The two seafood markets that many people remember in 2020 prove the above once again.
Today's protagonist is a 20-year-old young man, or call him Xiao Li, talking about Xiao Li, I have to say that his hometown, the depths of the mountains in the south, beautiful scenery, picturesque scenery.
Xiao Li began to work with his father after the age of 16, and after the epidemic situation improved slightly, Xiao Li followed his father to work with us.
This morning, Xiao Li, who was working, suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, clenching his teeth, and twitching his limbs, and the workers rushed to the emergency department, the condition was not complicated, and the diagnosis of "state epilepticus" was diagnosed.
Epilepsy is a medical academic term, also known as "sheep horn wind, sheep epilepsy". Normal brain will have systemic electrical activity, that is, often said brain waves, through these normal brain electrical activities, the brain completes its control work, and when the brain appears after some diseases, normal brain electrical activity will be affected, abnormal abnormal brain electrical activity, it will lead to abnormal brain work, epilepsy appeared. However, seizures that last longer than 5 minutes or are followed by medication become status epilepticus.
For such a situation, the first treatment is to control seizures, medication control, and drugs that control epilepsy, similar to and "stable", have a sedative hypnotic effect, in order to control epilepsy, these drugs may be large, large will affect breathing, heartbeat, etc. In order to control Xiao Li's epilepsy as soon as possible while ensuring his safety, Xiao Li was sent to the iCU.
Xiao Li's case did not attract too much attention from me, of course, it is often not a good thing to attract the attention of dr. ICU, because his condition is not heavy or complicated in these patients in me, and it is not necessary to control it and find out the cause.
In the communication with Xiao Li and his father, I did not get much useful information, there was no such phenomenon before, usually the body is also very healthy, and the only deep impression is that he is not a local, because Xiao Li and his father talk to the accent, I can't understand, and this matter also flashed in my mind, like leaving something and not catching.
Use drugs to control epilepsy and monitor vital signs. Do a ct first, then book a MRI, I thought. CT has an advantage, that is, fast, on-the-go, some urgent problems that need to be dealt with can also be found, like Xiao Li's epilepsy is not fully controlled, suitable for doing. The reason for the appointment of magnetic resonance is that magnetic resonance can find some reasons that CT cannot find, but because the time of magnetic resonance examination is longer, in these times of appointment waiting, just look at whether Xiao Li's epilepsy can be controlled, can be controlled, in order to do it, and strive to clarify the cause as soon as possible.
The results of ct did not find diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage that need to be urgently treated, but there was a thing found on Xiao Li's frontal lobe, and there were several parts of the human brain, including the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, cerebellum, brainstem, etc. The frontal lobe is the part near the forehead, which is generally related to the human spirit and personality. What is this thing in the frontal lobe, the tumor? Vascular malformations? It seems that the appointment of MRI needs to be added to an enhanced scan too.
Mr. Mr. Li was scheduled to make an appointment on the second day, and after a day of drug treatment, Xiao Li's epileptic symptoms were basically controlled, there was no convulsive performance again, the MRI examination was successfully completed, and after seeing the results, I instantly sweated, thinking of the thing that flashed in my mind, "He has bugs in his head."
"Does anyone in your place have parasitic diseases?" I asked.
"No, I haven't heard of it," Xiao Li and his father replied a little less sure.
"Then do you eat raw food and drink raw water in that place?" I continued to ask.
"Yes, some people will eat raw pig blood, raw meat and the like, but our family does not eat much; if there is water, it is all spring water on the mountain, and it is directly drunk." Xiao Li's father replied.
"Then you've eaten pig blood and raw meat?" I came back and asked Xiao Li.
"I have eaten, in the past few years, when I go home for the New Year, with my friends, I will eat," this is Xiao Li's reply.
Pig blood, raw meat, eat directly?? I was a little speechless to think about how heavy this taste was.
Well, here it comes, combined with the results of the magnetic resonance examination, combined with his living area, and eating habits, it is basically possible to determine the brain parasitic disease, and the next step needs to determine what type of bug it is, and then treat it.
Cerebral parasitic disease, the most common is cerebral cysticercosis, which is often referred to as pork tapeworm, this parasite will infect the human body through two ways, one is an adult infection, the other is a larval infection.
Adult infection is to eat uncooked pork containing pork tapeworm, that is, "rice pork", in this case, the general tapeworm will grow in the intestine, that is, intestinal parasitic disease.
Larval infection, that is, eating water or food contaminated by live eggs, insect eggs into the human digestive system, the shell of the gastroduodenal eggs will be digested, the larvae come out through the intestinal wall into the human blood circulation system or lymphatic circulation system, and then with the blood or lymphatic circulation into various parts of the human body, the most common is the brain, eyes, subcutaneous tissue.
It is very likely that Xiao Li ate live worm eggs when eating these raw things, and then the larvae came out in his duodenum, and finally drilled into the brain step by step, forming a brain parasitic disease. The parasites that enter the brain will cause the body's immune system to react, eventually leading to edema, inflammation and other problems, resulting in abnormal human brain electrical activity, which will show symptoms such as epilepsy. In general, it takes 2-5 years from the time the eggs are eaten to the time neurologic symptoms develop.
Because of the problem of medical insurance, after determining the disease situation, Xiao Li also asked to return to their local area for treatment, or good, because we really have not seen such a disease, and there is still some gap in treatment methods and experience.
I still want to say two words, think back to sarcasm in 2002 and this year's new crown, more or less related to eating a lot, this has so many lessons, how can it still be eaten so raw??
In the progress of human civilization, fire has played a very big role, is this to return to the primitive?
