Parasites are perhaps one of the most unpleasant forms of life living in a person or animal body. It is not common to speak openly about it. Every mention of these pests often causes only a grimace of disgust on the face and disgust. People prefer not to think about their existence. You don't know where you come from and how you can get rid of you, but such a careless attitude can lead to irreparable consequences.
The scientists have long proven the fact that parasites cause a large number of far from the harmless diseases. In addition, the percentage of damage to the name of mankind is 95%critical.
Who are parasites and their varieties
It is generally recognized that parasites only live in the intestine, but this is anything but the case. In the human body, worms can be localized in many organs and systems - in muscles, blood, joints, eyes, brain and spinal cord. Above all, they are exposed to the stomach intestine tract, heart, liver and lungs.
There are many types of these pests.
In structure, they can be divided into three groups:
- Trematoden - worms (blood, lungs, liver, also live in the intestine);
- Nematoden - Round worms (Ascarides, pinworms, Vlasov)
- Cestoden - tapeworms (pork and bull master)
All of them can often be found in the human body, so we only look at the most common parasites.
Trematodes:
- Lungematoda-one egg-shaped shape, a red-brown body with small tips. It affects the lungs and causes inflammation, exudative pleurites, focal fibrosis and lung cancer.
- The liver trematoda or the liver bicarry in shape are similar to a sheet of 30 to 50 mm long and 8-13 mm wide. It damages the liver membrane and can completely block the bile gait, the bile duct. It can lead to cirrhosis, jaundice and liver cancer.
- Schistosomes or bloodstream worms in size 1-2 cm, the eggs of which lead to an increase in the spleen, liver and lymph nodes. It can lead to bladder cancer.
Nematoden:
- Tips - Small round worms with a size of up to 10 cm. A characteristic symptom of her presence is a serious itching in the area of the anus. The eggs of parasites often fall under the nails, which leads to a second infection.
- Askarides are large representatives of round worms. Your length can reach 40 cm. It can be transferred to another by one person. Infection occurs through water and food.
- Trichinella-in the human body falls due to an inadequate meat that a person consumed. The larvae enter the muscles from the intestine with blood flow, where they prefer to locate.
- Vlasovalov - Little worms whose larvae cause acute symptoms that resemble appendicitis. As a result of the poisoning of the body, anemia develops with the life of this pest.
Cestoden or tapeworms:
- Bull Teken - the length can reach 18 m. It is considered one of the most dangerous types of worms. It is localized in the large intestine and causes severe poisoning with products of your life, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, allergies and problems with the nervous system.
- Echinococcus is the smallest strip lunist in the size of no more than 9 mm. The infection influences the liver and lungs with a high risk of developing cysts and tumors.
Symptoms of parasites in humans
It is not always possible to feel the presence of worms in the body when it has a sufficiently strong immune system, which can initially withstand the rush of pests. He will be healthy for some time. Afterwards, however, the immunity will remove and the body begins to give the first signals that report the presence of uninvited guests.
Every type of pest has a different location and can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the position in the human body. And yet there are those among them that are common to all types:
- Colon disorders are one of the obvious signals of the presence of worms. It can be pain in the stomach, diarrhea or, vice versa, bloating, all the difficulty lies in the fact that these signs often refer to many other possible stomach -intestine diseases that are not complicated by the presence of parasites.
- A high need for sweet - after all, it is a very high and nutritious environment for parasites.
- Regularly low fever. At the same time, there are no symptoms of another disease.
- Anemia - the human body stops gripping nutrients, especially iron.
- Allergies - suddenly disappearing and disappearing rash, which is treated poorly with special medication. The reaction can also be stronger - bronchospasm or pulmonary edema.
- Lose weight or weight gain - the reason in the body's struggle is hidden with parasites against nutrients that are not sufficient. A number of overweight occurs due to a constant feeling of hunger
- Pain in muscles and joint viewers due to the movement of parasites over the body and the occurrence of muscle infections;
- Grinding the teeth is also a fairly bright sign of an infection. This is the reaction of the nervous system to a certain stimulant;
- The deterioration of the immunity and human body wastes many resources for combating pests, which is why diseases that are difficult to diagnose.
Reference! If infections enterobius appears unbearable itching in addition to other symptoms in anus. This is because females crawl out of pinworms at night to lay eggs, which can lead to a strong burning.
The occurrence of such symptoms individually or overall should draw attention and make him think about the possible damage to helminths. The earlier to diagnose your presence, the less damage to the body causes the body due to delayed treatment.
Opportunities to enter the body
It is traditionally assumed that it will only be infected by dirty hands with parasites. This is not entirely true because the worms of worms are widespread everywhere. For example, animal coat is a carrier of worms and Lamblia. Dog flies also tolerate worm eggs.
Askarides can enter the body through unwashed fruit and vegetables, herbs and dirty hands. Wrongly cooked meat, without adequate workmanship - a direct path to infection with trichinellosis and not enough salty fish, sushi - to opisthorchiasis and diphylobothrium Latum.
Incidentally, all infection methods can be divided into:
- Contact-household-from people to humans, from animals or household items;
- through blood -sowing insects;
- Active - if the larva penetrates through the skin or mucous membranes during bathing in reservoirs, contact with infected soil;
- Dowable - through food, water, unwashed hands.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis for determining parasites must be carried out prophylactically, even if no obvious symptoms are found. If the infection with worms is suspected, it is all the more important to clarify the type of pest and confirm its presence for the appointment of a suitable treatment.
The diagnostic methods include:
- Vegetative resonance tests are a rather expensive research method, but very precisely. Allows you to determine the type of pathogen.
- Blood studies for enzymes - antibodies and antigens are recognized that are only generated by the body when damage to parasites. It is also a fairly expensive method, but enables you to determine more than 150 helminths.
- Studying feces for eggs from worms is not very informative, but the cheapest way. It is recommended to carry out three times for several days.
In order to clarify the diagnosis, ultrasound, endoscopy, enterobiasis and a general blood test can also be carried out.
Treatment of parasites
If the presence of parasites in the human body has been confirmed due to the diagnosis, the doctor selects a comprehensive treatment scheme, taking into account the type of pests. It is necessary to act comprehensively and to get rid of both the symptoms of damage and the parasites themselves. This is the only way to get rid of helminthen completely and restore the work of the immune system.
Drug treatment
A prerequisite for treatment is the use of anti -parasitic drugs. Depending on the diagnosis, the dosage and treatment scheme is determined by a doctor.
Important! It is necessary to use chemicals against worms only after consultation with a specialist. This group of drugs has a disadvantage on the liver and can lead to serious complications!
Preparations are also used that relieve an allergic reaction and remove poisoning.
