After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

"Why didn't I think of it sooner?"

Li Min pounded his thigh and walked quickly towards District 3 without saying goodbye to Tang Li.

"Mu Qing."

Hear his voice before he sees him.

Mu Qing sat by the window, which was opened a little for ventilation.

At this time, Mu Qing closed the book and heard Li Min's voice from afar.

There was some anxiety in his voice.

Mu Qing closed the window temporarily, and when Li Min walked to the door, she also arrived behind the wooden door.

The two were still separated by a wooden door.

"There are two types of pulses in infected patients. Some have pulses that indicate typhoid fever, while others have different pulses."

Li Min made it short: "There are two kinds of plague this time, one is typhoid and the other is malaria."

Typhoid fever is what we call influenza today.

In ancient times, this kind of epidemic was the easiest to spread, but Mu Qing couldn't understand how cross infection could occur in such a small place like Anping.

Mu Qing looked at Li Min with a headache.

If it is typhoid fever, the mortality rate will be low.

And malaria...

The mortality rate from malaria varies greatly depending on the infecting species.

Generally speaking, the mortality rate of Plasmodium vivax malaria, Plasmodium malariae and Ovale malaria is relatively low, about 2%.

If the person is an asymptomatic carrier of malarial parasites, the mortality rate is less than 0.1%.

Malignant malaria has a high mortality rate and is a serious disease.

Cerebral malaria is the main cause of death among people infected with falciparum malaria, with a mortality rate of 9%-31%.

The patient's coma is a characteristic of malignant malaria, and Mu Qing has seen this characteristic in many of Anping's current death symptoms.

Mu Qing had sweat on his forehead, not just because of the isolation.

She looked at the wooden door:

"Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work. We need to re-isolate the patients with typhoid and malaria in the next few days.

otherwise……

Otherwise, cross infection is very likely to occur.”

Mu Qing slowly stated the worst possible outcome; she even had a guess in her mind.

It just so happened that these two plagues appeared in Anping at the same time.

Mu Qing grabbed the book dejectedly and almost tore the pages apart.

"Cross-infection!" Li Min listened to Mu Qing's conclusion and silently thought of the definition of cross-infection mentioned in those medical books.

He took a deep breath and exhaled:

"Oh, I see."

This plague has caused great harm to people.

There are so many people.

Mu Qing's sweat had just faded away, her steps were a little unsteady, and she was afraid that Li Min would be deeply shocked.

Mu Qing searched his mind for prescriptions for malaria and injuries.

Since the symptoms correspond, we naturally need to prescribe the right medicine.

It’s not something we can be thankful for, but we have now discovered that solving the problem early will save more lives than discovering the problem after more people have died.

Whenever Chinese people think of malaria, they think of artemisinin.

Mr. Tu won the Nobel Prize for creating the new antimalarial drugs artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin.

There are many records of the antimalarial effect of artemisinin in historical books.

In the book "Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow" compiled by Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty, it is recorded:

"Take a handful of Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, squeeze out the juice, and drink it all."

The book cites the use of Artemisia annua to treat malaria as the remote cause of the invention of artemisinin, an antimalarial drug.

The Artemisia annua in traditional Chinese medical books, such as the Artemisia annua recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica, is actually the Artemisia yellow flower recorded in the botanical classification.

The Artemisia annua in Compendium of Materia Medica corresponds to the Artemisia annua in botanical classification.

In botanical classification, Artemisia annua and Artemisia annua have the same function in traditional Chinese medicine, except that the former can treat malaria.

Note: The Artemisia annua referred to in the previous and following texts is the Artemisia annua in the botanical classification, not the Artemisia annua in the botanical classification.

Mu Qing recalled the ancient artemisia annua recipe that Ma Jixing had deciphered, and continued:

“Artemisia annua can cure malaria.”

Li Min was worried about how to treat malaria, so Mu Qing read out the ancient recipe of Artemisia annua.

"Artemisia annua grown in summer?" Li Min asked.

"Yes."

Artemisia annua grows best in summer. Its plants are fresh and tender and contain rich active ingredients. Now that summer is approaching, you should be able to find a lot of Artemisia annua. Even if you don't have any medicine in reserve, you can pick some and bring them back.

Li Min happened to know that Artemisia annua grew on the mountain in Anping, so as soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Artemisinin is more effective in treating malaria than Artemisia annua, but it cannot be extracted using technology nowadays, so we can only try Artemisia annua as a substitute.

If the treatment is effective in Anping, the number of people dying from malaria will be greatly reduced.

Who knows, maybe we can save many people without using large amounts of traditional Chinese medicine.

Mu Qing thought of the letter Du Congsheng sent today.

If the ancient method works, the people of Shucheng should be able to be saved.

Mu Qing modified the letter that was about to be delivered to Du Congsheng before handing it to the spy.

Yan Ming shrank back when he saw Mu Qing return to the house. Although he was young, Mu Qing had been talking to various adults outside the door in the past few days.

He had heard the voice of one of them in the clinic before, it was Doctor Li's voice.

Yan Ming looked at Mu Qing's back and spoke tentatively:

"Are you Lord Mu from Anping?"

A voice came from behind, Mu Qing turned around and saw Yan Ming on the bed looking at him with round eyes.

Her heart softened, a smile appeared on her face, and she wanted to tease the child:

"How could that be? Lord Mu is of noble status, why would he come to live in District 3?"

"Who knows. My mother said that Lord Mu often goes to the fields."

Mu Qing looked at Yan Ming with amusement. This time, he no longer hated the official like he did that day, but instead praised her.

Mu Qing often chats with the three children.

Xiao Feng and Yan Ming are almost recovered from their illnesses. They had high fever and cough, and it looked like typhoid fever.

Yan Che's illness is more serious. He has had fever from time to time in the past few days. After taking a few doses of medicine, he feels better than at the beginning, but his illness is not yet cured.

Mu Qing and Li Min said they wanted to be isolated again.

Under the current circumstances, Yan Che's illness looks like malaria.

I guess Yan Ming has heard what she and Li Min said.

Yan Ming didn't quite understand the conversation between the two, but he had heard the word quarantine many times since the plague arrived, so he knew what it meant.

Yan Ming hugged his elder brother tightly again:

"I don't know if you are Lord Mu, but Doctor Li is so familiar with you. If we have to be isolated again, can you let my brother stay in the same room with me?"

Yan Ming spoke cautiously, and perhaps fearing that Mu Qing might be unhappy, he added:

"With you in the room, there are three of us in one room."

"Why? I want to be in the same room with Brother Mu."

Xiao Feng suddenly started to speak. Since he fell ill, he had been locked up for a few days. He could only stay in one place all day long, and his personality became more honest.

Mu Qing often gave them candies, and Xiao Feng had a vague feeling of being a bootlicker, so he was very diligent in helping Mu Qing with work.

Mu Qing, who suddenly became a popular figure, was a little amused:

“Isolation is not something I can decide. Now there are two diseases, and doctors in Anping will separate patients with different diseases to avoid cross infection.

Cross infection is..."

Mu Qing patiently talked to the three children on the bed and did not fool them just because they were young.

Yan Ming had a quick mind and immediately realized that Yan Che's disease was different from his own, and he immediately curled the corners of his lips.

As soon as Mu Qing saw Yan Ming's downturned lips, he knew that Yan Ming might cry again.

Yan Ming cries easily and is a typical crybaby.

Mu Qing immediately followed up with the next sentence:

"Isolating different patients is to better treat the disease, that is, to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease. This is good news for Yan Che."
