Not a single person is safe from infection with helminthiasis, there is no immunity and vaccinations from this disease, so everyone can become infected, and even for some time not suspects the presence of a disease.Most often, school and preschool children are infected.They cause fear of worms living on trees, spiders and other beetles that look terrifying in appearance, but do not harm a person.
In children and adults, damage is noted with such worms and microorganisms:
- Trichinelles.
- Ascarids.
- Echinococci.
- Pinworms.
- Liver sugar.
- Ankylostomas.
- Toxoplasmes.
- Lamblia.
- Wide tape.
- Blacians.
- Bull, dwarf and pork chain.
The bulk of people believe that parasitic worms settled precisely in the intestines and affect the digestive system, but this is not so.Some types of parasites are able to migrate through the body and damage internal organs, influence the development of children and their central nervous system, so we consider all types of worms living in humans.
Speakers
This is a small parasite (5-10 mm) with a gray body.Prefers to live in the intestines.If there is a disease in the body, a disease under the name Enterobiosis occurs.It can be infected with the non -compliance of hygiene rules, since the eggs of these worms penetrate the body through the mouth. The samks lay eggs in the area of the anus, which causes severe itching.
The patient combs this area, which is why the eggs are on the skin of the hands and under the nails.In a sexual individual, the worm develops after 2 weeks.Helmint life expectancy is about two months.During this time, the patient’s activity of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted, and the more parasites accumulates in the body, the more intensively the symptoms of enterobiosis are manifested.They are the following phenomena:
- the presence of itching in the anus (in female patients, it can affect the genitals);
- sleep problems (insomnia, intermittent sleep);
- impurities of blood or mucus in feces.
These features indicate infection with pinworms.In the absence of treatment, the patient is weakened, since parasites prevent the absorption of nutrients.This affects performance and immune system.
Askarids
This variety of worms differs in size, the body length can reach 40 cm. The optimal place of their habitat is the small intestine, but sometimes they are found in the heart, liver and lungs.Moving around the body of the owner, ascarides can damage the internal organs.Due to the presence of people, allergic reactions are developing, violations in the digestive tract, internal bleeding is also possible.For children, these parasites are especially dangerous because they slow down the development process.Invasia develops due to dirty foods and unwashed hands.
Because of this, the patient may begin to start a cough and attacks of suffocation.The life expectancy of an adult helminth reaches a year, and during this time he can significantly harm a person.Its presence in the body is indicated by such symptoms as:
- nausea;
- anemia;
- skin rashes;
- Incomination of infectious diseases due to reduced immunity.
Anquilostoma
In this case, infection occurs through the skin or when swallowing larvae.With blood, they can be in the lungs and heart, but prefer the small intestine.Anquilostomes live for about 4 years, causing ankylostomosis.
His symptoms:
- fever;
- increased salivation;
- Eosinophilia.
Manifestations of pathology occur at the neglected stage of invasion, when a large number of helminths accumulate in the body.The initial stage is characterized by an asymptomatic course, due to which it is possible to detect a pathology by accident.
Vlashev
These worms prefer to be in the colon, fastening to its walls and eating blood.It differs in small sizes (3-5 cm) and very high toxicity.If the parasite penetrates the cecum, then this leads to appendicitis.The owner enters the body through the oral cavity.In the egg stage, the Blazoles moves through the body with a blood flow, but adults live only in the colon.
The duration of his life is about 5 years.With its ability to secrete toxins, the Vlasovs can greatly harm the body.The problem is that it is very difficult to diagnose, since the initial stage in the development of invasion is complete without pathological symptoms.With the progression of the disease, there can be observed:
- nausea;
- headache;
- dizziness;
- diarrhea;
- Convulsions.
TOKSOKARA
These helminths live in the body of dogs, but they can live in a person.Infection occurs in contact with a sick animal.The genol can reach a size of 15-30 cm, although this does not happen in the human body.These worms in humans live only in the form of larvae.They actively move through the body, provoking the development of allergies and damaging the internal organs.
