親愛的校友,
科大784校友張戈現正躺在美國的Florida的Tampa醫院一個多星期（到今天是第九天）:
生活不能自理，吃喝拉撒全在床上由親人(妻子，兒子和妹妹)或醫務人員協助。剛開始一個星期不知道是什麽病，後來認為是腦膜炎，但過了一個星期醫生又說不 是腦膜炎，不知道是什麽病。有些醫生甚至在這種情況下建議回家養著（不知道什麽病又生活不能自理），在家屬和部分醫生地堅持下還留在醫院。但由於醫院方麵 沒有能力診斷出具體病因，特求助各位校友（特別是本人有經驗的校友，或與名醫院，名醫生能有聯係的校友），幫忙找出病因或提供有用信息。具體的症狀如下 （到今天2011年4月23日為止由妻子提供）：
My hu*****and has been sick for 16 days now with a debilitating illness. It
started with flu-like symptoms – fever, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches
(concentrated to the back). He volunteered to go to the emergency room twice to
diagnose his condition to no avail. Five to six days into the illness, he
complained about double-vision, and he appeared to be disoriented and confused.
A week in, he began having trouble urinating, had trouble standing, had become
very weak, and he became delusional.
We took him into the emergency room and the doctors performed a series of
tests. His lumbar puncture hinted at a viral infection – elevated protein
levels, and lymphocytes in his spinal fluid. However, all other tests – MRI and
CT scans of his head and abdomen, EEG, vitals, blood – are all normal. His
fever disappeared two weeks into his illness, and he is relatively clear-headed
when we talk to him. He suffers from long-term memory loss – he has trouble
recalling even the big events in his life. He still has trouble urinating, he
has drooped eyelids, he doesn’t talk much, he still feels dizzy, he falls
asleep instantly and is hard to wake, and he is so weak he doesn’t have
strength to sit up. The doctors tested for a lot of potential viruses but found
none. They stopped acyclovir and antibiotics and started him on steroids to
treat him for an autoimmune encephalitis condition. Any ideas as to what he
has? Our family is extremely worried.
He does do a lot of yard work, and we live in Florida where there are a lot of
insects including mosquitoes and ticks. This spring, he had very bad allergies
that lasted for four months.

萬分感謝！
