Seriously speaking, amoeba not only causes meningoencephalitis, but also invades other organs of the human body and causes other diseases such as amoebic dysentery, amoebic colitis, liver abscess, etc.
The reason why it was singled out as a brain-eating worm is that once it is confirmed to be the cause of meningoencephalitis, the golden window of treatment needs to be seized. It is best to find and use medication within three days. After three days, it is basically too late to save the patient, and the mortality rate is too high.
Besides, there are far more parasites that can enter the human brain and cause disease than just amoeba. In fact, there are very few cases of brain-eating worms in the world, so every time a case comes, reporters like to make it a big news to scare people to death.
Misiran meant that if it was really meningoencephalitis caused by amoeba, it was too late to treat the child given the medical history, and the child would most likely die. There was no point in the pediatric surgery department joining in the fun, so just go back to your pediatric surgery department.
"So I told you, don't speculate what Senior Sister Xie is thinking. It can't be a brain-eating worm." Fan Yunyun insisted. If it was a brain-eating worm, Senior Sister Xie would have told Fan Yunyun to get out of here without anyone telling her.
Because brain-eating worms themselves cannot be cured by surgery, Senior Sister Xie would not be stupid enough to admit patients who do not belong to her department. Fan Yunyun has great confidence in Senior Sister Xie.
The two junior sisters debated about who was right and who was wrong.
The CT report came out, and the nurse asked someone to go to the CT room to get the report and printed film.
After getting the X-ray, the doctor hung it on the light board in the office.
...
...
The family members did not leave and followed the doctor to stand in front of the light board to look at the child's film. The doctor can return the film to the patient and the family members after using it, so it is not something that cannot be shown to the family members. The family members did not study medicine and certainly could not understand it, so they asked the doctor: "How is my child?"
There are abnormal white spots and lines in the brain tissue.
It seems that the child may really have a parasitic disease. The group of junior brothers and sisters who were watching were the first to exclaim in their hearts, because Senior Sister Xie’s guess from the beginning was correct.
"Look, it's me and Senior Sister Xie, right? We're not brain-eating worms." Fan Yunyun said proudly to her opponent at the first moment.
The CT scan of brain-eating worms is not like this. There will be horrible diffuse and dense brain destruction areas. This condition looks more like other parasitic encephalopathy.
"It might be brain cysticercosis." Misran changed the topic.
Brain cysticercosis is a parasitic disease caused by the cysticercus of pork tapeworm entering the brain. It is better than brain-eating worms in that it is almost impossible to reproduce in the human brain. Therefore, the brain symptoms are mostly caused by the worms themselves compressing the brain tissue to produce local inflammation or part of the worm body blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and causing hydrocephalus. Compared with the extensive meningitis caused by brain-eating worms, it is much milder and can be removed by neurosurgery.
"I advise you not to jump to conclusions too early." Fan Yunyun, who had already won once, told the other party.
Mi Siran never thought that he was wrong. Medicine should be discussed actively. He was not afraid of being criticized by Senior Sister Xie if his speculation was wrong. He said to Fan Yunyun, "If you don't tell me, how do you know where you are wrong?"
The other party's words were finally a relatively successful counterattack.
Fan Yunyun's cheeks were puffed up, and she was holding her breath.
After hearing that their children had bugs in their brains, the family members panicked and frightened, and finally understood why the doctor had just asked them a series of questions about their children's eating, drinking and playing.
