"Teacher Liu, what just happened?"
After Zhang Ping left, Su Wenhao came over.
"The patient I diagnosed last night for Xu Hui was transferred to Neurology, and he was just diagnosed with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis," said Liu Banxia.
"Teacher Liu, is this disease very serious? I don't really understand it," Su Wenhao said.
"Well, it's undoubtedly serious as there's no cure for it. We can only treat the symptoms and try to maintain the patient," Liu Banxia said.
"The virus that causes the disease is the measles virus, which can lie dormant for several years or even decades. Many people may show no problems, but once it breaks out, it becomes hard to handle."
"Since the measles virus is defective, it cannot produce effective antibodies. The only possible way to deal with it relies on the patient's own immune system."
