Zhang Yan was sitting in Zhao Pengcheng's office, frowning as he looked at the X-rays and ultrasound test reports one after another.

This is already the fifteenth confirmed case of cystic hydatid disease, and this is because many people have not yet completed testing.

That means there's more.

"Doctor Zhang, how are you?" Chu Yunlong also rushed over after receiving the news.

“Report to the Health Bureau and District Government!

This could be a disaster!" Zhang Yan said solemnly.

"Disaster...disaster?" Chu Yunlong trembled in fright after hearing Zhang Yan's words.

The disaster described by doctors is quite terrifying.

“According to interviews with patients, they belong to different departments, some are responsible for pastures, some are responsible for pig farms, and some are responsible for farming.

There is usually no place where they intersect. The only place where they intersect is drinking water.

Their water source comes from a river that passes through the farm in the western suburbs. Do you know what this means?" Zhang Yan looked at Chu Yunlong and said in a deep voice.

"Water pollution..." Chu Yunlong's face turned pale.

Water pollution is the most serious situation.

This is not just a question of how many people on the Xijiao farm are infected, but how many of the pigs, cattle and sheep on the Xijiao farm are infected, and how many of them have been transported to Beijing and eaten by people.

This is the most serious thing.

Chu Yunlong didn't dare to delay for a minute. He directly picked up the phone on Zhao Pengcheng's desk and started reporting to the Health Bureau.

After receiving the report from Xicheng Hospital, the Health Bureau did not dare to neglect. While reporting to the district government, it sent a deputy director to Xicheng Hospital to take charge.

"Director Kong, welcome Director Kong..."

"Okay, let's not talk about those official words. Let's go directly to the conference room and talk about the situation!" Director Kong waved his hand directly, interrupting Chu Yunlong's official talk.

A group of people came to the conference room.

"Doctor Zhang, please give a report to Director Kong." Chu Yunlong looked at Zhang Yan and said politely.

"Director Kong, Dr. Zhang is the vice president of the Affiliated Hospital of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. He is here to support us this time.

This collective cystic hydatid infection incident was also the first one discovered by Dr. Zhang." Chu Yunlong introduced Zhang Yan's identity to Director Kong in a low voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhang!" Director Kong nodded to Zhang Yan and said politely.

"It's not hard work, it's my responsibility!" Zhang Yan said modestly, and then began to report formally.

“Cystic echinococcosis is also called echinococcosis. Because echinococcosis first parasitizes in the liver, it is also called hepatic echinococcosis. It is an infectious disease that can infect humans and animals at the same time.

At present, the number of confirmed cases in the western suburbs farm has increased to 23, and all of them are multiple cystic hydatid disease.

Through my interviews with patients, I found that there should be a problem with a water source in the farm in the western suburbs.

The Nansha River flows through the western suburbs farm. What these 23 patients have in common is that they drank water from the Nansha River.

Of course, it is just a suspicion now, and the specific reasons require further investigation." Zhang Yan gave a brief report.

"What is the source of infection for multiple cystic hydatid disease you are talking about?"

"The source of infection for multiple cystic hydatid disease is mainly water, food, and infected animal feces contaminated by hydatid eggs. When the human body comes into contact with these animals or food containing hydatid eggs, it can

It enters the human digestive tract and infects humans. Therefore, its sources of infection are mainly dogs, foxes and cats, as well as water and food contaminated by it."

"In other words, there are many sources of infection, and it cannot be determined to be the water source."

"Yes, the reason I suspect it is the water source is because these people live and work several kilometers apart. The only thing they have in common is that they all live on both sides of the Nansha River and drink water from the Nansha River on weekdays."

"Haha, I understand. I will report this matter to my superiors and ask the relevant departments to assist in the investigation.

Doctor Zhang, what I want to know now is whether this disease can be cured? How likely is it to be cured?"

"We have already had a treatment plan before, which involves surgical removal of the worm cysts, and then combined with traditional Chinese medicine decoction for subsequent treatment, the cure rate can reach 80%."

"Eighty percent, very good!" Director Kong felt relieved.

According to Director Kong's understanding, the 80% that Zhang Yan said actually means that it can be cured 100% of the time.

However, as a doctor, there are many factors to consider. Therefore, in the eyes of doctors, there is no 100% surgery.

"Dr. Zhang, I also read some papers on cystic hydatid disease on the way here. It is said that the incubation period of this kind of cystic hydatid disease is very long.

Could it last more than ten years, or even more than twenty years?"

"Yes, the incubation period of cystic hydatid disease can be up to forty years, and some people may even live with the cysts throughout their lives." Zhang Yan nodded and answered truthfully.

"So, do we still need to be so nervous?

These more than 20 patients may not be infected with worms now, but were infected with hydatid disease more than ten or even twenty years ago." Director Kong mentioned another possibility.

"Well, this is indeed a possibility, but it cannot be ruled out that the infection was caused recently, because there is no precise time for the onset of hydatid disease!" Zhang Yan nodded, and he had to admit that this possibility did exist.

"So, is there any way to confirm the time when they were infected with hydatid disease?"

"Well, there is no such technology for the time being." Zhang Yan shook his head and said.

He also wants to know when the infection occurred. Not to mention now, even future generations will not have such technology.

If you are infected with hydatid disease, you may not get sick for decades. You can live in symbiosis with the echinococcosis and you won't get sick for a lifetime.

However, it is also possible for symptoms to develop in just a few months.

"I understand, Dean Zhang, Dean Chu, you will do your best to treat these sick comrades.

As for the investigation, we will apply to relevant departments to assist in the investigation." Director Kong said simply after listening to the report.

It is useless to wonder when the patient became infected. This will take time to investigate.

The top priority is to treat patients who have been diagnosed.

"Yes!" Zhang Yan and Chu Yunlong stood up and agreed.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"Well! Whatever you need, the bureau will fully support you.

I hope your Xicheng Hospital can fight this tough battle well.

Comrades, the time to test you has come. I believe that Xicheng Hospital is a force that can stand the test." Director Kong also stood up and said loudly.

Most of the leaders of this era were retired from the military, with a strong military style.
