"It seems about the same as we speculated, right? It should be the husband who transmitted the infection to his wife. The husband's chest films show much more severe changes," Liu Banxia said after they reviewed the young couple's CT scans.
Chen Xuehai nodded. "It appears this infection is chronic. It's only now reached a certain threshold and entered a rapid phase."
"This means the infection was likely present before their honeymoon, so it has little to do with their travel abroad. Let's perform a bronchoscopy for a more thorough look."
"Both husband and wife are coughing. We should ask about that too, right? Perhaps this cough isn't a current symptom but part of their medical history," Wang Huan suggested.
The three of them reached a consensus and then, accompanied by the interns, headed to the young couple's ward.
Given the situation, they would have to be admitted directly. The disease was progressing so rapidly that it could become very dangerous if not diagnosed in time.
