"High probability, high probability, do you understand..." the infectious disease doctor emphasized.

While he was speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Donger's mobile phone interface.

The other party was searching Xu Qiu's personal science account.

The infectious disease doctor's face darkened and he said, "Since you don't believe me, you can transfer me to another hospital."

Jiang Dong'er immediately put away her phone, recalled the content of Xu Qiu's popular science, and said: "Doctor, a positive Tsport means that you have been infected with tuberculosis or are currently infected; the same is true for a strong positive PPD, which can only mean that there are active tuberculosis bacilli in the body. Infection, but it cannot be confirmed that it is a combination...The gold standard is to find Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the body.”

"If you can't find it, it may be because you haven't collected the lesions or sputum containing tuberculosis bacteria. It really can't be completely diagnosed, so I recommend diagnostic treatment."

Jiang Donger was a little worried and said: "If we treat tuberculosis, its treatment plan is calculated in years. The first course of treatment will take at least half a year..."

She always had a bad feeling.

If it weren't for tuberculosis, the consequences of this half-year delay would have been even more serious.

The infectious disease doctor glanced at her and said angrily: "Since you think I'm not good enough, you can go to Xu Qiu and ask him to treat you."

He clicked the call button on the consultation interface.

After a while, a nurse came in and explained in a pleasant manner. Although the attitude and tone were already very humble, Jiang Donger's family could still see the subtext... The hospital regarded them as troublemakers.

Without embarrassing the nurse, Jiang Donger's family left the clinic and sat down in the waiting hall.

Mother Jiang said in disbelief: "Dong'er is so great, but he still knows about these two examinations?"

Father Jiang also showed a doting smile, but thinking that his daughter's condition was still unclear, his brows could not relax.

Jiang Donger thought for a moment and said, "I'm worried about lung cancer..."

"Nonsense!" Mother Jiang quickly covered her daughter's mouth, her fingers trembling with fear.

Jiang Donger fell silent.

She had seen relevant articles on Xu Qiu's popular science account.

There are several diseases that are very similar to tuberculosis.

The first is lung cancer.

Both lung cancer and tuberculosis can appear as masses on CT and are easily confused.

In addition, there are lobar pneumonia, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, etc...

There was a mass-like lesion in the upper lobe of her right lung. The infectious disease doctor gave a diagnosis of "probable tuberculosis", but no Mycobacterium tuberculosis was found in the body, which made Jiang Donger worried.

"How about we go find Dr. Xu?"

"Doctor Xu...Xu Qiu, that doctor on the news?" Mother Jiang remembered who this was.

Dad Jiang was a little skeptical: "Can such a young doctor really do it?"

Jiang Donger said seriously: "He is an academician!"

"Academician? Are you kidding? Academicians are all old men in their fifties and sixties. How can they be so young?"

Father Jiang was still thinking about whether to take his daughter abroad for medical treatment, but Jiang Donger handed over his mobile phone. On it were Xu Qiu's personal information and several recent news.

"Xu Qiu serves as the person in charge of the National Medical Forum and will establish a reporting center to thoroughly investigate and eliminate medical bugs..."

"The youngest academician was born today! Xu Qiu from Baiyun Province was unanimously elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after being reviewed by the academician conference!"

"Victorious at the Medical World Championships, Xu Qiu scored in the top ten!"

Each piece of these news was more shocking than the last. Father Jiang was almost stunned when he saw it.

But he frowned: "Why are we only in the top ten? Our country's academicians can actually be in the top ten. How can we still be this bad..."

Jiang Dong'er shook his index finger: "It's not just one of the top ten, the top ten are all his. He has developed ten scientific research achievements by himself, and he has won the top ten!"

Father Jiang was a little surprised and said, "In that case, let's go to the doctor..."

A few days later.

Jiang Dong'er looked at the ajar door, and Xu Qiu's gentle voice came from inside the door from time to time.

Her chaotic mood suddenly calmed down.

Near eleven o'clock, her number was finally called.

When sitting in the consulting room and meeting the doctor face to face, Jiang Donger suddenly felt like her idol was coming to reality.

"Jiang Dong'er? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xu Qiu saw the emotion in Jiang Dong'er's eyes, but he had long been used to it.

"Doctor Xu, I sneezed four days ago and suddenly felt a pain in my chest. I went to the local people's hospital for examination and was transferred to the Department of Infectious Diseases. They suspected that I had tuberculosis..." Although Jiang Dong'er's words were not very professional, she got the key points right. It's all explained without any nonsense.

Xu Qiu nodded calmly: "Do you suspect there is something wrong with the diagnosis?"

If it is just tuberculosis, it can be treated at any hospital. Treatment plans all over the world are based on clinical guidelines. There is no difference between Xiehe and community hospitals. In addition, contagious tuberculosis is treated free of charge, and it enjoys similar treatment as AIDS.

The reason why I came to him specifically was not as simple as tuberculosis.

"Yes..." Jiang Dong'er nodded.

Dad Jiang on the side said: "Doctor, the two tests my daughter took, Tsport and PPD were both positive, but no tubercle bacilli were found in the body!"

I see……

Xu Qiu continued to ask: "Have you had a cough in the past few months?"

"Yes, I cough occasionally."

"Coughing up phlegm?"

"There is no phlegm. Sometimes it hurts when you cough hard." Jiang Dong'er pressed her chest.

Dry cough?

Non-infectious cough?

Or is it an allergic cough caused by environmental and climate changes?

Xu Qiu asked, "Have you been exposed to any new environment recently, such as decoration, going to a certain place, or changing bed sheets and quilts, etc."

"I have changed bed sheets and quilts. I change them every month, and I also use old quilts that have been washed. I have never done this before." Jiang Dong'er said.

Xu Qiu asked for a more detailed medical history.

Then he looked at the patient's chest CT film.

From the CT, there is a mass-like shadow in the upper lobe of the right lung. It is difficult to judge what it is. It may be tuberculosis.

Jiang Dong'er himself has a history of coughing. Although he has not had symptoms such as fever, the possibility of tuberculosis cannot be ruled out.

"Do a physical examination." Xu Qiu put on the stethoscope.

Jiang Dong'er blushed and looked back at his parents.

Dad Jiang looked serious and left the clinic, closing the door.

Jiang Dong'er's eyes moved to Mother Jiang again.

The latter was stunned for a moment: "I'm going out too?"

She smiled immediately... the naughty daughter before she got sick seemed to be back again.

Mother Jiang felt better and followed her husband out of the clinic.

Only then did Jiang Donger grit her teeth in pain, gasped a few times, and said: "Doctor Xu, I feel so painful..."

Xu Qiu said solemnly: "Where does it hurt, chest?"

"Not just the chest, the whole body...many places hurt!"
