Chapter 542 - 235: The Strongest Healing is Self-Immunity, Which Made the Patient Cry_2
"When the normal cells of the human body die, they release a chemical alarm signal. At this point, the body’s immune system receives the alarm signal and quickly mobilizes the macrophages within the body to counterattack the invading bacteria. Macrophages are able to automatically capture the invading bacteria and release a deadly fluid to dissolve them."
After listening to Zhou Can’s detailed explanation, a satisfied expression appeared on Director Shang’s face.
Nodding continuously, he listened to Zhou Can talk further.
Dr. Yu also admired Zhou Can’s solid medical knowledge.
"If it were ordinary bacteria, they would be quickly killed after being captured by macrophages. However, Salmonella possesses a powerful secret weapon; it too can release a unique chemical signal that prevents macrophages from affecting it. Or rather, the chemical signals they release resemble an invisibility cloak, making the macrophages effectively blind."
"At this point, the macrophages become ineffective, and they become more rampant. Inside the human body, they continue to crazily destroy normal cells and proliferate massively. As the Salmonella completely spirals out of control in the intestines, more and more normal cells die, and the intensity of the released alarm signals increases. At this time, the intestines produce an instinctive self-protective response."
"This response is somewhat similar to an enteritis reaction. Patients would feel nauseous and experience abdominal pain. Fluids in the stomach would reflux, leading patients to feel suffocated, and eventually experience severe vomiting, expelling some of the Salmonella. Simultaneously, intestinal peristalsis accelerates, and water accumulates at the bottom of the intestines, causing patients to experience intense diarrhea. This too helps expel some of the Salmonella."
The symptoms described by Zhou Can had all been experienced by Patient 73.
"Doctor, after I vomit and have diarrhea, expelling the bacteria, does that mean I will recover?"
The patient asked somewhat weakly.
