Chapter 99 Cysticercosis,

After a week, Qinzi's pathological analysis was sent to Chen Yu.

"Is this...cysticercus? Haemocystis IgG antibody positive?" Looking at the results of the pathological analysis, although he had already guessed that it was a parasite, Chen Yu was still shocked by the result.

Cysticercosis is the notorious pork tapeworm. It is infected in a wide range of areas in China, as many as 27 provinces, and about 2 to 3 million people are infected. Cysticercosis is the larvae of the pork tapeworm that parasitizes various human tissues.

Such as diseases caused by the brain, eyes, etc. Invasion of the brain is the most common, and others can be parasitic in subcutaneous tissue, muscles, eyes, etc.

Tapeworms are giant intestinal parasites. The adult worm can reach 72 feet (21.9456 meters) in length and live a parasitic life. The adults parasitize vertebrates, and the larvae mainly parasitize invertebrates or use vertebrates as intermediate hosts.

.The life span of cysticerci can be as long as ten years. Once parasitized, it will seriously endanger human health.

Pork tapeworm patients are the only source of infection for cysticercosis. The eggs excreted in the feces of the patient are infectious to the patient and the people around him. Therefore, the human body is not only the final host of the pig tapeworm, but also an intermediate host. By contaminating food

After the eggs enter the human intestine due to self-infection, the six hookworms in the eggs shed their shells, pass through the intestinal wall and enter the blood stream, and cysticercosis (cysticercosis) occurs in different parts of the human body. Among them, neurocysticercosis

Disease is the most common.

Due to the different numbers and locations of cysticerci invading the brain, as well as the different development processes and deaths of cysticerci, the clinical symptoms of neurocysticercosis are complex and changeable, and the condition fluctuates.

In a few cases, due to a large number of cysticercosis entering the brain, the onset is sudden, with obvious mental and neurological disorders, and even rapid death. Generally speaking, the neurological damage of cerebral cysticercosis depends on the mechanical effect caused by the number and location of cysticercosis and the inflammation caused by cysticercosis.

Sexual and toxic reactions.

Kotoko was only infected with a spleen, not a brain or intestinal parasite. She was really very lucky. Based on the number of eggs she was infected with, if they hatched and infected her brain, it would most likely lead to her death.

Looking at the pathological analysis report in his hand, Chen Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. When he was still studying at a university in China, a professor at the school once specifically talked about the dangers of cysticercosis. The old professor who specialized in infectious diseases was trying to

To give them a more intuitive impression, I specially showed them tapeworm specimens and a stack of photos of various tapeworm-infected patients. Especially one of the photos of a craniotomy of a patient infected with neurocysticercosis made Chen Yu particularly horrified, as it corroded into the brain.

The tapeworm... it really makes his scalp numb just thinking about it now.

Shaking his head to dispel the numbing memories in his mind, Chen Yu stood up with the pathology report and planned to go to the ward to hand it to Qinzi.

Qinzi's ward is a double ward that is slightly better than the ordinary four-person ward. Because she is a woman, the hospital usually arranges for women to live in the same room by default. However, it seems that there are not so many female patients for the time being. Qinzi's ward only has

She is alone.

When Chen Yu came to Qinzi's ward, Hiromi Jonouchi was standing in front of the hospital bed chatting with Qinzi.

Although she had just undergone surgery, Qinzi gradually recovered within a week, and her complexion looked good. Perhaps it was because the surgery removed the lesions, which allowed her to relax. At this time, Qinzi was not like before.

When she was crying and asking Chen Yu to save her, her face was filled with smiles.

"Homi, are you here too?" Chen Yu said hello to his girlfriend as he walked into the ward. He walked to the bedside and looked at Qinzi lying on the bed. He picked up the medical records on the bedside and took a look at it.

Ask her: "How are you feeling today? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Thank you, Doctor Chen. I feel much better today, but the wound is still a little itchy." Qinzi expressed her gratitude to Chen Yu. She obviously had a good impression of the doctor who saved her.

If she hadn't already known that Chen Yu already had a girlfriend, a young, promising and handsome man like Hiromi Jonouchi whom she was familiar with, Qinzi would have been attracted to her long ago.

However, Qinzi is obviously not the kind of person who will miss other people's boyfriends, especially since both Hiromi Jonouchi and Chen Yu have saved her, which makes her even less likely to do anything to Hiromi Jonouchi's boyfriend.

Chen Yu nodded, looked at the records in the medical record and said to Qinzi: "In a week, the wound should still be recovering. From the looks of it, the recovery is good, and the stitches should be removed."

"Thank you Dr. Chen. I feel like my whole body is getting rusty after being in the hospital during this time." Qinzi was naturally very happy when she heard that she would be discharged from the hospital soon. After all, no one wanted to be in the hospital.

I can live in this place for a long time.

Chen Yu couldn't deny what Qinzi said, because Qinzi might not be able to leave the hospital for a while, because she still had to stay in the hospital for treatment of the cysticercosis she contracted.

Thinking like this, Chen Yu took out the pathological analysis report he brought over and said to Qinzi: "I'm afraid I won't be able to let you out of the hospital for a while, because you were infected with cysticercosis before, and I have to wait until you are completely recovered.

Only then can you be discharged from the hospital.”

"cysticercosis, what kind of disease is that?" Qinzi obviously didn't know much about an unheard-of disease like cysticercosis, and looked at Chen Yu with confusion.

Hiromi Jonouchi was startled, looked at Chen Yu in surprise, and confirmed to him: "Chen Yujun, are you mistaken? Is it really cysticercosis? Isn't it a misdiagnosis?"

"The Haemocystis IgG antibody is positive. I think this kind of thing will not lead to misdiagnosis. And didn't you also see what her spleen looked like when it was cut open? That is not something that ordinary parasites can cause." Chen

Yu handed the pathological analysis report in his hand to Hiromi Jonouchi, and looked at Kotoko who was lying on the hospital bed: "I have to say that you are really lucky. It's just a spleen infection. Usually cysticercosis infects the brain.

It can cause epilepsy or even brain death."

"Brain dead?" Qinzi suddenly felt horrified, especially when she heard Chen Yu say the word "worm", she even felt like there were countless bugs crawling on her body.

"cysticerodes is pork tapeworm, a giant intestinal parasite that can grow up to more than 20 meters long. How did you get infected with this kind of thing?" Chen Yu looked at Qinzi and couldn't help but feel curious: "Could it be that you

Do you have the habit of eating raw pork or something like that?”

"No... I have swallowed insect eggs... A few years ago, it was popular to swallow roundworm eggs to lose weight. At that time, I didn't buy roundworm eggs, so I bought pork tapeworm... I thought it was ineffective..." Qinzi obviously understood that she
