The soldier who came back from Jiahe city to deliver the letter also suffered from cold and heat, but the family he came into contact with was not infected. On the contrary, there are patients in various medical schools. Some are infected by both people in a family, some are infected by maidservants serving, and some people close to them do not get sick, but their neighbors who have no contact get sick
And Mrs. Gongsun, who is the soldier''s aunt. On the day he returned from delivering the letter, Xiaobing went to Gongsun''s house to meet his aunt and spoke for a while. As a result, Mrs. Gongsun fell ill. But the rest of Gongsun''s family were safe
It seems chaotic, but Zhuo Xi already knows that this must be an infectious disease. The basic early symptoms are headache, fever, cold and heat, sweating, hepatosplenomegaly in the middle stage, weakness in the whole body and death in the later stage. But before death, some people make ink urine, others don''t... So the most terrible thing is that they don''t know what symptoms appear, and they will face death in the later stage
It seems that the route of infection may be contact infection, but it may not be contact infection. None of the doctors in the library is infected.
What kind of infectious disease is it
She placed the patient and asked someone to bring the sick soldier over for questioning.
When the soldier was carried over, his cheeks were deep and his face was bloodless. But people are still sober, talking and grinding their teeth, and their expression is relatively clear.
Jing Yuan took Zhuo Xi to a chair far away and asked in a deep voice, "young brother, do you know that after you came back from Jiahe City, two or three out of ten of the 80000 soldiers of the southern expedition also contracted the same disease as you?"
The soldier struggled to get up and was held down by the people on the side, "why, how, will this happen?"
Jing Yuan Wen said, "so we are looking for a cure. You tell us everything you know. "
The soldier nodded, "small, you must know everything."
Zhuo Xi asked, "little brother, before you set out, what were the symptoms of the sick people in the army? What was wrong with you? "
"At first, the people who got sick in the army just had a headache and fever, and sometimes got cold. The military doctors said that they were acclimatized. They occasionally caught cold and heat, and just used a few doses of medicine, so everyone didn''t care. But a few days later, the number of people infected increased, and the soup and medicine had little effect, so someone panicked. The little one was completely fine before he set out, so he sent the little one out to deliver the letter. "
"When did you feel uncomfortable?"
"It''s nothing to rush all the way. After completing the task, the whole body relaxed and began to heat up. "
Zhuo Xi asked again, "how many days did you walk on the road?"
"Seven days." It seems that the disease has an incubation period, which can last up to seven days. Yuanzisang is located in the southeast of Wuliang. Jiahe city is the north of yuanzisang. It can directly reach Kyoto all the way west. Xiaobing suddenly realized something and said in fear, "did Xiaobing catch the disease in Kyoto? Little damn, little damn! "
Zhuo Xi comforted him, "don''t panic. I don''t think you did it on purpose. Think carefully and tell me about your daily life in Jiahe city. "
The soldier wiped his tears and said, "I was originally a scout from Liangzhou. I entered Zisang with the king all the way and occupied the thirteen cities with joy. When I was stationed in Jiahe City, I had accumulated 46 military achievements. I wanted to give a reward to the families in the suburban village of Beijing when I returned to Beijing to make them happy... Unexpectedly... "
Jing Yuan coughed, "this disease is threatening. You''d better tell the situation in Jiahe city. Your 80000 brothers are still suffering..."
"Little shit. When I first arrived in Jiahe City, the weather was damp and stuffy. It was a little uncomfortable. But I soon got used to it. There are dense forests and often rain. We are stationed in the mountains and forests outside the city. We have to turn over and dry our bedding every time there is sun... "
Zhuo Xi''s spirit flashed, "you said you were stationed in the mountains and forests? Why not be stationed in an open area? "
80000 people, you can''t live in the city.
"To the East and north of Jiahe city is the Jiahe mountains, and over the mountains is the tengju territory. Jiahe mountains are long and wooded. There are swamps and wetlands in the forest from time to time. We don''t dare to get close to them. We only choose the open space with slightly flat terrain next to the river to station... "
Swamp! Zhuo Xi jumped up, "what''s the area of the swamp?"
The soldier thought for a moment and replied, "the forest is wet, and I don''t dare to come near, but another brother has explored it. The swamp and wetland stretch for at least ten miles."
Swamp, wetland, hot weather... Zhuo Xi was excited and held Jing Yuan''s hand, "it''s malaria, it must be malaria! Where mosquitoes fly? " The malignant terminal symptom of malaria is black blood urine! Therefore, wherever patients go, some people are infected, and some have not been contacted are also infected, not whether they are contacted, but mosquito bites!
The soldier was also excited. "Yes, as soon as we got there, we were bitten all over. Later, the military doctor found hay and smoked mosquitoes, which was better! But we often practice in the woods, and we have to be bitten to get a big bag on our face! "
The old doctor who had been listening asked, "excuse me for being stupid. I don''t know what kind of disease this malaria is?"
Zhuo Xi patted his forehead. They didn''t understand malaria at this time, "it''s miasma! It is spread by mosquito bites! "
She thought the doctors in front of her would look relieved, but she saw that they were more decadent. Wu Yizheng, in particular, stepped back and murmured, "it''s miasma! How could it be miasma? "
Hong Quan also said, "Mom... No, madam, the miasma has always been irresolvable... You can only add or subtract it with Huangqin Chaihu Decoction, and you''re resigned to fate..."
