60-year-old Lao Deng, who has had an unexplained cough and fever for half a month, has been using a lot of antibiotics, but his symptoms have not improved, and worse, Lao Deng still has weight loss and night sweats.
After Lao Deng came to the hospital, he asked the doctor bluntly, doctor, I'm not lung cancer, right?
The doctor advised him not to be too nervous, what is the disease, just do a CT scan of the lungs.
Lao Deng accepted the doctor's advice and did a lung CT, and the results showed that Lao Deng was likely to suffer from tuberculosis, but in order to be finally clear, it was also necessary to carry out an examination of sputum, and if acid-fast bacilli were found in the sputum, it could be diagnosed.
During the hospitalization, the doctor conducted a more comprehensive examination of Lao Deng, and this examination unexpectedly found a big problem hidden in Lao Deng's blood.
The laboratory department called and told the doctor in charge that the 29th bed was positive for HIV, and the 60-year-old old Deng who lived in the 29th bed was unbelievable, and the doctor was in disbelief, and Lao Deng himself and his family were also in disbelief.
Lao Deng said, how can I be infected with AIDS at such an old age?
The doctor said, don't get too excited, this is just a preliminary screening, in order to further diagnose it, you need to draw another tube of blood and send it to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
A few days later, the results of the follow-up test sent to the CDC also came back, and the HIV test was still positive.
Lao Deng was diagnosed with HIV.
Doctors say that AIDS, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a systemic disease caused by the body's infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), also known as HIV. HIV infection can lead to varying degrees of immune deficiency in the human body, and when immunity is weakened, the lungs are easily attacked by various pathogenic microorganisms, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Therefore, the main reason why Lao Deng suffered from tuberculosis was actually caused by AIDS.
But the question is, if young people are infected with AIDS, this is easy to understand, but they are all 60 years old, why are they still infected?
After Lao Deng was diagnosed with AIDS, Lao Deng's children were very worried and hurriedly went to the hospital for examination, but the test results were all positive.
The doctor reassured them that your father could not have been infected when he was young, and if he had been infected at a young age, it would not have been possible to become ill until now.
Further questioning of the doctor learned that Lao Deng's wife died as early as ten years ago, and in these ten years, Lao Deng has changed four wives.
Doctors speculate that the reason why Lao Deng is infected with AIDS is likely to be related to his frequent change of wife and high-risk sexual behaviors, and young people are susceptible to AIDS because their sex life is more active, but the elderly are infected with AIDS, but everyone does not understand.
In fact, the elderly also have physiological needs, if they do not get the right release, they will take risks, in recent years, a new trend of AIDS is that the incidence of AIDS in the elderly is getting higher and higher, and the emergence of a new army.
The elderly are often more hidden when they are infected with AIDS, because they are a group that is ignored by society, many elderly people do not even know what AIDS is, and some elderly people do not care even if they know, they feel that they will not live for a few years anyway, so they simply break the jar and break it, and some elderly people are infected but do not want to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and they delay again and again, which has become a huge hidden danger.
