Chapter 408 Marneffei fungal disease

Security came very quickly.Wen Xiuchi patted Mother Tian's shoulder who was sobbing softly, then turned and left, walking in front of Tao Le and his party.

She directly found Yu Ruisong who was standing by the side, and said:

"You are neither the patients who came to see the doctor, nor your family members. We are an emergency room here, and unrelated people are not allowed to enter."

She was followed by security guards, and the meaning of chasing passengers was so obvious that everyone could see it.

Yu Ruisong smiled and said, "Little girl, we are here to help save people. Not only do you not thank you, but you also want to drive us away?"

These guys are really dedicated.Good image, good temperament, and high-sounding words-if you don't go crooked, what's wrong with you?
Wen Xiuchi sighed inwardly, and his face remained unmoved: "This is a hospital, and it is our doctor's bounden duty to save lives. Please leave quickly, or I will call the police."

Yu Ruisong was not angry, but laughed instead: "Hahaha, how many years have anyone talked to me like this, I really miss it."

"Old Ancestor, we didn't arrange this matter properly." Wei Geng looked behind with a look of hesitation on his face.

A young man standing at the back immediately jumped out of the crowd, took out a certificate from his pocket, and waved it in front of Wen Xiuchi: "The Bureau of Special Affairs is doing business—don't get in the way, just do what you want."

"Special Affairs Bureau?" Wen Xiuchi was stunned for a moment before he remembered the meaning of this abbreviation.

Special Affairs Administration.When she was appointed as the general duty officer, she had learned the regulations in this area, and knew that citizens of any organization should cooperate with them unconditionally.

But this is no other place than an emergency room full of wounded patients.

She hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "You guys, you can't hurt innocent people, can you?"

The young man laughed, showing his snow-white teeth: "What do you think of us. Don't worry, tonight, we are really bringing an expert to help you heal your illness."

Before Wen Xiuchi could react, her cell phone rang.

The phone number of the emergency department on duty at night is always the busiest.Those who came to her were urgent matters, and they definitely could not be ignored.

She picked it up, and the other party's tone was urgent and fast, and it was transmitted to Tao Le and his party's ears through the microphone.

"Mr. Wen, I'm Jiang Qun from the Laboratory Department. There is a young man named Sun Guangyi, is he in the emergency department now?"

"He's here, what's the matter?" Wen Xiuchi glanced at the young man who was still in high fever, and his heart ached.

If the doctor from the labor inspection department can call in person, or use such an urgent tone, things will definitely not be simple.

"This patient's platelet count was too low for a machine to be accurate—so I did a manual triage."

"Unexpectedly, there are a lot of fungi inside and outside his neutrophils!" Jiang Qun's voice was very anxious.

This situation is indeed very rare.

Among the white blood cells in the blood, neutrophils are the most numerous and are the natural enemies of bacteria and fungi.When they encounter bacteria or fungi, they produce tentacles that attach to the invaders and die with them.

Only when the human body is immune deficient or immune function is suppressed, the fungus can proliferate inside and outside the neutrophils without fear.

"So what is your conclusion?" Wen Xiuchi's bad premonition became more and more serious.

"Although no fungal culture has been done, I highly suspect it is Penicillium marneffei!"

Penicillium marneffei!Wenxiuchi's mind "hummed" for a moment.

This is an extremely rare opportunistic infection fungus that causes Marneffei's fungus (PSM) - a serious deep-seated fungal disease, although ordinary people may also be infected, but mainly Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ( AIDS) one of the comorbidities.

It spreads throughout the body, invading liver, lung, intestinal lymphatic tissue, spleen, bone marrow, kidney, tonsil and other tissues, causing multi-system infection with a high fatality rate.

Realizing this, Wen Xiuchi immediately hung up the phone, urgently dispatched symptomatic antifungal drugs, poured out of the bed in the emergency room, and then rushed to communicate with family members.

But the patient's bed was already full of people.The young man from the Special Affairs Bureau stopped her politely.

"This patient is in a critical condition and must be sent to the emergency room immediately for antibacterial treatment!" She said bluntly.

Sun Guangyi's parents had vaguely felt that something was wrong when a group of people surrounded them just now.

Now when I heard Wen Xiuchi's words, I was shocked in my heart, and rushed over immediately:

"Doctor, we didn't have the blood test results just now, and we wanted to wait a little longer. Why is this critical?"

"The laboratory suspects that it is an extremely rare fungal infection with a very high fatality rate. It must be immediately admitted to the emergency room for symptomatic treatment." Wen Xiuchi repeated it, and then said to the young man:
"Human life is at stake, you can't interfere with the treatment at this time, right?"

Who would have thought that the young man would be reckless.

"This Doctor Wen." He looked at Wen Xiuchi's badge and said, "If you enter the emergency room as you said and have some antibacterial treatment, will this patient be able to be saved?"

"This." Wen Xiuchi was speechless.

The disease occurs more often in HIV-positive patients and can progress very rapidly.

Fungal sepsis, multi-system infection, and multi-organ failure will follow, and the prognosis is extremely poor.

She still remembers the last Marneffei patient in the emergency department who died within 24 hours.

So in any case, she couldn't give any guarantees.

This kind of absent-mindedness and silence made the hearts of the grandparents sink straight - the latter's eye circles instantly turned red.

"Doctor, we agree to do all rescues, as long as we can save the child." Grandfather quickly said: "But doctor, you also tell us the truth, what is the hope?"

Not even [-]%.Wen Xiuchi avoided the other party's question, and said, "It's been rescued, and there is still a chance of life, otherwise it will definitely die."

Saying this sentence, the grandparents felt bitter from their mouths to their hearts, as if they had been forced to stuff Coptis chinensis.

"Guangyi." Sun's mother couldn't help crying.

"Since the hope is so slim, why are you so fussy?" The young man who stopped Wen Xiuchi not only did not empathize with the family members, but was rather relaxed.

Wen Xiuchi gave him a hard look and said, "Get out of the way, we're going to send him to the emergency room."

Several nurses gathered around, and grandpa frowned: "Who are you, please step aside, don't delay the child's first aid."

"Hey, don't worry." The young man said with a smile, "We came here because you can't cure this disease."
