Chapter 914 (1/2)

Not long after returning to the hospital in the afternoon, the ophthalmologist came to Guo Xiang and said that a patient's eye disease was a little special. Let Guo Xiang have a look.

In fact, Guo Xiang is not very good at Ophthalmology, but she likes difficult and miscellaneous diseases best, so she went to see what happened.

Guo Xiang looked at the man's eyes. The whole white part of his right eye was red. It looked a little scary.

”Is this red eye disease?” Asked Guo Xiang.

Red eye disease should be paid attention to. It will be infectious. Patients who have been in contact must be disinfected, otherwise they will be easily infected.

”I thought it was keratitis at first.” Dr. Jin of Ophthalmology nodded, ”this patient has seen it in other hospitals before. I read the medical records and was also diagnosed with keratitis. I opened tomycin dexamethasone eye drops and ofloxacin eye ointment. It should be right.”

Guo Xiang nodded. This is the combination of antibiotics and hormones. It should be effective for keratitis.

”As a result, the patient said it was useless for two days. He came to our hospital and I prescribed levofloxacin for him.” Dr. King said.

Guo Xiang nodded. Ofloxacin is also divided into left-handed and right-handed. Right-handed ofloxacin has little effect. Left-handed ofloxacin is purified and has almost twice the efficacy, so the effect is obvious.

”But he still didn't use the medicine.” Dr. Jin looked at the patient's eyes. ”You see, it seems to be serious. It turned out that the corner of the right eye is red. Now the whole white eye is red. It's almost enveloping the black eye.”

Guo Xiang put on his gloves and checked the patient again. It doesn't seem to be a typical red eye disease. Red eye disease usually has inflammatory secretions. Obviously, this person doesn't.

”What's wrong with your eyes?” Guo Xiang asked the patient.

The patient thought, ”sometimes I have a headache and take a painkiller if it hurts badly.”

”Headache?” Guo Xiang frowned, ”is there anything else?”

”Others don't seem to have...” the patient scratched his eyes. ”It's just that there's a little itching here. Does that count?”

”Itch?” Guo Xiang looked at the patient's face. There was a little rash near the corner of his right eye and his nose, which was not particularly obvious.

”Is this a drug allergy?” Dr. Jin looked up and said, ”ofloxacin should not be allergic. This is a common drug.”

”The possibility of this allergy is unlikely, and dexamethasone has an anti allergic effect, it should not be.” Guo Xiang shook his head.

”It may have nothing to do with your eyes, but where did you touch it by mistake.” Dr. King said.

”Why don't you call Dr. Cheng from the dermatology department for consultation?” Guo Xiang said that what she is good at is surgery, or it's better to let dermatologists take a look.

Dr. Jin went out and soon called Dr. Cheng from the dermatology department.

Dr. Cheng looked at the patient's face carefully and said, ”this is herpes zoster.”

”Isn't shingles growing on the waist?” Asked Dr. Kim.

”Yes, I've had herpes zoster before. It's in my waist. It's painful and itchy, but I can suffer.” The patient also said.

”There are many kinds of banded blister diagnosis. You say that it is the most common one. It is generally arranged along a certain peripheral nerve distribution area on one side of the body, including armpit, flank rib, chest, back, waist and head and face, and generally does not exceed the midline.”

”It is most common in the thoracic segment, followed by the lumbar segment, cervical segment and trigeminal nerve distribution area. It can also occur in other parts such as limbs, but it is relatively rare. The general attack is extremely painful, accompanied by symptoms such as irritability and fever. Do you have a fever? ” Dr. Cheng asked the patient.

”It's a little, but the fever is not high, so I didn't say, but my head hurts. I don't know if this is the reason?” Said the patient.

Dr. Cheng nodded, ”because your herpes zoster is eye herpes zoster. When the virus invades the trigeminal nerve, your eyes are affected, accompanied by congestion, swelling and severe pain. If the cornea is involved, ulcerative keratitis is formed after the blister breaks, which can lead to blindness due to scar formation. ”
