Original title: cursed? Shenzhen man repeatedly hospitalized 8 times after touching the unearthed cultural relics
Such an epitaph
Later, someone really broke into the tomb and hung up. This spell became more and more strange & hellip& hellip;
Recently, this spell seems to be 'powerful' again. Lao Li (a pseudonym) in Shenzhen was recruited. Lao Li is an antique lover. He often goes with his friends to appreciate unearthed cultural relics. A year ago, Lao Li began to suffer from cough, fever, chest pain and other symptoms, which remained incurable for a long time. He was repeatedly hospitalized seven times, which made him puzzled. Is there really a 'curse'?
A year ago, when Lao Li began to cough intermittently, he thought it was a cold and didn't care.
However, next, not only cough more and more frequently, but also accompanied by fever and chills. When I got up and moved, I felt a dull pain in my right chest.
Lao Li realized that the situation was serious and hurried to the hospital for examination. Chest CT showed left upper and right middle lung infection, but the specific cause could not be found.
The doctor treated him with conventional drugs for lung infection and controlled his condition.
Unexpectedly, half a month after discharge, Lao Li's condition worsened again and was hospitalized again.
From March 2017 to February 2018, Lao Li was repeatedly hospitalized seven times in three top three hospitals in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, but he never found the cause of lung infection and cough symptoms did not improve.
In desperation, Lao Li can only continue to seek medical treatment.
In June 2018, Lao Li came to the respiratory department of Shenzhen People's Hospital for treatment. After communicating with the doctor, the microbiological laboratory personnel in the laboratory department suspected that it was caused by pathogenic bacteria.
Therefore, the staff collected samples of Lao Li's respiratory tract (alveolar lavage fluid, necrotic tissue in the middle of the right lung, sputum taken by fiberoptic bronchoscopy), stained smears, microscopic examination and isolation and culture.
Microscopic examination of specimen staining and smears is an important means to find pathogens (especially fastidious bacteria and rare bacteria). It is a pure manual operation and a test of technology.
After a carpet search in the small lens, the staff finally found an unusual trace in the gram stained smear!
Filamentous mycelial mass like winding wool mass, with morphological characteristics of suspected actinomycetes ▽
Microscopic examination of Actinomycetes
In order to confirm, the technicians isolated and cultured the pathogenic bacteria, and finally identified them as caries actinomycetes by pathogenic microorganism mass spectrometer!
But! Yes!
This should start with the characteristics of actinomycetes.
Actinomycetes widely exist in soil and animal microbiota. Some species are symbiotic bacteria of human and livestock skin, oral cavity, intestinal tract and vaginal flora. The mud smell of soil is actually the smell of metabolites of actinomycetes.
A few categories of actinomycetes can cause animal and plant infections. Lao Li encountered such 'criminals'.
Once this kind of actinomycetes break through the mucosal barrier and establish infection, the body will start a strong inflammatory response, such as cough, fever, chest tightness and so on.
Lao Li was repeatedly hospitalized within a year, but he could not find the real culprit, which was mainly caused by the 'secrecy' of actinomycetes--
In addition, actinomycetes like to grow in low water content, rich organic matter and slightly alkaline soil.
The doctor speculated that the reason for Lao Li's infection is probably due to his contact with newly unearthed cultural relics. These cultural relics have been buried in the soil for a long time and are very easy to carry a large number of actinomycetes. When in contact, they will be inhaled through the respiratory tract, resulting in lung infection.
Therefore, it was not Pharaoh who was doing things, but the little friends who were underground with Pharaoh.
The doctor said that pulmonary actinosis mostly starts slowly. At the beginning, it has low fever, cough and coughing up a small amount of mucus sputum. With the progress of the disease, this symptom gradually worsens, including high fever, severe cough, and even coughing up a large amount of mucus purulent sputum with blood in the sputum, accompanied by symptoms such as limb weakness, night sweat, anemia and weight loss.
After clarifying the cause of Lao Li, the doctor gave antibiotics such as penicillin and metronidazole for treatment.
One month later, Lao Li's condition improved rapidly and he was discharged from the hospital. After discharge, he continued to take amoxicillin and metronidazole orally for three months, and his cough symptoms disappeared completely.
Mr. Li's lung CT showed that after symptomatic treatment, the focus of lung infection decreased significantly.
In fact, there are often many kinds of bacteria and viruses lurking in people, such as tuberculosis causing tuberculosis, and even Actinomycetes with their own 'Pharaoh curse'. When people have strong resistance, they will be safe and quiet.
However, once a person's body deteriorates, immunity decreases, or suddenly comes into contact with a high concentration of pathogenic substances, the human body's defense line will fall, and the disease will make waves.
Therefore, paying attention to hygiene and improving resistance is everyone's kingcraft!
