Chapter 568: Amazing Tuberculosis Screening


"Reporting me won't do any good, even if I knowingly came to work sick, you can't touch me!" Director Wen arrogantly said, "But you're finished. You must have put a lot of effort into your Thermophilic Streptococcus, didn't you research it for all five years of college?"

"Now that the project has been transferred, just with your salary of a mere three thousand a month as a teaching assistant, without the department's support, no matter how good your Thermophilic Streptococcus is, what will you use to develop it?"

Laughing loudly, Director Wen said with a triumphant look in his eyes, "Without the ability to develop it, in the end, you will still only be able to sell your Thermophilic Streptococcus cheaply, and now that the project has already been transferred, all the related materials and everything in this lab are someone else's, what do you have left, Shen Qiang?"

"And Shen Qiang, don't forget, the reason I can be a deputy director at such a young age is obviously because I have connections. If you dare report me, just wait for my revenge, I guarantee, it will make your life worse than death."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Nice thought, but you better figure out how to clear your own name first."

"No need, I have connections, in our school, nobody dares to touch me." Director Wen continued to boast.

Shen Qiang smiled, "I have already taken action, and this time, I will make sure you are expelled from the campus."

"In your dreams!" Almost at the same moment Director Wen spoke viciously, hurried footsteps were already approaching from outside the lab.

Soon the door to the lab squeaked open.

"You have connections, so you think you can disregard the safety of the entire school and act recklessly?" Following several school doctors, a thin old man hurried in, saying sternly, "Is this how you set an example as a teacher?"

Suddenly, the beautiful teacher Ju Yang was stunned, "Secretary Guo!"

Director Wen was also startled, quickly forcing a smile, "Hello, Secretary Guo, you..."

"Director Wen," the thin old man said sternly, "go with the school doctors to the hospital for a checkup immediately. If I find out you indeed knew about your tuberculosis and failed to report to the school, and continued coming to work, I will remove you as deputy director right away."

Director Wen quickly said, "Secretary Guo, it's not what you think."

Secretary Guo angrily said, "It's not what I think? You are a medical professor, a deputy head of the department, this is Medical University, tuberculosis is a Class B infectious disease, don't you know? You've really crossed the line! If the Education Committee hadn't called me, I would still be in the dark."

"Do you realize how many people your behavior could harm? These students are the future pillars of Huaxia. Yet, you teach them while you carry an infectious disease. Just wait, if you didn't know about this before, I won't blame you, but if you knew and still came to classes, don't even think about being a director anymore. If any student gets infected with tuberculosis, don't even think about staying at Medical University."

"Secretary Guo, Secretary Guo, please don't be angry, things are really not as you imagine," Director Wen argued weakly, his face pale.

Secretary Guo ignored him, turned to Shen Qiang, and said, "Are you the Shen Qiang who reported Director Wen?"

Shen Qiang nodded, "Yes, it was me."

Secretary Guo nodded, "Well done. The school needs people like you to eliminate these harm-doers. However, next time something like this comes up, you can come directly to me. Once confirmed, I will not tolerate it."

Shen Qiang smiled, "I understand."

Almost at the same time, a middle-aged woman hurriedly came over, "Secretary Guo, Secretary Guo, people from the Disease Control Center have come, asking Director Wen and everyone who has been in contact with Director Wen to immediately undergo tuberculosis screening."

Secretary Guo was surprised, glanced at Shen Qiang, and said, "Did you do this?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "Yes, I couldn't just stand by."

Secretary Guo frowned, nodding reluctantly.

At that moment, Director Wen stepped forward urgently, "Secretary Guo, look at this Shen Qiang, where is there any sense of organization or discipline? He contacted the Education Committee and the Disease Control Center without even notifying you, isn't that undermining you?"

"It's you who are undermining me!" Secretary Guo furiously said, "We are Medical University, and you, a professor of medicine, acted like this? If the students don't show any problems, well and good, but if they really get infected with TB because of you, Medical University will become a joke in the medical community!"

Director Wen fell silent, angry Secretary Guo turned around and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Come with me to get screened."

Looking at Secretary Guo, about to explode with anger, Director Wen's face was filled with panic.

Shen Qiang, however, smiled with his eyes curved brightly.

Because tuberculosis screening generally involves an injection of tuberculin for a skin test.

This is a bioproduct made from the culture filtrate of tuberculosis bacteria, containing only tuberculosis proteins, not the bacteria itself, abbreviated as PPD.

Within 24-72 hours after the subcutaneous injection, they measure the diameter of the skin induration.

Inside 5mm is negative (-), 5~9mm is weakly positive (+), 10~19mm is positive (++), more than 20mm or less than 20mm but with the occurrence of blistering or necrosis is strongly positive (+++).

If the tuberculin shows a positive reaction, it indicates that the person has been infected with tuberculosis bacteria. Next, the CDC will definitely require those with positive reactions to undergo sputum bacteriological tests and X-ray examinations, among others, to make a final judgement.

Director Wen would not pass this test, not in the slightest doubt.

But at the same time, because of the controllability of Plague Source, without Shen Qiang's permission, Director Wen's tuberculosis would actually not be contagious to anyone, just like Bianyi before, severely ill with a contagious disease, yet not infectious to others.

A group of people went downstairs.

The CDC had brought many people.

Four modified buses.

Almost everyone from the Department of Microbiology and Biochemical Pharmacy was rushing over to witness this scene.

Shen Qiang laughed.

In an instant, he activated Plague Source and released the lowest grade, least threatening, allowing everyone to be infected with minute amounts of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria.

Such infections would not result in illness.

And those Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria could not replicate or proliferate.

That is to say, in no more than three days, they would be cleared by the human body itself.

But the results of the skin tests, it was clear to guess, would definitely be positive reactions for everyone.

Soon, the skin testing started.

Less than ten minutes after injecting PPD, all subjects tested, without exception, showed a positive reaction to tuberculosis bacteria.

Even Secretary Guo was not spared.

In such a situation,

Watching the results of one infection after another from the tests, Secretary Guo, with a somber expression, looked at Director Wen and nodded softly, "Director Wen, you've done a very impressive job. It's certain that I can't continue with my job. But before I resign, the last thing I want to do is to expel you from the party and dismiss you from your position!"

Looking at the raging Secretary Guo.

Director Wen's face turned pale.

Shen Qiang laughed.
