American drama life begins with Dr. House

Chapter 36 Antibodies of the baby come from the mother

After Furman heard that House finally adopted Duwei's suggestion.

He always felt like there was a tight breath in his chest that would not go away.

He couldn't figure out why Du Wei suddenly shone like a comet.

It was obvious that Du Wei was just a little transparent before this.

There is no such thing as an epiphany in medicine.

All treatment experience is accumulated from generation to generation, and future generations stand on their shoulders to find clues from difficult and complicated diseases and further improve them.

This is why House often boldly experimented with drugs on patients in the past.

It must be eliminated one by one to find the most correct cause.

But this Du Wei pointed out the cause of the disease almost every time, and so far he has not made any mistakes.

This kind of performance is far better than Furman himself.

Furman looked gloomily at Duwei who went to collect the antibody reagents.

Although House said he would not fire him because of his special talents.

But everyone knows that before the day you are fired, your boss will always use all kinds of false lies to trick you into working hard.

After finding a replacement for you, your boss will find a way to let you resign on your own initiative.

At this moment, the sense of crisis in Furman's heart has never been so urgent.

He must know the true origin of Du Wei!

He had reason to suspect that there might be a medical team guiding Du Wei behind him!

Maybe Du Wei came to the Princeton Affiliated Hospital for another purpose!

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why such a young intern could diagnose the condition so accurately every time.

Tonight, he wanted to see who Du Wei would come into contact with!

It would be best to take photos of evidence of his collusion with other medical teams and have the dean kick him out.

Only in this way can Furman's position be stable!

Soon, after Du Wei received enough antibody reagents, the four people immediately became busy in the laboratory.

During the race against death, the four of them had no intention of communicating.

Even Furman, who had always been targeting Duwei, was too lazy to beep when House made a decision after he had a plan.

About an hour later, the glass door of the laboratory was pushed open.

The visitor was none other than House, who had returned from the outpatient clinic.

He came to ask about the results.

"How's it going? Is there any result?"

Du Wei looked at the computer screen and said:

"The healthy baby tested positive for two of the eight possible viruses.

They are Echo type 11 virus and cytomegalovirus.

Only cytomegalovirus antibodies were detected in the blood of the mothers of the eight sick infants.

At the same time, the aunt’s blood test also tested positive for Eco-11 virus.”

After hearing the results reported by Duwei, House's face immediately showed joy.

As Du Wei said before, before the baby is six months old, all antibodies come from the mother.

If the mother does not have antibodies to the corresponding virus, the baby will naturally become infected when encountering the virus.

Enteroviruses like Ecotype 11 generally live in the intestines of adults and can cause diarrhea and cold-like symptoms or rashes in adults.

These symptoms are not serious for adults because it does not cause death in adults.

So this is also the reason why no one thought about viruses when the brainstorming started.

But they forget that many viruses that are not fatal to adults are very lethal to fragile newborns!

Fortunately, the current blood test results prove that Du Wei’s previous diagnosis was correct!

This is not a bacterial infection, this is a viral infection!

It is equivalent to saying that under Du Wei's suggestion, they avoided the possibility of using babies to test the medicine.

House, who looked as calm as water on the surface, finally let go of his hanging heart.

Now that the cause is known, the illness of babies is not scary at all.

He took a breath, patted Du Wei on the shoulder in front of everyone and invited:

"Well done, Duwei!

It looks like everyone has to work overtime for a while today.

As compensation for working overtime today, let’s go out to have a meal together later.”

Hearing House say he wanted to treat, Chase immediately whistled and agreed:

"Okay, let's go to the Elements Restaurant at No. 163 Bayard. The seafood there is amazing."

House glanced at the excited Chase.

Eating French food? I'm afraid this guy wants to make a fortune for himself.

He shook his head and didn't care, then pointed at Du Wei:

“There is currently no stable and effective drug on the market against the Echo 11 virus.

But there is a new drug in Pennsylvania that has just been undergoing EAP clinical trials, and it is very effective.

But we must first get their parents to agree to our approach before we can use the medicine.

Then, Du Wei, the communication in between will be left to you.

After the baby's condition is stable, let's go have dinner together."

Du Wei nodded, left the laboratory, and went to the obstetrics department to gather the parents of the sick babies and explain the causes and consequences.

“…Because viral infections are more difficult to treat than bacterial infections, there is currently no particularly effective treatment.

But a company in Pennsylvania has developed an antiviral drug, and experimental results show that it has good effects.

And we have already obtained this medicine, and as long as you agree, we can give it to babies immediately."

Du Wei paused for a moment before being chased by nervous parents asking:

"Does this new medicine have side effects? Will children feel uncomfortable using it?"

"Is there no other way? Can you change to a safer approach?"

"Can this medicine really cure my daughter? Doctor, please tell us directly?"

Looking at the parents who were worried about their children's lives and health, Du Wei patiently waited for them to finish their demands before speaking:

"Please listen to me first. Because all the organs of babies are immature, their resistance is inherently weaker than that of adults.

Echo type 11 virus is even more lethal to babies. It can directly damage the baby's heart very quickly.

It only takes about 24 hours for a baby to die, which means every second we delay here, your baby will be one step closer to death.

I know you are worried about side effects, but the side effects of new drugs that have reached EAP clinical trials can be said to be the same as the cold medicines you use when you have a cold.

So its side effects are completely negligible.

Unless you plan to not use any medication for the rest of your life, there will indeed be no side effects.

Not only will there be no side effects, but there will also be no children.”

After hearing Du Wei's threatening words, several parents turned pale with fright.

He directly signed the consent form and gave it to Du Wei.

No matter what side effects there are, it is better than death.

Someone took the lead, and other parents immediately signed the consent form without hesitation.

With parental authorization, Duwei could administer medication to the eight babies in the intensive care unit.

What follows is a long period of observation.
