Chapter 306 Skin Cut and Scrape 【Seeking Monthly Pass
It had only been a few days since the sixteen contact points of the Afterlife Society were destroyed, but what we feared would happen still happened.
Gu Junzheng was standing outside the isolation ward of Beihe Municipal People's Hospital, accompanied by Deng Ximei, Uncle Dan, Zhang Haidong, Sun Wei, dermatologists from the Tianji Bureau, and others. They had viewed photos of Xie Yiman's facial lesions remotely.
They all tend to think it's not an ordinary allergy or dermatitis.
Because her irregular-shaped protrusions of red skin formed a strange pattern, like the chaotic limbs of the Lord of R'lyeh in the bas-relief.
Is it a skin disease? Or is it skin symptoms caused by other diseases? Is it contagious?
The aftermath of Legionnaires' disease has not receded, but Tianji Bureau must prepare for the worst to deal with this unknown disease.
At this time, Xie Yiman was walking around anxiously in the ward. Her face was already red and swollen due to constant scratching, and the skin was damaged in some places. This made her originally youthful and charming face look a little...
Abnormality.
The death of a young patient is always particularly sad, and the destruction of beautiful things is particularly regrettable.
Everyone looked at the girl and felt uncomfortable.
Of course Gu Jun knew Xie Yiman. Two years ago, when his world was not what it is now, he liked the movies of this new star actor. However, after the incident happened last year, he didn't have the time to pay attention to it. He really didn't expect it at that time.
, there will be such a day.
When they opened the door and walked into the ward, Xie Yiman was immediately excited. Although they were all wearing airtight protective suits, she recognized Gu Jun's face.
The company is also thinking that if she can win the starring role in the movie "Secret Bureau", they will find an opportunity to promote her and Gu Jun's CP for marketing purposes.
After everyone said hello, Gu Jun said: "Miss Xie, we suspect that your disease is related to abnormal power, and then we will make some attempts on you."
He is now less than half a meter away from Xie Yiman, looking at her face so close, a sense of illusion seems to be surging in his heart...
When Xie Yiman opened his mouth to speak, he seemed to see that his teeth had turned into another kind of jagged fangs, and his mouth was stained with a layer of black.
Deng Ximei nodded silently to Gu Jun. She felt that this was related to "Conqueror Worm".
Uncle Egg presided over some routine steps, asking Xie Yiman to press the old seal to purify the stone, and applying the old seal to her, etc., but it was of no use. Xie Yiman still had unbearable itching.
Then Zhang Haidong, Sun Wei and other experts examined her. From the dermatological point of view, her symptoms were erythema, severe itching, local edema, and now she also has secondary skin lesions such as scratches. In addition to the rapid development of the disease,
, the erythema formed a specific shape, and no other abnormalities could be seen.
The most urgent thing now is to understand its cause and pathogenesis, and whether it is contagious.
Therefore, Xie Yiman must immediately perform a skin incision and scrape, and take out the tissue fluid for rapid PCR screening, as well as subsequent bacterial culture, etc., to see if there are any bacteria, viruses or parasites in her active skin lesions.
"My face..." Xie Yiman heard the word "cut and shave" and immediately nervously said what to say.
“Ms.
If the nail is pinched and the skin is almost broken, a band-aid can be used to stop the bleeding without leaving a scar."
Xie Yiman still couldn't feel relieved, but soon a nurse came with scalpels, smears and other tools.
In fact, she now has something more to worry about than these small wounds. If she looks in the mirror again, she will know how seriously the disease has become on her face.
"Amei, do you think this is contagious?" Gu Jun asked Deng Ximei while watching Zhang Haidong incision and scraping Xie Yiman's skin. Her feeling was very important.
Are people like Xie Yiman "Ligeia"?
"It's just a feeling." Deng Ximei said softly, "I feel like this is a random selection from the actors on the stage."
Random selection? Gu Jun couldn't help but ponder, facing all living beings, the randomness of misfortune, the finality of death...
If this is the case, then not only celebrities, but other "stage" practitioners are also at risk.
But maybe there is good news? Audiences outside the stage are not at risk of infection for the time being.
After completing the skin incision and scraping, several experts first prescribed Xie Yiman some anti-allergic and anti-infective drugs. They also tried the generic version of the "No. 1 drug" that is effective in treating Legionnaires' disease, as well as external application of boric acid.
To relieve itching. Until the cause of the disease is figured out, this can only be the case.
A disease control alert has been issued nationwide, and all hospitals across the country must immediately isolate and report patients who receive such skin symptoms.
In the early morning of that day, the PCR results came out, and no conventional bacteria and viruses were detected.
However, none of Xie Yiman's agents, assistants, etc., as well as the film crew who had been in contact with her for many days, fell ill.
But the second, third and other new patients still appeared, showing an outbreak on the "stage", including actors, singers, models, hosts, anchors, etc. By noon the next day, 136 people had been diagnosed, distributed
All over the country, there are not only big stars but also little-known people.
At the same time, this unknown disease also broke out not just in their country, but also in countries such as Citigroup and the United Kingdom.
The number of patients worldwide has exceeded one thousand, and many very successful celebrities are among the patients.
Again on a global scale, goa and wmo have all faced severe challenges before they were officially established...
The pathologies of the patients are all the same. The face suddenly becomes itchy, and then the more it is scratched, the more itchy it becomes. It reaches a critical outbreak point, and erythema and local edema begin to appear.
But the time they reach the critical explosion point is different. Judging from the information collected about them, it seems that the more famous the person, the faster the time.
Now this information is still hidden from the public, and all relevant insiders are under control and isolated.
But if it continues to spread like this, it won't be able to be hidden for long, because people will suddenly find that all those people on the stage have disappeared.
"Ajun, could this be the 'different scale disease' that Great Elder Atal mentioned?" Tongye and the others have this question. The predicted strange scale disease is the growth of some kind of scales all over the body, which is obviously a kind of skin disease.
According to the speculation of medical experts, the symptoms of the disease can only be the hyperkeratosis of the skin, forming keratinized skin similar to scaly.
"It's not impossible." Gu Jun had thought about this for a long time, the deep diver...
What is the relationship between those aliens who believe in the Lord of R'lyeh and the heterosquama disease? And the patients now have limb-like red spots on their faces...
However, the scale disease played such a large role in the legends of later generations. Even if it is not contagious, it must have the ability to cause extremely serious consequences.
It’s still unclear whether it is metazoan. Now many treatment problems have been put in front of them, and once again there is no specific medicine.
No. 1 medicine didn't work, loratadine didn't work, external application of boric acid didn't work...even local anesthesia on the face didn't work.
"Ahhh..." In less than a day, Xie Yiman, who was first admitted to the hospital, became very haggard. She had not had any sleep and rest since the onset of the disease. The itching on her face was getting worse little by little. She had already scratched it in many places.
It's in tatters. If the isolation ward wasn't a sterile environment, it would be easy to get infected.
She didn't want to scratch, she didn't want to have any skin lesions, and the medical staff didn't want her to scratch, but if she didn't scratch, she would be itchy, causing her to have symptoms such as tachycardia and difficulty breathing, and her mental state had also changed.
