations in the blood vessels on the CT scan. This explanation is incorrect."
"What about the bully syndrome?"
The electronic voice paused for a moment, and immediately changed to Qi Hong's voice.
"Chen Qun, I know you very well. If you want to slander me, I will also sue you for slandering me for suffering from a non-existent disease and demand compensation for mental damage!"
The eldest lady also pinched Chen Qun hard, and threatened her viciously.
"You bastard, when did you realize something was wrong? How did you know it was Qi Hong? Could it be Little Apple?"
Chen Qun switched off his girlfriend's cool and beautiful new mobile phone, then scratched her nose lightly, and explained with a smile.
"No matter how smart your computer program is, it is impossible for you to retrieve my keywords and then give tit-for-tat answers. I think it is impossible for the first answer, and I am absolutely sure that there is a real person behind the computer showing up for the second answer. Program, the last thing I want to say is that Qi Hong’s personal style of talking back is very obvious. She and I argued a lot, so I can naturally guess that she is pretending to be a computer."
Miss Dongfang stared at Chen Qun and started to question him.
"What is Qi Hong's style?"
Chen Qun replied in a low voice with some guilt.
"She is a person who doesn't talk too much, and she can sum up all the answers with a few key words. No matter how smart a computer is, it is not so smart. It is impossible to answer everything with one statement."
When Chen Qun said this, something suddenly sounded, and he turned on the young lady's cell phone again, and was about to search for information, but found that the cell phone was locked.Chen Qun was not polite at all, and directly brought the mobile phone close to the beautiful eyes of the eldest lady, glanced at it, and opened the electronic lock of the mobile phone.
The eldest lady looked at Chen Qun in astonishment, "How do you know that there is a retinal scan installed on my phone?"
"Guess. Maybe my simple answer may be more likely to meet the conditions of several patients. You can search for mercury poisoning to see if it is exactly the same as their condition?"
As Chen Qun said, he searched for mercury poisoning on his mobile phone bluntly, put the results in front of the eldest lady, and explained.
"Perhaps all doctors are overcomplicating things, but I have read a report. There are about fifty swimming pools of pure mercury in the permafrost at the North and South Poles. When the surface ice melts, the mercury is exposed , into the ecosystem. These scientists were sampling there and were exposed to this harmful mercury, causing all the symptoms."
Having said that, Chen Qun showed serious eyes and paused for a moment.
"I hope your statement is alarmist, but if it is me, I think so too. Maybe what we have encountered now is a kind of prehistoric substance, and if it is to be detected, it will not be enough for a week or two. So, wait After I see the patient, I will propose a risky plan and start with the treatment for mercury poisoning."
Miss Dongfang looked up at Chen Qun and asked a simple question.
"Could it be that the presence of mercury cannot be detected in toxicological testing?"
Chen Qun rubbed his forehead in distress and gave an explanation.
"This is about two aspects. The first is trace mercury poisoning. The confirmatory test takes one or two weeks, but patients cannot wait that long. The second is the amount. The amount is small enough to cause the disease. But if it cannot be detected, it will be ignored. The reason is just like our current detection of pregnancy and blood type, which is a circumstantial evidence method, which will lead to some inaccuracies.”
Of course, Chen Qun didn't say one more thing, even if the system is broken in this incident, nothing will be gained!Because a broken system won't cure a disease it doesn't know about.
