Beware of AIDS due to long-term diarrhea

　　A farmer in Heilongjiang, continued diarrhea , had low-grade fever for 10 months, and was promoted to top three majors in the province. Hospital , he spent all his family’s savings and borrowed no less than 100,000 yuan in debt, but no doctor checked him for HIV. Finally, a family in Beijing was diagnosed with AIDS！

　　The theme of this year's World AIDS Day is "Citizen Mobilization". Tsinghua University news Professor Li Xiguang, deputy dean of the School of Communication, after receiving the Special Contribution Award for AIDS Prevention and Control from the United Nations, called for: AIDS prevention and treatment knowledge should be more widely disseminated to the public.

　　“Even my intestines are about to come out”

　　In February 2008, Wang Jun's (pseudonym) family in rural Huachuan County, Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province celebrated the Spring Festival and were preparing for the new year's farm work.

　　Wang Jun suddenly developed diarrhea and low fever. During the Spring Festival, it was common for him to have diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems after eating haisei, so at first, his family didn't pay much attention to it and bought him some medicine.

　　The scary thing is that the diarrhea didn't stop after that. I went to the toilet more than ten times a day. The stool was watery at first, and then became watery, only slightly turbid than urine. "When I feel uncomfortable, I feel like my intestines are about to come out."

　　At first, he was prescribed some medicine to treat diarrhea in the township hospital, but it was of no avail. Seeing that his health was getting worse day by day, his family became anxious.

　　Wang Jun is the youngest son of the family. He is 28 years old this year and his child is 3 years old. He lives at home farming. He served in the army for three years and has always been in good health. “I have never been sick. cold It's all rare for me. ”

　　In early March, Wang Jun’s father and his wife took him to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University for treatment. Because he was extremely weak, the hospital recommended that Wang Jun be hospitalized. In order to find out the cause of the disease, the hospital conducted systemic examinations such as blood, urine, liver function, kidney function, intestinal tract, and even examination of superficial lymphoid tissue and tumors. The final diagnostic conclusion was: severe fungal infection.

　　After 24 days of hospitalization in the hospital, Wang Jun's physical condition became much better, and the frequency and consistency of his bowel movements had improved to a certain extent. The doctor said that the condition was basically cured and Wang Jun was discharged from the hospital and returned home. A total of 25,000 yuan was spent.

　　When seeking medical treatment in the provincial capital, encounters medical problems

　　Less than a month after returning home, the diarrhea and low-grade fever that had been temporarily relieved returned again, this time more serious. Wang Jun's thighs began to become weak and he needed help when walking.

　　In April, his elderly father carried Wang Jun on his back, got into a car, and transferred to a train to Harbin, the provincial capital. After leaving the station, we went straight to the famous First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. Because they heard that it was difficult to get a specialist number in a big hospital, they rushed to the hospital early in the morning.

　　As soon as I entered the registration hall of the hospital, a woman came up to chat with me, claiming to work in the hospital: "We have seen your situation a lot in our hospital. There are many patients from all over the country with this kind of disease, so we need to be treated quickly. My father had exactly the same symptoms as you, and he was almost dying at that time. After Western medicine treatment for a long time, it didn't get better, but after taking a few doses of Chinese medicine, I got better immediately. ”

　　Then, she introduced Wang Jun to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital not far from the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, and wrote him the address and phone number of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

　　Wang Jun didn't register at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, so he couldn't wait to go to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. An old Chinese doctor simply took Wang Jun's pulse, asked about his condition, and diagnosed him with "blood loss, qi loss, kidney loss, malnutrition, and a lot of problems. He was very troublesome. He had to take medication immediately. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to be introduced to him in time. If it were later, he would have been in trouble." ”

　　Unsuspecting, Wang Jun bought 1,840 yuan worth of traditional Chinese medicine, taking 40 doses in total.

　　After returning home and taking more than 10 doses of medicine, Wang Jun's condition showed no improvement, and his diarrhea became more severe. He also felt nauseous after taking the medicine. It was only then that Wang Jun thought that the lady in the registration hall was probably a medical attendant.

　　In May, his father rushed to Harbin again with Wang Jun on his back. In order to avoid encountering medical doctors again, they went to the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University this time. After 4 days of examination, the cause was not found.

