My German Empire
Chapter 558 Panama Canal (4)
Henry doctor is the most authoritative expert in the Panama Canal Hospital. At the evening, he went to the hospital in the afternoon. He saw that the whole hospital was crowded with people, simply, the air was filled, the air was filled with vomiting. .
"What is going on?" Henry Dr. Henry pulled a nurse. "How to suddenly do so many people?"
"Dr. Henry, you finally came." The nurse is anxious. "From noon, there are so many patients, all of them are the same symptoms. Mainly fever, vomiting, diarrhea."
So many people are symptoms? "Food poisoning?"
"We have already asked." The nurse shook his head. "Many people have not eaten breakfast, even the water is not drinking. It is also the same symptom, should it be a food poison?"
"Oh, it is really strange, take a few medical records to my office." Henry Dr. Henry quickly came to the office, replaced with white coat, and looked at the medical records that the nurse took it. The symptoms of everyone are different, all are high, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea. "It's not a food poisoning, what will so many people suffer?"
Suddenly, a terrible word flashed into the mind. "God, isn't it yellow?"
Yellow fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the infection of the yellow thermal virus, and the transmission path is Irazi bites. The clinical clinical is mainly used as high fever, chill, headache, body pain, fatigue, black appetite, loss of disgusting, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, proteinuria, relative turning, bleeding, etc.
In 1648, Huangfei is in the West Indies of Barbados, in the past two centuries, Huangfei is popular in the Americas, Africa and a few European countries, so it is called "American plague".
This yellow fever is also called black vometims, the beginning is chills and fever, the patient feels weak, back pain, headache, and skin pain, these symptoms gradually increase. Vomiting in more serious cases - vomit is black due to stomach bleeding. After two to three days, he had a fever, chills and pain. For those relatively fortunate patients (about 7 torrent), the survivors are immunized from this life. For additional people, only two or three days of relaxation, then fever and spitting black water again, the patient's nose and toothed bed began to ooze blood. When the liver is dysfunction, the patient's skin color will be like a gods, and the mental disorders are often struggling. Of course, there are also a few people who have also miraculously rehabilitated in this last stage, but most patients will fall into coma until they end their pain and death.
According to incomplete statistics at the time, nearly 80% of patients died in a month, the body was buried. Soon, Huangfei spread from Barbados to the West Indies, and further landed in Central America. Two more than two hundred years later, Huangfei swept across the Americas, and the white colonists from Europe became their key strikes.
In 1961, Huangfei was swept in Havana in Mexico, causing many residents to die. In the local British army, foreign soldiers have not been affected, but 15,000 British garries, 3,000 sailors and 5,000 soldiers died of yellow fever.
In 1795, about 4,000 soldiers were sent to Haiti by the UK, and only 1800 people lived in the coming year. In 1796, about 13,000 new soldiers, about 1300 people died in yellow fever. At that time, the grave was buried to bury the dead, and it became an extremely extravagant thing. A grave often buried five or six bodies.
By the end of the 17th century, Huangfei spread to North American colonial New York. In September, death is almost every day. In 1702, the yellowness, known as "American Plague", once again burst into New York, a total of 570 deaths, and the mortality rate is 10%. Since then, the yellow fever has built many times in New York, causing thousands of deaths.
Yellow fever uses its severe contagious and amazing mortality,
Even if it is the later generation, yellow fever does not have special effects of drug treatment, mainly in prevention. The vaccination is vaccinated in time without the onset, and various anti-mosquit bite measures will be taken to prevent infection. Once you accidentally be treated with infection, you can actively prevent various complications.
The earliest construction of the Panama Canal is actually France.
The engineering part ignores the climate in Panama, the Panama area is a tropical jungle climate, the weather is humid, and the local malaria and yellow fever and other infectious diseases have come. This buried a film for the final failure of France to build a Panama Canal.
The yellowness of the yellow fever takes away the health and life of thousands of French construction workers. According to statistics, only in 1884, there were 1/3 (about 7,000 people) infected with yellow fever or died of yellow fever. In 1886, 30 French engineers arrived in Panama. After a month, 13 people died for yellowing and fever. At that time, the mortality rate of the canal workers was 176/1000; more than 22,000 people died during the Panama Canal Project, labor was killed by more than 22,000 people. France wants to do various ways to stop the raging yellow fever in the canal area. Because the influence of the yellow fever causes personnel casualties and financial stabilization, the progress of the project is difficult, France barely supported by 1894, announced the abandonment of this cross-section project The Panama Canal Company announced bankruptcy.
After the French left, the United States took over the construction of the Panama Canal.
The United States has a Panama Canal facing the same problem as the French at that time, that is, how to deal with the tropical infectious disease headed by yellow fever.
They take a series of measures to eliminate infectious diseases. Including: (1) Deforestation of the forest, increase mosquito aggregated wet heat forest and employee zone; (2) Organize a large-scale mosquito action; (3) Strengthen the medical service of workers; (4) Recruitment of malaria Black worker with natural immunity. At the same time, the medical experts headed by Goges have implemented the "new health measures during the Panama Canal". Through the above measures, malaria is roughly destroyed in 1905; in 1907, the yellow fever in the Panama Canal area was eradicated.
Can I suddenly recurrent after 33 years?
"Fast, isolate all the patients, the medical staff will do a good job." Although there is no personal experience, Henry Dr. Henry also knows that the yellow fever has a very strong communication.
But Isolation is so easy. If one or two patients are isolated from a ward, more than a dozen patients are isolated from the first floor, but now the hospital is full of patients, even if the entire hospital is isolated, it is not enough.
I have just told it for a while, and the nurse ran over. "Henry doctor, bad, several nurses also have vomiting."
