My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 819 - 328: Every Mouse Has Its Own Path, The Truth F

He still insists on reading every day, making up for his foundational dical knowledge.

This can’t be rushed, only accumulated over ti.

Why else do older doctors beco more valuable? Because so doctors truly learn as long as they live. With broad knowledge and rich experience, their diagnostic efficiency is indeed much higher than that of younger doctors.

The chances of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are also much lower.

"White blood cells and platelets are decreasing, and there’s also proteinuria. Now the AST is alarmingly high, could it be poisoning?"

This is a possibility.

Because similar symptoms have started to appear in the little girl’s grandmother.

It’s really possible that the grandmother and granddaughter ate toxic food and got poisoned.

At this mont, the door to the consultation room opened, and the nurse who admitted the patient peeked her head in.

"Dr. Zhou, I’ve asked about the matter you wanted to know. The old lady has woken up, and her symptoms have alleviated. She is worried about her granddaughter’s condition and wants to co over to see you."

It’s good that she has woken up.

"Please tell the old lady there’s no need to co over now, I’m currently diagnosing her granddaughter. Once the cause is found, I’ll go to see her."

Zhou Can is still sowhat concerned about what infectious disease the grandmother and granddaughter might have.

If it spreads, it would pose a serious threat to other patients and family mbers.

Moreover, the cause of the little girl’s illness hasn’t been determined yet; there’s no use in her coming over.

If it is indeed poisoning, then an infectious disease can be ruled out.

"If it’s not poisoning, then what could be the cause?" Zhou Can thought hard and his eyes suddenly lit up.

How could he have forgotten about this?

if it’s not food poisoning, there’s another possibility, which is a viral infection.

If either the grandmother or granddaughter contracts a viral infection, there’s a possibility it could be transmitted to the other.

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

No matter what, it’s always right to do so screening.

To determine if a viral infection is present, serological testing is a relatively efficient thod.

He imdiately wrote out a test requisition form to perform a serological test for the patient.

After handling this, he continued to see other patients.

At around four-thirty, he found so ti to check if Sun Ziya’s serological test results were out yet.

Fortunately, the results were already out.

Igm antibody and Igg antibody positive.

The increase in these two data points and the positive antibodies indicate that the patient may indeed be infected with so virus.

Generally, after a patient is infected with a pathogenic microorganism, the body produces specific antibodies against the pathogen, making IgM and IgG show positivity.

Zhou Can couldn’t help but feel excited, now it’s basically certain that the patient is highly likely to have a viral infection.

A common cold could be an influenza virus infection, which is a type of viral infection.

However, Zhou Can imdiately excluded the possibility of an influenza virus infection because the patient’s test data did not match those of the flu.

An increase in IgM can be seen in cases like Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia and primary biliary cholangitis.

A significant increase in IgG is common in autoimmune diseases.

If both show monoclonal elevation and other immune blood proteins significantly decrease, it is likely to be multiple myeloma.

Zhou Can adhered to his diagnostic direction, stubbornly believing that the patient was highly likely infected with a virus, and it was a rather rare one.

If it were a common viral infection, it would not be difficult for him and would have been diagnosed long ago.

"I’m afraid I’ll have to check the references!"

Unable to deduce which virus the patient was infected with, he decided to learn from the seniors. Didn’t Director Dai also carry a pediatric clinical handbook when he first started seeing patients, secretly flipping through it when encountering an unsolvable disease?

Now he faced an extrely difficult case, and there was nothing shaful about looking up references.

Thanks to the rapid developnt of smartphones and the internet, doctors no longer need to secretly bring thick dical books into the consultation room to look up information.

They can directly search for relevant information online using their phones.

However, for a lot of dical knowledge, flipping through so specialized dical classics is still quicker and more convenient.

After a round of searching, a rather rare disease na ca into view.

New Bunyavirus.

Patients infected with this virus will experience various uncomfortable symptoms, including fever and thrombocytopenia syndro.

"It must be this disease! If a pathogen test could be perford, the diagnostic results would be more precise."

Checking the ti, Zhou Can suppressed his eagerness to inform the patients of the diagnostic conclusion, and applied to the lab for pathogen testing. Actually, this is also a serum test. But this ti, it’s directly isolating the new Bunyavirus from the serum.