　　Since the hospital in the provincial capital found nothing wrong, it should be nothing serious. Wang Jun returned to Jiamusi again with a sense of luck. Or use antibiotics for maintenance treatment according to enterovirus infection.

　　After returning this time, Wang Jun's condition gradually improved, with diarrhea, fever , mental and emotional conditions improved. The family breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was not an incurable disease, it might just be that none of the previous treatments were effective.

　　Surgeon diagnoses mold poisoning

　　In early September, the weather just turned cooler. Diarrhea suddenly attacked Wang Jun again, and fever, weight loss, and general weakness also followed one after another.

　　Before finishing the farm work, his father took Wang Jun to the provincial capital again. This time he found a distant relative and asked a general surgeon from the Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University to see a doctor. Although diarrhea should be treated by internal medicine, "acquaintances don't worry" and decided to let this surgeon treat him.

　　A series of tests and examinations were also conducted, and the diagnosis was "profound mold poisoning." After 22 days of hospitalization, the mold indicators were indeed under control and the diarrhea symptoms were alleviated. Wang Jun was able to walk freely and his appetite also improved. The doctor said he was cured and could go home from the hospital.

　　“It seems that you have to ask an acquaintance to see a doctor! ”The whole family thanked the doctor from the bottom of their hearts and happily took Wang Jun home. Although the medical expenses cost more than 20,000 yuan, they still felt it was very worthwhile.

　　Just one month after returning home, the diarrhea started again.

　　After visiting all the major hospitals in the province, my only hope was to go to Beijing, which has the best medical conditions.

　　He and his wife were both infected

　　On the morning of November 5, as soon as they arrived in Beijing, they took a taxi and went straight to the hospital. Wang Jun's father had already inquired from many places that it was one of the best hospitals in China.

　　After arriving at the hospital, I directly called the emergency number. The doctor issued a test order after consultation, and the results came out within an hour. “The nurse holding the results looked strange when she saw me. ”Wang Jun's father felt ominous.

　　At around 6 o'clock that night, several people in military uniforms came to the emergency ward, asked Wang Jun in detail about his illness and family situation, and then told Wang's father alone that his son had AIDS.

　　The next day, the hospital arranged to transfer Wang Jun to a hospital in Beijing that treats AIDS. This is a specialized hospital for infectious diseases and has a department dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of AIDS.

　　On November 25, after traveling to Jiamusi, Harbin, Beijing and other places, after more than 10 months of arduous medical treatment, and spending all his family's savings and more than 100,000 yuan raised through debt, he finally received a test report from a hospital in Beijing that was as unacceptable as a bolt from the blue: Wang Jun was suffering from AIDS and had infected his wife!

　　But until he was diagnosed with AIDS, Wang Jun didn't even understand the three ways AIDS spreads (sexual intercourse, blood, and mother-to-child transmission). Faced with the cruel diagnosis, he recalled that he donated blood once in 1999 when he was in the army. After he was discharged from the army, he had a girlfriend while working in Guangdong and had sex without safety measures.

　　Fortunately, Wang Jun's child was not infected. "If the child was infected, I would not want to live..." Wang's father's voice gradually choked up. “The one I feel most sorry for is my daughter-in-law. My daughter came to our house and contracted the disease. How should I explain it to my in-laws?……”

　　Why? Why?

　　A 28-year-old farmer traveled to Jiamusi, Harbin and Beijing for 10 months, went to six large state-owned hospitals for diagnosis, and spent more than 100,000 yuan before he was finally diagnosed with AIDS. At this time, his wife was also diagnosed as an AIDS patient. After reading such a heavy story, the editor couldn't help sighing.

　　We can't help but ask: Why?

　　Prolonged diarrhea, fever, and low immunity are typical symptoms of AIDS patients. Why don't these hospitals think of doing an HIV test?

　　This 28-year-old patient had served in the military and worked in other places. He was not an old-fashioned farmer with his face turned to the earth and his back to the sky. Why didn't he suspect that he might be infected with AIDS and take the initiative to explain it to the doctor?

　　At this moment, we cannot be too harsh on the patient, but can only express infinite sympathy and help him overcome the difficulties; and these incredible things happening in medical institutions can only remind us: how long and arduous it is to strengthen the popularization of AIDS prevention and treatment knowledge, especially our doctors.
