Chapter 144
[The six most terrible infectious diseases in popular science. 】
[Start the first place in popular science: smallpox.] 】
[The smallpox virus has killed nearly 500 million people!]
[Thus becoming the most terrible infectious disease.] 】
[Smallpox is an ancient infectious disease, highly contagious, severe, and high mortality, after treatment, the face of the cured person will appear dense pockmarks, hence the name. 】
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was infected with this disease, so he got the stem of Kang Mazi. 】
[The smallpox virus has been popularized before.] 】
[I won't introduce much here.] 】
[Only treatment methods and ~ prevention methods are introduced.] 】
【Treatment:】
[So far, there is no established effective treatment-method for smallpox.] 】
[Patients infected with smallpox must be strictly isolated until they are cured, and the isolation time shall not be less than 40 days after the onset of the disease.] 】
[Their clothing, utensils, respiratory secretions, and herpes exudate need to be strictly disinfected, and people who come into contact with the patient should be vaccinated immediately.] 】
[Patients are usually treated with supportive care to provide adequate hydration and nutrition, such as intravenous electrolytes, nutritional supplements, or drugs to control high fever or pain, and antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection after smallpox virus infection in the young and frail patients, and to maintain clean eyes, mouth, nose and skin.] Symptomatic treatment of corneal ulcers, rashes, etc. 】
[Prevention:]
[Because there is no treatment, prevention can only be the mainstay.] 】
[The means of prevention is smallpox vaccination (vaccinia).] 】
[Popular science how to plant pox. 】
[There are two methods, one is the human pox method, and the other is the safer cowpox method. 】
[Human pox method:]
[In the 16th and 17th centuries, human pox inoculation was widely used in various parts of China, and also spread to other surrounding countries, and was highly praised by various countries. 】
[The specific method is to use pox pus or acne crust powder of smallpox patients as inoculation materials, and try to send them into the nasal cavity of non-patients to cause localized pox rash, so as to obtain immunity to smallpox.] 】
【......】
【Cowpox Method:】
[However, the traditional pox method is not safe, leaving a large scar at the light level, and there is a danger of death at the heavy level.] 】
[In 1738, after switching to the scab of human pox inoculators as inoculation materials, the mortality rate dropped greatly, but there were still 0.2 0.5 people who suffered miserably. 】
[Dr. Jenner, who accidentally noticed that the milkgirl and the groom in the stables were often unharmed during the smallpox epidemic and were rarely infected. 】
["What is the cause of this?"]
[Upon further investigation, Jenner discovered that cows were also infected with smallpox just like humans, and that the red, swollen and abscesses on the udders of cattle were very similar to those of smallpox patients.] 】
[Milkmaids tend to get cowpox at first, but strangely enough, whoever has cowpox never gets smallpox again.] 】
[Similarly, horse breeders and coachmen often suffer from a type of blistering similar to "equine heelitis", but have since acquired immunity to smallpox.] 】
[In the human pox vaccination, Jenner also found that people who have been infected with cow smallpox or have had smallpox often do not react to the inoculation, and even if they do, it is very mild. 】
【......】
[After more than ten years of repeated observation and experiments. 】
[On May 14, 1796, Jenner prepares to do the final step—human experiments.] 】
[With excitement and anticipation, he squeezed out a little of the cowpox and blister serous from the arm of the milking girl Nilmus, who was infected with 14 years, and "planted" it on the arm of an 8-year-old healthy boy, where there were two shallow marks about 2 centimeters long that were drawn with a needle. 】
[From the fourth onwards, a series of typical initial reactions, such as papules, vesicles, pustules, crusts, and scabs, appear on the superficial scars.] 】
[It lasted for half a month, and the boy's whole body was only mildly unwell. 】
[In order to verify the effect, he was vaccinated again on July 19, but there were no smallpox symptoms. 】
[This is the first successful trial of human vaccinia inoculation in human history.] 】
[Later, it was changed to abscess slurry from cows, and finally to the pox of cowpox inoculators, and after dozens of tests, the same immune effect was obtained. 】
【......】
The ancient people were moved to tears.
Previously, the light curtain only gave the emperor a vaccine to prevent smallpox, and he couldn't ask the emperor for a vaccine, which made them hungry.
It's good now.
There are two ways to choose from pox.
Even the detailed pox process and results are not reserved at all.
They just do it.
