Zombie disease!

The doubts that had been a little uneasy in Buck's mind suddenly melted into it when he saw these dogs!

When I was training as a medical officer at a NATO military base, I had learned relevant information in the assessment, but because I was mainly active in the high-latitude subarctic region of Eastern Europe, NATO probably did not plan to cultivate any all-round talents, as long as I could use them, so there was no actual witness to this special disease that generally occurred in tropical and subtropical regions!

At that time, the short duty in Iraq may have been close to this area, but Baghdad is an internationally famous city, no matter how chaotic it is, the medical system and power system are still barely guaranteed, and no rebel group has fully controlled Baghdad, and if there are corpses on the streets, they will be quickly cleaned up.

That's right, it's the corpse!

The IS army likes to behead, likes to kill people and demonstrate in the streets, and it is a typical tube to kill and bury, even if their comrades die, they are poured gasoline on a fire, too lazy to dig a pit and bury, such a practice will bring plague epidemics in the cold zone, the Black Death in Europe can almost take half of the lives of people, in the warmer tropical Middle East, it is like leftovers on a hot day are more likely to rot and spoil, not to mention the human body!

There are a myriad of virulent infectious diseases that can thrive in this state.

And the situation that Buck saw was just like the zombies in those film and television dramas, after the rotting human body was eaten by dogs, it was possible to produce a kind of carnivorous worm, and then transmitted to humans through dogs, a zoonotic disease with a very high contagion rate!

One of the points that Buck still remembers so far is that the infected person feels very tired by the afternoon, accompanied by intense chills and headaches, but is completely conscious.

The phone call that was dialed immediately asked Xiang Wan to quickly contact the relevant people, and the girl actually said: "If Uncle Zhou is still here, how convenient it would be." ”

There is no need for Zhou Shanfu, just with Buck's title that is still hanging in the Military Medical University, just Lao Fan of the Yuqing Local Bureau called over, and found an expert to immediately connect with Xiang Wan and join the conversation with Buck, who was very surprised: "Leishmaniasis? Where did you find this virus? You must immediately isolate all people in the epidemic area, this is basically a chronic and mortal disease!"

Buck didn't need the other party to teach him, he just wanted to confirm: "You don't care where you are, what other methods can be used to test and diagnose this disease?" At this time, he only blamed himself for not taking his studies seriously, and he slipped his head and avoided the non-test point, and the result was ......

The expert is 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 in the past!"

Xiang Wandu helplessly explained two sentences: "He is on a mission abroad......"

The expert is unreliable: "The first is fever, uninterrupted and irregular fever several times a day, as long as you can measure the patient's body temperature, and then the puncture test, iliac, spleen, lymph node puncture can do, and then do a blood test!"

Buck wanted to roll his eyes: "The medical conditions here are limited, I can't even get close to the patients, I can only look at them from a distance, and I don't have any equipment, I only see dogs, a large number of corpses in the open air, people who have started to have a fever and fatigue in the afternoon, can you tell if it is possible that this is the disease, or if there are other diseases?"

The expert is habitually rigorous: "It is very possible, but not 100 percent...... There don't seem to be any other illnesses, minibus, can you tell me what area you are in, Africa, Asia, or where. ”

Buck hesitated: "Syria." The cities of central Syria have completely lost their public health care system and are almost paralyzed under the social order. ”

The expert was immediately surprised: "Syria? Yes, there was a small outbreak of the leishmaniasis there, but it was decades ago, and we had people who went there to participate in the treatment, mainly the Soviet experts at that time...... Wait a minute, I'll call someone to ask again and give you an answer!"

The reply is very fast, it is really a matter of phone call, this specific attack in the tropical and subtropical areas around the Mediterranean Sea carrion fleshworm disease is particularly harmful, as long as you are hit, most of them will not escape the call of death within two years, but because it is only an intermittent fever, not an immediate death, so the camouflage of the uninformed people is particularly strong, as long as there are local doctors, such a problem can be eliminated in the early detection, but the IS army, which kills everything and does not pay attention to science, has created such a death zone!

Through the touch of the patient or wild dogs, as well as the bite of the worm parasitic on the dog's body, it will quickly spread this chronic infectious disease with a mortality rate of up to 80%, in addition to fever, there is also a surface feature that the face will be flushed, and the severe ones are close to ulceration, just like the zombies in the zombie film!

If you can get your hands on it, it's very simple, reach out and touch it, and the spleen of any patient infected with leishmania will definitely enlarge, and most of these characteristics can be diagnosed without laboratory testing.

didn't bother to tell the experts to sign the confidentiality agreement, Xiang Wandu was uneasy: "You...... Come back, right?"

Buck believes in science: "Then it is all the more necessary for me to stay and see, once such a virus spreads out of these areas, the consequences are very serious." ”

Experts also disagreed with the mood of this female comrade: "As a professional, we must have the spirit of scientific research to face difficulties, and the minibus represents the traditional spirit of our college, which Lao Zhou has always emphasized, this disease is not transmitted by air and body fluids, but has pathogenic insects, as long as you pay attention to prevent contact, you can ensure that you can avoid infection......

Well, Buck asked about a few medications, and then for the medical kit he was carrying, he found that all he could use was disinfectant: "I try to approach the patient at night to see if there is a similar situation. ”

Even Lao Bai called Buck to make a programmatic leadership speech after hearing the news: "Fortunately, you are a compound talent and understand medical treatment, otherwise other comrades will have an accident unknowingly, you must be careful, we look forward to your good news!"

It's a bit of a blessing indeed.

So Buck spent the rest of the day focusing on where the locals, who didn't look right, were heading.

And until nightfall, Buck widely observed from his limited perspective that there were dozens of people who were unable to lean against the eaves of the wall, until the sun went down and the temperature dropped, and they stood up one after another, and there seemed to be someone in the middle who was taking some kind of potion, which was probably the local indigenous remedies, and it must have been used to treat fever.

This is a standard palliative rather than a cure.

Simply ate two more compression energy pills, reorganized his backpack, left most of his belongings in the bag, carried it to an inconspicuous corner on the second floor and hid it, put on medical gloves, wrapped his head in an Arab scarf and only had a pair of eyes on Buck, wearing the local clothes that he peeled off the suffocating corpse yesterday, and with the help of the last bit of sunset, he crossed the ring road and walked into the city!

In the face of the ultra-high mortality rate of infectious diseases and the vicious IS army terrorists, Tai calmly walked in!

Anyway, he's really bold enough!
