Seriously, amoeba not only causes meningoencephalitis, but also causes other diseases such as amoebic dysentery, amoebic colitis, liver abscess and other diseases by invading other organs of the human body.
It was singled out and emphasized as a brain-eating worm, mainly because once it is confirmed that it causes meningoencephalitis, the golden window for treatment needs to be grasped. It is best to discover the drug within three days. More than three days is basically too late to save the patient, and the fatality rate is too high.
Besides, amoeba is not the only parasite that can enter the human brain and cause disease. In fact, there are very few cases of brain-eating worms in the world, so every time a case occurs, reporters like to make it big news and scare people half to death.
What Mi Siran meant was that if it was really meningoencephalitis caused by amoeba, it would be too late to treat it given the medical history, and the child would be 99% likely to die. There is no use joining in the fun of pediatric surgery, just go back to your pediatrician.
"So I said, don't make random guesses about Senior Sister Xie's thoughts. It can't be a brain-eating worm." Fan Yunyun insisted not to be outdone. If it was a brain-eating worm, no one else needed to tell her, Senior Sister Xie would let her and Fan Yunyun go away first.
Because the brain-eating worm itself cannot be cured by surgery, Senior Sister Xie will 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 were debating who was right and who was wrong.
The CT report came out, and the nurse asked people to go to the CT room to get the report sheet and printed films.
After getting the film, the doctor hung it on the light board in the office.
The family members did not leave but followed the doctor and stood in front of the light board to watch the child's film. The doctor can return this film to the patient and family members after using it, so it is not something that cannot be shown to family members. Family members who have not studied medicine will definitely not understand and ask the doctor: "How is my child?"
There are abnormal small white dots and white lines in the brain tissue.
It seems that the child may have a parasitic disease. A group of junior brothers and sisters who were watching were the first to exclaim inwardly, because Senior Sister Xie's guess from the beginning was right.
"Look, Senior Sister Xie and I are not brain-eating insects, right?" Fan Yunyun said proudly to her opponent immediately.
The CT manifestations of brain-eating worms are not like this. There will be horrific diffuse and dense brain damage areas. This condition looks more like other parasitic encephalopathies.
"Maybe it's neurocysticercosis." Misran changed his mind.
Neurocysticercosis is mainly a parasitic disease caused by the cysticerci that develop into the pork tapeworm and enter the brain. What's better than the brain-eating worm is that it is almost never seen reproducing in the human brain. Therefore, most of the brain symptoms are just symptoms of local inflammation caused by the worms themselves compressing the brain tissue, or symptoms of hydrocephalus caused by part of the worms blocking the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. Compared with the generalized meningitis caused by brain-eating worms, it is much milder and more effective. Perform neurosurgery to remove the worms.
"I advise you not to jump to conclusions early." Fan Yunyun, who had already won once, told the other party.
Mi Siran never believed that he was wrong. Medicine should be discussed actively. He was not afraid of being criticized by Senior Sister Xie when he speculated that he 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 face bulged, her cheeks bulging, and she was holding back her breath.
After hearing that there was a bug in their child's brain, the family members were panicked and frightened, and finally understood that the doctor had just asked them a series of things about their child's eating, drinking and playing.
