Seriously speaking, amoeba not only causes meningoencephalitis, but also invades other organs of the human body and can cause other diseases such as amoebic dysentery, amoebic colitis, liver abscess, etc.
It was singled out and emphasized as a brain-eating worm, mainly because once it is confirmed that it causes meningoencephalitis, the golden window period for treatment needs to be grasped. It is best to find the drug within three days, and it is basically too late to treat it after three days.
Even if he survives, the fatality rate is too high.
Besides, amoeba is not the only parasite that can enter the human brain and cause disease. In fact, there are very few cases of brain-eating parasites in the world, so every time a case occurs, reporters like to make it big news and scare people half to death.
What Mi Siran means is that if it is really meningoencephalitis caused by amoeba, it will be too late to treat it given the medical history. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the child will die. There is no use in the pediatric surgery department, just go back to your pediatrician.
Bar.
"So I said, don't make random guesses about Senior Sister Xie's thoughts. It can't be a brain-eating worm." Fan Yunyun insisted not to be outdone. If it were a brain-eating worm, no one else needed to tell her. Senior Sister Xie would first let her and Fan Yunyun get out.
gone.
Because the brain-eating worm itself cannot be cured by surgery, Senior Sister Xie will not be stupid enough to admit patients who do not belong to her department. Fan Yunyun has great confidence in Senior Sister Xie.
The two junior sisters were debating who was right and who was wrong.
The CT report came out, and the nurse asked people to go to the CT room to get the report sheet and printed films.
After getting the film, the doctor hung it on the light board in the office.
The family members followed the doctor and stood in front of the light board to watch the child's film. The doctor can return the film to the patient and family after using it, so it is not something that cannot be shown to the family members. The family members must not be able to understand it if they have not studied medicine.
Doctor: "How is my child?"
There are abnormal small white dots and white lines in the brain tissue.
It seemed that the child might be suffering from a parasitic disease. A group of junior brothers and sisters who were watching were the first to exclaim inwardly because Senior Sister Xie's guess from the beginning was right.
"Look, Senior Sister Xie and I are not brain-eating insects, right?" Fan Yunyun said proudly to her opponent immediately.
The CT manifestations of brain-eating worms are not like this. There will be horrific diffuse and dense brain damage areas. This condition looks more like other parasitic encephalopathies.
"Maybe it's neurocysticercosis." Mi Siran changed his mind.
Neurocysticercosis is mainly a parasitic disease caused by the cysticerci developed from pork tapeworms entering the brain. It is better than brain-eating worms in that it is almost never seen to reproduce in the human brain. Therefore, most of the brain symptoms are just worms
Symptoms of hydrocephalus may be caused by local inflammation caused by compression of brain tissue or by part of the worm blocking the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. Compared with the widespread meningitis caused by brain-eating worms, the symptoms are much milder and can be removed by neurosurgery.
"I advise you not to jump to conclusions early." Fan Yunyun, who had already won once, told the other party.
Mi Siran never believed that he was wrong. Medicine should be discussed actively. He was not afraid of being criticized by Senior Sister Xie if he was wrong. He said to Fan Yunyun: "If you don't tell me, how do you know where you are wrong?"
The opponent's words were finally a relatively successful counterattack.
Fan Yunyun's cheeks bulged, and she was holding back her breath.
After hearing that there was a bug in their child's brain, the family members were panicked and frightened, and finally realized that the doctor had just asked them a series of questions about the child's food, drink and entertainment.
