Chapter 227 Vaccinia Inoculation
Chapter 227 Cowpox Vaccination
This time we entered the outermost tent.
The patients here are basically mild patients.
But it was not the right time to come here. Prince Chen seemed to have gone to other tents to treat patients.
Now that he is infected and staying in this isolation area, he will naturally not be able to rest.
Especially when manpower is so tight.
I found someone to call.
Lu Yunluo left the tent and waited outside.
Soon, a thin white figure was seen in the distance.
Although Prince Chen has lost a lot of weight, his handsome appearance and elegant figure are still not affected.
He seems to be able to maintain a gentle and decent appearance no matter what the situation.
Lu Yunluo didn't wait for Prince Chen to salute and immediately grabbed his pulse.
Prince Chen subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but stopped after seeing the gloves on Lu Yunluo's hands.
After a long time.
Only then did Lu Yunluo let go, "Yes, you will be cured of your illness in two days."
He took a look at a small pustule on the back of his hand. It must have been inoculated from this wound. Uncle Sanhuang's experiment seemed quite successful.
"Does it hurt when you cut the wound? Did you take the patient's thick slurry or the scab powder?" Lu Yunluo's question caught Prince Chen off guard.
He didn't expect that her active infection would be revealed at a glance.
I even guessed the method.
Then he smiled helplessly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
Also, her medical skills have always been better than his.
Even if he could think of a method, she would naturally think of it too.
Lu Yunluo nodded proudly.
Don't even look at who she is.
She is the most talented disciple of the ancient medical school in the 21st century.
If it weren't for an accident, he would have been the youngest sect leader long ago.
She has incredible medical skills, but if she can't even see this, then her years in the twenty-first century will have been in vain.
"I used the patient's thick slurry, which was diluted and then applied to the wound. However, it is not yet sure whether it is safe." Prince Chen pondered for a while and said.
Although his reaction was relatively mild.
But after all, he was the only one to try it out.
It cannot represent everything.
After all, everyone's body functions are different.
Lu Yunluo nodded.
It is remarkable that Prince Chen was able to figure out variola vaccination without any information.
Variola vaccination is equivalent to the ancient vaccine. It is to take the patient's pus and apply it to the wound of a healthy person. The wound will leave a small pustule on the arm. After it falls off, the patient will be immune to smallpox.
There are many ways to vaccinate against variola.
For example, the nasal spray method.
The patient's scab is ground into powder and inhaled into the nasal cavity for vaccination.
However, these vaccinations still carry certain risks.
Although the infection mortality rate has been reduced a lot after vaccination, it can still reach about 2%.
However, compared with the 30% mortality rate before vaccination, it has been greatly reduced.
Although she admits that Prince Chen is excellent.
But his method of self-examination is really unacceptable.
"From now on, you must never take risks with your body again, you know?"
Lu Yunluo said seriously.
The method used by Prince Chen is too dangerous.
If it is possible within the 2%, then just hang up.
Prince Chen just smiled and said nothing.
But I really liked the concern in her eyes.
When Lu Yunluo saw that Prince Chen was not responding, she knew without even thinking that the Third Emperor's Uncle probably didn't take her words to heart.
Thinking about a man who was willing to test poison for the people ten years ago, how could he be someone she could make change with just a few words?
He sighed and said nothing more.
Seeing that it was getting late, he quickly said, "I'm going to give injections to critically ill patients now. Are you going? Help me."
"Okay!" Prince Chen looked at her with stars in his eyes.
In the past two days, Lu Yunluo has been giving injections to critically ill patients in the isolation area.
Everything outside slowly began to recover under the arrangement of Liu Yushi.
On the third day, Yushi Liu received a request for help from the Beiyue army stationed outside the city.
It is said that more and more soldiers are falling in the military camp now.
There are simply not enough doctors around.
The herbs are almost running out.
After recovering from his illness, Lord Chen dispatched men and herbs to support the Beiyue army.
In the afternoon, Yushi Liu sent her several cows and calves.
Some of the cows were infected with cowpox.
Because no one in Tailing County raises cows.
This was found in a village outside Tailing County.
Almost every family in that village raises cows.
Frequently travel in and out of Tailing County.
I even had close contact with a few smallpox patients and had dinner with them at the same table.
But the strange thing is that no one in this village was infected with smallpox.
When Liu Yushi told Lu Yunluo the news, Lu Yunluo just smiled and said nothing.
Someone was ordered to extract thick slurry from cows infected with cowpox and then infect calves.
Three days later.
A local pox rash appeared on the calf.
As long as a concentrated slurry is extracted from calves and inoculated into people who have not been infected with smallpox, and a slight reaction occurs,
You will have lifelong immunity to the smallpox virus.
This is called cowpox vaccination.
Compared with the 2% mortality rate and serious adverse reactions of variola vaccination, cowpox vaccination is milder and safer.
Elder Ge and Elder Tang looked at each other in shock.
If you use the thick liquid from a cowpox infected cow to infect a non-infected person, will you never be infected with smallpox again?
This method was unheard of to them.
Will this work?
Lu Yunluo knew that the principles involved involved various modern professional vocabulary, which could not be explained clearly in a few words. Seeing is believing.
She planned to vaccinate herself first.
Only after she, the empress, was vaccinated against smallpox, could others dare to be vaccinated.
But when she was about to inoculate herself, not only Liu Yushi, but also Mr. Tang and Mr. Ge all opposed it at the same time.
They don't even understand cowpox now, so how can they easily let the Queen take risks?
However, the Empress proposed such a method, and she still felt that she should give it a try.
But this is the right choice.
Liu Yushi directly sent people to the cells in Tailing County to pick up several death row inmates who had never contracted smallpox.
According to the method Lu Yunluo said, after incising a small wound on the arm, the treated thick slurry was inoculated into it.
He was then taken to a separate isolation area for observation for a few days.
After observation, these death row inmates only had a few small pustules on their hands and no other discomfort after that.
After a period of time, these death row inmates were sent to the critical ward. After living there for a few days, they found that none of these death row inmates were infected with smallpox.
Mr. Tang and Mr. Ge were extremely excited.
This is a major discovery.
