The inner flora of people is an excellent environment for the habitat and active reproduction of microorganisms, which belong to the pathogenic group.The types of parasites in the human body are usually divided into two options - those whose finding is not felt and practically does not affect the general state of health, and those whose presence may be fatal.In the process of their life, they can not only negatively affect organs, but also release toxic substances that poison all living things.
Nematodes
Most of the parasites in the human body are the worms of the Nematodes group, diagnosed both in adults and in children.Parasites can differ from each other at the place of their localization (in the intestines, liver, in the heart and even in the brain department), size, life cycle and even the time during which they are inside the body.
The most frequent species of parasites - NEMATODEN are the following.
Pinworm
This microorganism parasitizes in the walls of the large intestine, while spreading the eggs of its future offspring outside the large or small intestine, for example, on bedding.Most often, this parasite is diagnosed in children.Worms cause itching in the anus, decreased appetite, grinding teeth in a dream and rapid fatigue.
The life cycle of microorganisms is about a month, and in size they reach 12 mm.The pinworms are very resistant to the external environment, the appearance of new species occurs already 6 hours after laying eggs.
Toxocara
These helminths live in the body of cats and dogs and fall into the internal environment of a person in contact with these animals.This type of intestinal parasites can reach 3 cm in length and be in all internal organs and vessels, without leaving out.
Askarids
Relate to the type of most dangerous infectious parasites in a person.They grow up to 3 cm in length and can live a long cycle.They penetrate all the organs of the system, actively breeding at the same time.
Trichinella
The parasitic invasion caused by Trichinella can lead to negative consequences: swelling, fever, dermatitis, stomach disorder and all kinds of allergies, including food.The main difficulty of detecting these helminths lies in their microscopic size, usually not more than 4 mm.The genol that lives in the intestines is able to penetrate the blood vessels along which through the bloodstream it spreads throughout the body and settles in any organ.
Trematodes
In the gastrointestinal tract of a person, trematodes also live quite often.They are distinguished by a flat shape and the presence of suction cups.These additional organs are necessary for them to suck the human organs in order to suck out useful substances from them.
The classification of parasites according to the type of helminths includes the Trematodes class, consisting of the following microorganisms:
- Opisthorchis is a simple parasitic worm that often lives in the stomach, gall bladder, pancreas and liver, which leads to the development of gastritis, ulcers and pancreatitis.The gut in any form as such is not much interesting to him;
- Strongyloid-intestinal Pretium, is a worm up to 2 cm long. It affects the gastrointestinal tract.The duration of his life is not great, but at the same time his activity manages to lead a person to asthma, gastrointestinal dysfunction, bronchitis, asthenia and other diseases.
Since trematodes have access to any organs and tissues of a person, their invasion is considered the most common and is difficult to treat.
These microorganisms devour a huge amount of tissues and blood, often disabled the circulatory system.
Cestodes
Among all existing parasites living in a person, the most dangerous are cestodes.The length of this helminth can reach 10 m. Thinking about what parasites live in the human body, it is difficult to imagine such a huge worm that is placed in the human body.They go inside mainly if you eat infected meat.
The following types of CESTODES are most common:
- Pork chain - grows up to 8 m long. Initially, the symptoms of invasion are not manifested, but in the future the activity of the pork tapeworm leads to the obstruction of the intestine.It is also possible to develop asthenia;
- Bull chain - can grow up to 18 m long. It provokes dangerous ailments for a person, among which anemia, intestinal obstruction, allergies, gastrointestinal disorders and, as a result, the nervous system;
- A wide tape - the length of this parasite reaches 8 m. One of the few parasites in a person who lives in the small intestine.Causes anemia, asthenia, problems with the digestive tract and intestinal obstruction;
- Echinococcus-is considered the most dangerous strip worm, the infection of which in the first stages is not manifested by any symptoms.However, too fast the spread of helminth in the body leads to the formation of tumors.
Proper
Thinking about what parasites are in the human body, do not forget about the possibility of infection with the so -called protozoa.This class of microorganisms has nothing to do with three groups of helminths, since it makes its own special parasitic species that lives in various human organs.
The protozoa belong to the class of endoparasites, which can be localized in almost any corner of the body.This species received its name for a simple structure, consisting of only one cage.Nevertheless, they are able to arouse various dangerous diseases in the human body.
The main types of parasitic protozoa:
- Trichomonas.Despite the presence of only one cell, they have a very complex structure.There are several types of parasites of this type, depending on the degree of localization: rotary, intestinal and vaginal.The most common infections that occur in the presence of this organism in the reproductive system.Often trichomonas lead to Prostatis in men.Affects the brain and nervous system;
- lamblia.Localized in the intestines.Lead to dysbiosis, gastrointestinal tract and general intoxication of the body.They are usually attached to the mucous membrane of the duodenum, where they actively multiply;
- amoebas.Capable of causing asthenia and disorders of the stomach, and also create intestinal obstruction;
- toxoplasmes.This parasite is very dangerous for a pregnant woman, as it can provoke a miscarriage in the early stages.In addition, toxoplasmes cause diseases of the eyes, nervous system and heart.
The special danger of infection of the human body with the simplest unicellular microorganisms is that in most cases a developing infection proceeds asymptomatic.
Ectoparasites
This type of parasitic microorganisms, such as Ectoparasites, makes up a separate group of dangerous infections.This class differs in that its representatives are localized exclusively on the surface of the human skin, but, nevertheless, are able to infect it with such dangerous diseases such as anthrax, typhoid, encephalitis, trypanosomussis and others.
It is not difficult to recognize the appearance of parasites from this group, since, as a rule, they cause noticeable discomfort to their master.The main consequences of their bites include the appearance of allergic reactions, itching and burning.
The main ectoparasites in the human body are:
- lice;
- ticks;
- blood -sucking bugs;
- Fleas.
You can cope with such microorganisms only with the help of special tools.In addition, as a rule, the sanitation of the room, bedding and clothing is required.Ectoparasites of an exotic species that can be picked up while traveling are very dangerous.The bites of some of them may be fatal.
Symptoms
The fight against parasites in the human body, regardless of the place of their localization, should be carried out comprehensively and in agreement with the doctor.Nevertheless, an important point is the correct diagnosis of infection with dangerous microorganisms.
Usually, the following are the following symptoms that the human body was subject to infection with parasites:
- constipation - is determined by the obstruction of the intestines associated with large sizes of worms.In addition, helminths are able to block the gallstones, causing painful discomfort in the lower abdomen;
- Frequent gas formation - usually caused by worms inside the small intestine.This also includes the so -called irritable bowel syndrome;
- Diarrhea - thinning of feces is caused by special substances secreted by some of the microorganisms.Too frequent liquid stool can talk about infection;
- Allergic reactions - usually occur on the life of the vital activity of microorganisms inside a person.Eczema and skin rashes are also possible;
- Pain discomfort in the joint and muscles.If this feature is manifested for no apparent reason, verification for parasites is required.Some of them prefer to live exclusively in articular fluids and muscles, and the pain is a response of immunity to the appearance of microorganisms;
- weights of weight, problems with appetite - associated with human poisoning with the products of the vital activity of parasites and a lack of glucose;
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disturbance, anxiety and irritability.It says more often that the body's resources are depleted due to the active activity of parasites within it.
There are many types of parasites that can settle in the human body.Most infections in the first stages are completely asymptomatic.However, the treatment of parasitic invasion in the early stages is considered the most effective and simple.
