Chapter 1021 (1/2)

At this time, Xu Wei also treated the wound back.

”How's it going?” Xu Wei asked.

”Gave me some stability and went to sleep again.” Guo Xiang said.

”What the hell is going on?” Xu Wei said, ”why did you bite people?”

”Xu Wei, I doubt...” Guo Xiang looked at Xu Wei. ”Look at the old man, his body is convulsive, hot and sweaty. He seems to be afraid of water!”

”There are hallucinations, sometimes confused and manic. Just now someone opened the curtain, he shouted. This is photophobia...”

”You mean... Rabies?” Xu Wei looked at the sleeping old man strangely, and then looked at the wound he had just treated. His face was white.

All these symptoms are the same as those of a rabies attack.

Hydrophobia, in particular, is endemic to rabies.

Because of the influence of the virus, patients who hear the sound of water, see water or drink water will cause reflex pharyngeal muscle spasm and extreme pain. Therefore, although patients are thirsty, they dare not drink water and cannot swallow after drinking, resulting in dehydration. 80% of rabies patients have this typical performance.

”Has the old man been bitten by a dog before he came to your house?” Guo Xiang hurriedly asked the couple.

”I don't know!” They shook their heads. They really didn't know when they asked.

Guo Xiang was helpless. He went to roll up the old man's pants and checked them. There was no foot.

Looking at the other foot, I really saw a wound. I could see that it was a tooth mark, and it was relatively new.

Although there was a scab, it was a relatively new scab, probably only two or three days ago.

Guo Xiang looked serious. He quickly took a cotton swab from the side, pinched the old man's mouth and stuck some saliva. If it was rabies, there would be rabies virus in the patient's saliva.

Then Xu Wei... She looked at Xu Wei's hand. The old man bit his hand and bled. There must be saliva on his teeth. The virus in saliva may also enter Xu Wei's body.

Guo Xiang's face became very serious. He took the test tube and loaded the cotton swab. ”Take it for test immediately!”

In the laboratory, add the corresponding reagent into the instrument, and everyone is waiting anxiously.

Before long, the same virus lineage as rabies appeared on the computer screen.

It's rabies!

Xu Wei's face turned white.

”Go to the epidemic prevention station to get vaccinated immediately to see if there is rabies virus serum or immunoglobulin. Go quickly!” Guo Xiang said hurriedly.

Generally speaking, if bitten by a dog, it is best to vaccinate within 24 hours, which can most effectively prevent rabies.

Immunoglobulin injection is a passive immunotherapy. It is to deliver a large number of antibodies contained in immunoglobulin to the recipient, so that it can quickly reach the temporary immune protection state from low or no immune state.

Because of the interaction between antibody and antigen, it can directly neutralize toxin and kill bacteria and viruses. Therefore, immunoglobulin products play a certain role in preventing bacterial and viral infection.

In other words, immunoglobulin can quickly improve your immunity against the virus. Compared with the vaccine, the effect is slow, but the lasting effect is long. Therefore, in order to prevent the acute attack of the virus, it is best to inject immunoglobulin.

Now it has been determined that there is rabies virus in the elderly, the possibility of infection has greatly increased, and acute prevention is necessary.

”Take my car!” Guo Xiang took out the car key, ”let Zeng Jing take you, she can drive!”

Zeng Jing worked in the United States for some time. It's normal to be able to drive.

”Don't worry, it may not be infected!” Guo Xiang patted Xu Wei on the shoulder.

But if the infection is 100% dead, the old man won't live for a few days.

Xu Wei nodded. It's no use saying anything now. Let's take a preventive injection first.