When the soldier heard this, he fell on the board and burst into tears.
Jing Yuan also has an iron face.
Zhuo Xi said confidently, "no, I have a prescription. I don''t say it must be cured, but nine times out of ten it can be cured. "
Jing Yuan''s spirit perked up. "Madam, are you serious?"
Zhuo Xi smiled and called chunnuan in a loud voice, "bring pen and ink!"
The spring ink and thin pen were held excitedly.
Zhuo Xi wrote a prescription with ink and handed it to the old doctor, "immediately grab the medicine and fry it for the little brother. Three stickers should be effective."
The soldier immediately got up, knelt on the board, kowtowed and said in tears, "thank you, madam! Little thank you for the 80000 brothers, madam! "
The old doctor asked suspiciously after reading the prescription, "madam, other drugs are not a problem. I don''t know what this Artemisia annua is?"
They were just elated, and their mood was like a basin of cold water.
Zhuo Xi was surprised, "you don''t have Artemisia?" Tu Youyou, the only Nobel Prize winner in China, has made great contributions to China''s medical cause by refining artemisinin. Where do you know that no one has found Artemisia annua in this era? This is the most critical drug for the treatment of malaria
The doctors shook their heads
The atmosphere of the room quieted down.
Dr. Hong said, "madam, don''t worry. We both know the disease and the prescription, but without this medicine, we''ll let someone find it immediately. I wonder what this medicine looks like? Have you seen her, madam? Do you remember how big it is? "
Hope immediately rose in everyone''s eyes.
Zhuo Xi tried her best to think about the fresh picking of Artemisia annua and found that she had not really seen Artemisia annua... She had to draw a pattern according to her impression and let people look everywhere
When Yu Meng saw it, he was also very attentive and asked him to look for it
Jing Yuan returned to Ning''an palace with a heavy Zhuo Xi on her face and comforted her in turn, "now the prescription has been made, but no one knows about this herbal medicine. It''s already a great joy. You can wait at ease. Don''t be too depressed when they come to you... "
After this day, Zhuo Xi began to taste herbs. People send similar herbs every day. Zhuo Xi can only taste everything because she can''t confirm it, trying to find out the familiar taste in her memory.
They sent some suspected samples to the rejuvenation hall and asked them to add them to the prescription, but in vain
The next day, the patient with black blood urine died... The fear of the disease in Kyoto began to spread... But some people said that the disease was spread through mosquito bites, so they took a headscarf and a towel to wrap the skin all over their body so that mosquitoes could not bite.
On the third day, Yu Meng also brought some herbs, "sister, I went back to the verdant mountain. I used to go there by the swamp. It seems that there are several herbs that are very similar to your drawing, so I picked some. Which one do you think? "
Zhuo Xi looked. They were very similar. She asked someone to wash them and came in. She was about to take off a piece and put it in her mouth, but Jing Yuan rushed in and photographed the leaves in her hand“ Xi''er! "
Zhuo Xi looked at him in surprise, "what''s the matter?"
"These herbs were collected by the poisonous marsh. What if they were poisonous? You still have a baby in your stomach! "
Yu Meng was also in a cold sweat, "sister, the king said yes. You''d better be careful not to hurt yourself. "
Zhuo Xi smiled, "it''s not easy to know whether it''s poisonous or not. Go and call Xiaobai."
Yu Meng suddenly realized that he hurried to Xiaobai''s residence to find it.
Jing Yuan hugged her and sighed, "Xi''er, you are really my lucky star. No, you are my lucky star..."
Zhuo Xi thought, "I have a hunch that the herbs Xiao Meng found this time are likely to have Artemisia annua. It is said that one thing falls to another. Although there is only a small piece of poison marsh in the verdant mountain, there is no sunshine all year round. There will be a slight miasma. Where there is miasma, there may be its nemesis... "The more she said, the more excited she was, the more reasonable she thought.
Yu Meng soon brought Xiaobai in. Zhuo Xi asked Xiaobai to smell the herbs and only shook his head.
Zhuo Xi put her heart down, tasted these kinds carefully, picked out the two tastes that were very similar, and sent them to the rejuvenation hall to be used as medicine respectively.
The next day, good news came, saying that the medicine with thin leaves had an effect. Jing Yuan was overjoyed and asked Yu Meng to take people to pick a large number of plants at the edge of the green mountain swamp. All the patients in Kyoto were isolated in huichuntang, and it was widely told that if anyone found similar symptoms, they all went to huichuntang for treatment.
After another day''s observation, it was confirmed that the fine leaf plant was indeed effective. Jing Yuan sent people 800 Li to Jiahe city and asked the local military doctor to find the Artemisia annua for medicine. They also sent a large package to the Gelao people and wrote a letter saying that if these were not enough, they would find a way to look for it in the mountains, forests and swamps
In just a few days, huichuntang was overcrowded. Because of the uncontrollability of mosquitoes and some people''s different physical conditions, the incubation period was not found until the attack. When they were isolated, they had played the role of the source of infection for two days. Therefore, there was an endless stream of infected people. But fortunately, with the prescription, there was no death
Another official from Shuntian Prefecture in Kyoto said that since the transmission route is through mosquitoes, while preventing mosquito bites, they can also find ways to kill mosquitoes... So they set off a campaign to kill mosquitoes and insects
Later, the weather gradually cooled down, and there were fewer mosquitoes, so it gradually subsided.