"Don't talk about it, I'll knock two to the light curtain first. "
"Great, my dad is saved. "
"Who has had smallpox, and deducted some scabs for me to use?"
"Brother, if you don't rush, let's use the cowpox method, you can ensure that you are not the unlucky one among the 20 to 50 people?"
"Yes, let's wait and find the cow infected with smallpox. "
“......"
Qin Dynasty.
The healer was completely dumbfounded.
"Is there such a cure?"
"It's prevention, it's not a cure, but after the pox, you won't get smallpox again for the rest of your life, it's really miraculous. "
“..."
The head of the doctor's family, talking to several doctors, thoughts.
In later generations, it is really difficult to integrate the theories of Chinese medicine.
Xianyang Palace.
"The widow is done. "
Ying Zheng finally finished drawing a pamphlet on the treatment of infectious diseases.
Han dynasty.
Liu Bang pondered for a moment, and then asked the courtiers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever found someone infected with smallpox in the Han Dynasty?"
The horror of smallpox is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Liu Bang thought that someone would be infected with this disease, so he just took the opportunity to get the people of the whole country vaccinated.
The ministers shook their heads in response.
Liu Bang nodded, "It's okay if you don't have it, pay close attention, and once someone gets sick, report it to the court immediately." "
Another dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che's eyes were full of novelty. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
He had been vaccinated against smallpox before.
This will be completely unconcerned about infection.
It's just that he didn't expect that the smallpox vaccine would be made like this.
"The first person to be vaccinated, what do you think about the melon seeds in your head?" Liu Che was shocked, he could come up with such a strange prevention and control method.
Tang dynasty.
Li Shimin retracted his gaze and immediately made an order.
"Whoever comes, look for smallpox-infected cattle throughout the country, and those who find them will be rewarded with 100 gold!
"Yes! Your Majesty. "
The money is moving, and Li Shimin has won the essence.
If he had ordered someone to find it himself, it would have taken time and effort not to mention, and he might not have been able to find it.
But the reward is different.
There will be a steady stream of people who take the initiative to do it, and they work very hard.
Ming dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to spend money at all.
He came up with a brilliant idea.
"Spread our word that once a person infected with smallpox is found in the territory of Daming, he will be locked up in a cowshed. "
"When you get better, let people out. "
"If the cow is infected with smallpox, it is great, and it must be handed over to the government, and the government will buy the cow. "
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was proud.
The Ming Dynasty has just been founded and is very poor?
It's okay.
He has a lot of ideas, and he can do things well without money!
Soon, the will was sent down to all parts of the country.
When the people saw this "outrageous" holy decree, they were dumbfounded.
What do you mean?
It's really unfathomable![]
Qing Dynasty.
The people rejoiced in trying to find a way to get the cattle infected with smallpox.
In this way, a safer cowpox method can be used.
No more risk-taking.
At this time, Kangxi in the palace was unhappy.
He looked at the reports from all over the place.
I couldn't help but be furious: "Damn the light curtain! Humiliate me again! And the foolish people everywhere! "
"I dare to disobey my will!"
Smallpox-infected cattle were hard to find, so he directly ordered a modified version of the human pox method.
But the people of the Qing Dynasty didn't even come out of the door, unwilling to use the human pox method!
In this way, it is the same as disobeying the holy will.
What made him even more angry was that even after someone was vaccinated, he did not thank him as the emperor, but thanked the hateful light curtain and kowtowed to it.
This can make Kangxi so angry that it explodes!
I can't drag all the foolish people to the execution ground and behead them!
Another dynasty.
Qianlong was even more angry.
Because of him, he was exposed by the light curtain once, and his reputation is a bit stinky.
The people directly vaccinated themselves, and they didn't need to ask the court for help at all.
Qianlong's expression was very unhappy, "If you vaccinate yourself, won't my merits be gone?"
"Tell them to stop self-inoculating now!"
"When I find the infected cows, I'll vaccinate them!"
A sober minister immediately admonished: "Your Majesty, there are many places where this disease is going on now, and I am afraid that I can't afford to wait." "
Qianlong glared directly at the minister.
"Shut up, I don't know how dangerous the pox method is, and I'll wait until I find the infected cattle and vaccinate them. "
"Tell them to wait. "
The minister also wanted to continue to dissuade Qianlong.
Directly pulled down to hit the board. ............ Two..
