Chapter 452

The skin temperature was hot, which was related to high fever. A rash also appeared on his body, which made Xiao Chenguang think about systemic lupus erythematosus.

After all, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Only gradually, Xiao Chenguang realized that something was wrong.

"The family helps the child open his mouth."

"good."

The mother, who had been holding the child in her arms on the hospital bed, began to coax the child to open his mouth.

Perhaps because the fever was too severe, the child looked dull and followed whatever the mother told him to do.

The cooperation is quite good.

As the child opened his mouth, Xiao Chenguang asked for a small flashlight and shined it into the child's mouth.

The bright light instantly displays the hard-to-perceive oral conditions in front of everyone's eyes.

Red and swollen throat, milky white ulcers spread all over the child's oral mucosa.

Especially the red spots on the tongue are even more tingling.

This situation shocked everyone.

Especially the mother, who had been staying by her child's side, was immediately panicked.

"Why did my baby's mouth become like this?"

"Is this...scarlet fever?!"

The typical strawberry tongue shocked Qi Tiancheng.

This is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. It mostly affects children. Typical symptoms are fever, throat swelling and pain, and body rash.

There is no specific medicine for this disease, it is highly contagious and has a certain fatality rate.

When clues appeared in Qi Tiancheng's mind, the conclusion he came to shocked even him.

"Director Xiao, this requires immediate isolation."

Qi Tiancheng quickly took a mask for Xiao Chenguang from the box next to him, feeling extremely regretful.

When the child first entered the emergency department, his condition was urgent and his vital signs were unstable. He was too preoccupied with rescuing the child and asked for a consultation, but did not have time to check the child's oral condition.

Now Director Xiao braved the cold wind to come to the emergency room without wearing a mask, and was exposed to a serious infectious disease transmitted by the respiratory tract. He had to be isolated urgently to prevent infection.

If the operation cannot be performed, the one-month goal cannot be achieved, and the hospital cannot pass the grade review, the efforts of the entire hospital will be in vain.

this……

Qi Tiancheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. At this moment, he felt that he had become a "sinner" in Shengli Hospital.

"Don't worry, everything is still unknown until the inspection is completed."

Xiao Chenguang's faint voice sounded.

Although scarlet fever may seem scary, it pales in comparison to systemic lupus erythematosus.

After ruling out systemic lupus erythematosus, an immune system disease, Xiao Chenguang breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the issue that Qi Tiancheng said requires isolation, Xiao Chenguang has a different view.

He continued to examine along the back of the child's head and found several irregular-sized tumors on the skin behind the ears that were covered by hair.

This is a sign of swollen lymph nodes.

After all, the human neck is rich in lymph and is also the most powerful part of the immune system.

The swelling at this time indicates that inflammatory mediators are constantly attacking the child's immune system.

When Xiao Chenguang examined the child's abdomen, he frowned again because of the obviously enlarged liver and spleen.

"Tiancheng, ask the teacher from the imaging department to come over with a machine and do an urgent abdominal ultrasound."

"I suspect there's something wrong with the kid's liver, too."

"By the way, when you took the blood just now, did you check the biochemistry?"

Facing Xiao Chenguang's inquiry, Qi Tiancheng nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, he also realized that the child in front of him did not seem to have scarlet fever.

Otherwise, there would be no swollen lymph nodes in specific parts of the neck, as well as the current impairment of liver and kidney function.

As Qi Tiancheng began to call the teacher in the B-ultrasound room, he came to the emergency room for bedside ultrasound.

Xiao Chenguang also completed the inspection.

"Director, how is my child? What disease does he have? Is he in danger?"

Parents who have always been on tenterhooks feel frightened every time they think about what happened to their children just now.

During the examination, they did not dare to disturb Xiao Chenguang, but now that it was over, they immediately opened their mouths to ask.

"Your child should be infected with Epstein-Barr virus. The situation is relatively serious. We will have an ultrasound later to clarify the cause of the disease and then make a decision."

Xiao Chenguang's words stunned the family members.

Qi Tiancheng, who had just returned from the nurse station after checking up, happened to hear Xiao Chenguang's words.

"EB virus?"

Even Qi Tiancheng, who has worked for many years, is very unfamiliar with this diagnosis.

"Yes, the child is infected by a virus. We can confirm the diagnosis when the test results come out."

"Now he has typical symptoms of high fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and hepatosplenomegaly."

"In fact, after a while, the child may develop eyelid edema and cheek swelling."

Xiao Chenguang said slowly.

In this day and age, perhaps viral infections are not that common.

But in later decades, after evolution, the harm of the virus has greatly increased.

Especially in winter and spring, children and adults often catch colds almost every month. Symptoms abound, including redness, swelling, heat and pain, nasal congestion and runny nose, fever and chills.

He even comes on time every month than the woman's uncle.

And the ever-spreading Zika virus, rhinovirus, coronavirus, influenza virus and now what is known as Epstein-Barr virus.

It is constantly eroding people's health.

Although most are self-limiting, there are always cases where the condition becomes more and more serious.

Pneumonia, white lung, bloodstream infections, liver and kidney damage, every problem should not be taken lightly.

"Director Xiao, my child has been healthy since he was born. This is the first time he has gotten sick. Why did he become so serious right away?"

After hearing Xiao Chenguang's diagnosis, the family members collapsed instantly.

They had been married for ten years, and finally had a child in their thirties. From pregnancy to birth, the whole family took care of them, for fear that a slight disturbance might cause the child to be injured.

It is really afraid of falling when you hold it in your hand, and afraid of melting when you hold it in your mouth.

Until this time, the fever was high and high. The child was in pain and the parents were distressed, but there was nothing they could do.

"Why is he infected by a virus? My baby has never had a cold before. He usually stays at home and doesn't see many people. Why is it still like this?"

The mother who held the child in her arms felt extremely distressed when she saw Xiaobao's distressed expression, so she habitually kissed him to comfort the child.

"Stop!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chenguang immediately stopped the mother's behavior and understood why the child was still infected with EB virus despite being so well protected.

"Director Xiao, are you saying that EBV is mostly spread through saliva and I infected the child?!"

When the family members heard Xiao Chenguang's words, they were shocked. At this moment, she felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
