(Central News Agency reporter Shen Peiyao, Taipei, 12th) The Baolin Tea House food poisoning case caused two deaths and shocked the society. The Taipei Mackay medical team who treated two patients successively heard the keywords and was alerted to the similarities in the course of the cases, and found the literature within 2 hours. As evidence, the locked murderer may be the rare Bangkeli acid. Today I will share the unlocking process.

Time goes back to the end of March. A serious food poisoning case occurred at Baolin Tea House in Xinyi District, Taipei City. Not only did it take two lives, but more than two weeks after the incident, four people are still in a tug-of-war with death in the intensive care unit, plunging the entire Taiwanese people into a state of panic. Food safety panic.

An unprecedented mystery, a patient who rapidly deteriorated and died in one day, the critical care staff of Taipei Mackay Memorial Hospital peeled off the cocoon and found out that the earliest suspect may be Bunkeric acid, which has never been seen in Taiwan, and successfully solved this case of great concern to the society. Food poisoning cases start investigating the source.

And all of this is due to the “sharp ears” and vigilance of Ma Kai’s medical care. Intensive care unit nursing team leader Ye Shumei shared at a press conference today that she vaguely heard the family members of the second patient mention that they had eaten Vietnamese rice noodles, etc. Because the course of the disease was too similar to that of the first patient, she quickly went back to find the family members. After questioning, they were shocked to find that not only had the two patients eaten rice noodles, but the most terrifying thing was that “they both ate them in Baolin.”

The conditions of the two patients were so similar that Wang Yiting, the on-duty critical care physician, called them “creepy.” She compared the cases and found that they were almost identical in terms of exposure history, blood test values, etc. Looking back, she had never seen anyone with the disease since she started working as a doctor. It can be so similar at the same time. Later, I learned in the news that this restaurant will close at the end of March. I couldn’t help but wonder, “Is the food poisoned?”

At noon the next day, Wang Yiting went to Su Yuzhang, director of the Toxicology Department of the Department of Emergency Medicine, for advice. Su Yuzhang focused on the keyword “ho fun” and quickly searched for documentary evidence in less than 2 hours. In the past, there were cases of ho fun poisoning in Guangdong, mainland China, and the culprit was bunkeric acid. He also held a meeting at the Ministry of Health and Welfare The discovery was reported at an expert meeting on the food poisoning case at Baolin Tea House, which brought a major breakthrough to the originally stalemate case.

Su Yuzhang used “slightly happy” to describe his mood when his guess was confirmed. He said that although everyone can’t see the emotions of emergency doctors, after all, no matter how sad they are, they still have to cheer up. Even if the prediction has been accurately predicted, there is only a little happiness. Hope This can help food safety incidents end faster.

He also said that bunkeric acid is a rare toxin in the world and is unheard of in Taiwan. It is usually produced by Burkholderia gladioli. According to the literature, the mortality rate caused by bunkerlic acid is 40%. Above, Taiwan’s current fatality rate is only 6%, which shows the high level of medical technology.

Wang Yiting shared that she felt a little heavy when she found out the result of the test for bonucleic acid, because she thought, “This is a disaster for the whole family.” This time, we were able to identify the type of poison early and relied on the cooperation of the medical team.
