His entire person has changed? "Zheng Ren narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, he used to have a good appetite, a strong body, and a diving license." The young woman sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the last time he dived was a long time ago. Ever since he got this disease, it was fine for the first two years. The number of times he had to defecate every day was very few. Recently … "
As she spoke, she felt a little awkward.
Zheng Ren did not say anything to interrupt the woman's train of thought.
"Now he has to wear a diaper when he goes out. He always tells me that it's like he has dementia."
Zheng Ren understood. Diarrhea was a minor illness, but it was equivalent to carrying a ticking time bomb and not knowing when to go to the bathroom.
When they arrived at an unfamiliar place, they didn't even have time to enjoy the scenery. The first thing they did was to look for the bathroom. Otherwise, there would be no sense of security. Who knew when this time bomb would explode.
However, he found the description of the patient's family quite interesting.
"Diving permit? Is it a professional?"
"No, the amateur kind. We used to go to Thailand, the Maldives, and Mauritius every year. Diving, the sun … "The young woman stopped talking.
These things were too sad to talk about.
A good life was so fragile under the torture of illness that it could be broken with a single blow.
The sun, the waves, the beach, the cactus, and diving were all gone when he was sick.
Even if it was just a seemingly unremarkable diarrhea.
Zheng Ren had an idea.
"You travel every year?"
"You travel every year?"
He and Su Yun asked at the same time.
Lin Yuan was a little surprised. She raised her head and took a look. Travel? Was Boss Zheng considering foreign parasites?
There were none in the country, but there seemed to be many types of parasites in other countries.
Africa was more common, but … Lin Yuan's train of thought was suddenly led astray.
"Yeah," the young woman replied helplessly.
What does this have to do with diarrhea?
"Boss Zheng, are you considering tourists having diarrhea?" Chief Luo asked.
"You can think of it that way for now." "Please ask if the endoscopy is done. I want to see if the local biopsy can find the parasite."
Chief Luo picked up the phone and made a call.
"Doctor, what is tourist diarrhea?" The young woman was stunned.
"I'll explain later," Zheng Ren said. "Have you ever had diarrhea?"
"Many people have had diarrhea," the young woman said. "But every time I have diarrhea, I'll be fine after taking some pipemidic acid and lipterin."
"The cure rate for diarrhea in tourists is about 72%," Su Yun said.
Zheng Ren nodded. If the explanation was that it was a tourist's diarrhea, there was also an explanation for the young woman's slightly red System panel.
Chief Luo quickly put down the phone and said, "The colonoscopy is done. I'm about to do the gastroscopy."
"Oh, that's good." Zheng Ren smiled. "Otherwise, we'll have to do a intestinal test capsule test. It's very troublesome, and the positive rate isn't high."
"What's an intestinal test capsule?" Lin Yuan asked.
"It's a very crude method, but it's effective," Su Yun said coldly.
"The patient has to swallow a capsule containing a nylon thread. The free end of the thread is left outside the mouth. After the capsule dissolves, the nylon thread is released and stretched. After three to four hours, when the nylon thread reaches the duodenum and jejunum, the trophozoite will adhere to the nylon thread. Then, slowly pull out the nylon thread and scrape off the attachment for microscopic examination. "
It was really a very crude method. Lin Yuan had never heard of a similar method at Harvard Medical School.
After the gastroscopy was done, he could just do it again. What was there to hesitate about?
This method sounded crude, and the positive rate was not high.
"I told the other side to use the lens to take some biopsy tissue," Chief Luo said. "But if we send it for examination …"
He pondered for a moment and looked at Zheng Ren.
"I'll go and do it." Zheng Ren smiled. He knew what Chief Luo meant.
"Boss Zheng, I can do it!" Lin Yuan volunteered.
"Oh, then watch me do it later." Zheng Ren asked, "Su Yun, help me get the optical tweezers."
"Got it. Contact Chief Chi while you're at it," Su Yun said. "In the future, can these trivial tasks be handed over to the newcomer?"
Lin Yuan's head was wet. Optical tweezers? Chief Chi? She did not know anything about it.
"I'll rush it. I'll contact Chief Chi." Chief Luo smiled and made a few more calls.
When he put down the phone, the young woman asked timidly, "Doctor, does travel diarrhea refer to acclimatization? Someone has diagnosed it before. "
"Acclimatization is not a diagnosis," Chief Luo said with a smile.
Chief Zheng's diagnosis was the same as his, which made Chief Luo very gratified.
"Oh, I see. Considering that your lover's illness is Giardia lamblia infection.
This parasite parasitizes the small intestine and gallbladder of the human body, mainly in the duodenum. It can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, malabsorption, and other symptoms, leading to giardiasis. It is one of the common parasites in the human intestine.
"Giardia are distributed all over the world. In the past decade or so, due to the development of tourism, the incidence of tourists is higher, so it is also known as tourist diarrhea. "
The young woman looked at Zheng Ren in a daze.
She could understand every word he said, but she did not know what he was saying when they were put together.
"This kind of disease usually occurs in one person, and the whole family will get it," Zheng Ren added.
"Huh? But I don't have it, "the young woman said.
"Many drugs are effective against giardia, but other than metronidazole … For example, the listerine that you took will have an effective rate of about 72%." Zheng Ren smiled. "There is no drug that is 100% effective."
"If it is diagnosed, oral metronidazole will probably have an effect very soon. The effective rate of metronidazole can reach more than 98%. It is a special drug. "
The young woman still refused to believe it.
The 'incurable disease' that had troubled her family for five years could be solved by taking metronidazole?
This was too much of a myth.
Soon, Chief Luo contacted everything. The few of them went to the pathology department to borrow a microscope while Su Yun ran to get the optical tweezers.
"Boss Zheng, how did you determine it?" Lin Yuan asked on the way.
"It's a preliminary diagnosis. I'll try it before I see," Zheng Ren answered very casually.
Lin Yuan was not very satisfied with Zheng Ren's answer, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no good way.
Boss Zheng had just said all the symptoms and questions, so he could not say anything to refute.
Then he would take a look under the microscope.
When they arrived at the pathology department, the nurse in the endoscopy room had already sent the specimen over. Su Yun also rushed over with the optical tweezers.
Zheng Ren quickly made his preparations and was well-trained. He sat under the microscope in the middle and began to observe.
Chief Chi definitely had to take up a shot, so Chief Luo did not stand on ceremony. Although the little girl who came with Boss Zheng was eager to give it a try, Chief Luo would not be modest in such matters.
It was more important to watch Boss Zheng's operation.
As for the girl, was a young doctor in her twenties worth being modest?
