Chapter 1706 bold
Zombie disease!
The doubts that were a little uneasy in Buck's mind were immediately integrated when he saw these dogs!
When I was receiving medical officer training at NATO military base, I learned relevant information during the assessment, but because I mainly operated in the sub-cold zones of high latitudes in Eastern Europe, NATO probably did not intend to cultivate any comprehensive talents, as long as I could use it, so there is no actual witness to this special disease that usually occurs in tropical and subtropical areas!
The brief duty in Iraq may have been close to this area, but as an internationally renowned city, Baghdad is barely guaranteed even if it is chaotic, and the medical system and power system are still partially guaranteed. No anti-government armed forces have fully controlled Baghdad, and if there is a corpse on the street, they will be quickly cleaned up.
Right, it's the corpse!
The IS army likes beheading and likes to kill and demonstrate in the street. It is a typical example of killing and burying. Even if their comrades die, they are poured with gasoline and burned them. They are too lazy to dig holes to bury them. This practice will bring about plague epidemics in the cold zone. At that time, the Black Death in Europe took almost half of the lives. In the tropical Middle East where the temperature is higher, it is like leftovers on hot days are more likely to rot, not to mention the human body!
There are countless kinds of severe infectious diseases that may breed in this state.
The situation Buck saw was like the zombies in movies and TV series. After the rotten human body was eaten by dogs, it may produce a carnivorous worm, which is then transmitted to humans through dogs. It is a zoonotic disease with extremely high infectious rates!
One of the information that Buck remembers so far is that this infected person will feel very tired in the afternoon, accompanied by a strong chills and headache, but he is completely awake.
The phone call was called immediately and asked Xiang Wan to quickly contact the relevant person. The girl actually said, "If Uncle Zhou is still there, it would be so convenient."
Zhou Shanfu didn't need it. Just because of Buck, a title that was still held at the Military Medical University, Lao Fan, who was from Yuqing Local Bureau, called and found an expert to contact Xiang Wan immediately and joined the conversation with Buck. He was surprised: "Leishman virus? Where did you find this virus? You must isolate all people in the epidemic area immediately. This is basically a chronic and mortal disease!"
Barker didn't need the other party to teach him, he just wanted to confirm: "Don't worry about where you are, what other ways can you test and diagnose this disease?" At this time, I just blamed myself for not being serious when I was studying, and I avoided it without taking the exam. The result...
Experts are very serious: "If such a virus appears in China, it is a matter of life and death. Don't forget the harm of SARS to China!"
Xiang Wan couldn't help but explain: "He is carrying out a mission abroad..."
Experts are not reliable: "First of all, there is fever. There are fevers several times a day without interruption and irregularity. As long as you can measure the patient's body temperature, then there is a puncture test, ilium, spleen, and lymph node puncture can be performed, and you will have blood tests if you don't have to do it!"
Buck wanted to roll his eyes: "The medical conditions here are limited, and I can't even get close to the patient. I can only see from a distance and there is no equipment. Now I only see dogs, a large number of open-air corpses, and people who are starting to have fever and burnout in the afternoon, can I tell if it is this disease, or if there are any other diseases?"
Experts' habitual rigor: "It's very likely, but not 100%... There seems to be no other diseases. Minibus, can you tell me about what area you are in? Africa? Asia or where."
Buck hesitated: "Syrian cities in central Syria have completely lost their public medical system and are almost paralyzed in social order."
The experts were immediately surprised: "Syria? Some! There was a small-scale Leishman virus outbreak there, but it was something decades ago. Someone else went to participate in the treatment, mainly because of the Soviet experts' consultation at that time... Wait a moment, I will call someone to ask and give you a reply!"
The reply was quick, it was really just a phone call. This kind of rotten corpse and worm disease that occurs in the tropical and subtropical areas around the Mediterranean is particularly harmful. As long as you get hit, you will most likely not escape the call of death within two years. However, because it is just a fever intermittently and does not die immediately, it is particularly disguised to the uninformed people. As long as there are doctors in the local area, such a problem can be eliminated in the early stage, but IS troops, which kill all the things and do not pay attention to science, have created such a dead area!
This chronic infectious disease with a mortality rate of up to 80% will be quickly transmitted through the touch of patients or wild dogs, as well as the bites of insects parasitic on the dog. In addition to fever, there is another surface feature that the face will flush. In severe cases, it is almost festering, just like those zombies with crooked melons and cracked dates in zombie films!
If you can get a test, it is very simple. If you reach out and touch, the spleen of any patient infected with Leishmania pathogen will definitely be enlarged. Once these characteristics are crossed, they will most likely be diagnosed without testing.
Without even asking the experts to sign a confidentiality agreement, Xiang Wan was worried: "Are you...come back?"
Buck believes in science: "Then I need to stay and see. Once such a virus spreads out of these areas, the consequences will be very serious."
Experts also disagree with the lesbian's emotions: "As professionals, we must have the spirit of scientific research to face difficulties, and the minibus represents the traditional spirit of our colleges. This is what Lao Zhou has always emphasized. This disease is not air or body fluid transmission, but is pathogenic. As long as you pay attention to preventing contact, you can ensure that infection is avoided..."
Well, Buck asked about several drugs and then targeted the medical kit he brought, and found that the only thing he could use was disinfectant: "I will find a way to get close to the patient to see if there is really a similar situation."
After hearing the news, Lao Bai called to Buck to speak with a programmatic leader: "Fortunately, you are a compound talent and know about medical care. Otherwise, something happened before other comrades went there. Be careful, we are looking forward to your good news!"
It's indeed a bit of gratitude.
So Buck will focus on where these locals who seem to be in bad shape for the rest of the time.
Until nightfall, Buck widely observed from his limited perspective that dozens of people were unable to lean under the eaves of the walls and the temperature dropped. He stood up one after another. It seemed that some people were taking some potions, probably the local native folk remedies, and it was definitely a treatment for fever.
This is a standard treatment of symptoms but not root causes.
I simply took two more compression energy pills, reorganized my backpack, and kept most of the items in my bag, carried them to an inconspicuous corner on the second floor to hide them. I wore medical gloves and wrapped my Arabian scarf around my head with only a pair of eyes left outside. I wore the local costume I peeled off from the suffocating body yesterday, and with the help of the last bit of sunset, I walked across the ring road and walked into the city!
Faced with the extremely high mortality rate infectious diseases and the vicious IS military terrorists, go in calmly!
By the way, he is so brave!