Trichinella
It belongs to the number of microscopic, since its dimensions do not exceed 5 mm.Nevertheless, trichinellosis can develop because of it, at which the temperature rises and the symptoms of fever appear.You can get this invasion by using meat that was not correctly cooked.Without the necessary heat treatment, pathological microorganisms located in meat do not die and penetrate the human body.
Dwarf tabbell
This representative of the strip worms is characterized by small sizes-only 1.5–5 cm. Infection occurs when an insect-carrier is bite.Eggs of the dwarf tapeworm reach the small intestine, where they ripen to the stage of the larva, after which it affects the liver or gastrointestinal organs.Also, this helminth can affect the functioning of the nervous system.Signs of such invasion are:
- worsening appetite;
- nausea;
- nervousness;
- headache;
- conjunctivitis;
- Allergic reactions.
Wide tape
Because of this, helminth develops dipillobotriosis.Its dimensions can reach 15 m. Infection begins with the use of freshwater fish, which has not passed sufficient heat treatment.Eggs of worms penetrate into the intestines, where they develop to adults.
Their life is about 25 years old.The presence of these helminths in the body leads to exhaustion and weak immunity, due to which infection can develop again.Pathology indicates such features as:
- severe abdominal pain;
- problems in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- anemia;
- allergy;
- Fabric necrosis.
Pork tapeworm
This type of invasion occurs if a person eats infected pork.These worms can have a body length of 8 m. They prefer to parasitize in the intestines.Life expectancy is more than 10 years, and during this time helminth causes great damage to the owner of the owner.Because of it, intestinal obstruction occurs, exhaustion of a nervous and physical nature, and the immunity is very weakening.If it has it, the following deviations are observed:
- allergic reactions;
- disorders in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- anemia;
- pathology of the nervous system.
Bull Taper
It is one of the largest parasites, reaching the size of 18 m. People are infected with these worms when using incorrectly prepared beef.With this invasion, the risk of damage to the walls of the small intestine and toxins poisoning is high.In a bull tapeworm, life expectancy can be several years.It is especially dangerous that several adults can live in the human body.
You can find a pathology according to the following signs:
- Strong pain in the abdomen;
- bad appetite;
- stomach disorders.
Echinococcus
For these worms, a person is an intermediate host, adult individuals live in dogs and cats.People are infected in contact with animals or when using dirty vegetables and herbs.Despite the fact that only larvae can live in a person, even they can cause a serious disease - echinococcosis.It affects the internal organs, provoking the growth of cystic formations.The presence of echinococci in the body give out such features as:
- severe pain in the upper abdomen;
- skin rashes;
- hives;
- chills;
- Signs of fever.
Askarids
Askarides belong to the most common parasitic worms.They enter the class of round nematodes, have medium -sized body size and body length up to 40 cm, depending on the floor, because males can reach a maximum of 25 cm in length.After puberty, parasites mate and lay off, about 200,000 larvae per 1 time.
Then the offspring of worms penetrates the intestinal mucous membrane, overcomes the intestinal wall, and then, falling into the bloodstream, the parasites move throughout the body: the heart, light, but when they fall into the trachea, they provoke the occurrence of an insightful cough with spotting, which swallows and penetrates, along with helminths into the digestive tract.
Symptoms of ascariasis:
- Unreasonable cough.
- Yellowing of the eyeball and skin.
- Anemia.It appears when parasites use beneficial substances from the blood of the carrier and damage the vascular walls, causing micro -power.
- Vomiting and nausea arises, as a result of poisoning the body with products of the decay of helminths.
- Allergic manifestations signal the "enemy neighborhood."
In contrast to the pinworms, ascarides have large sizes from 15 to 40 cm. Eggs with larvae enter the digestive system, where they continue to parasitize until final maturation.Askarides live for about a year.When infected, a person suffers from abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, increased fatigue, allergic reactions.
Treatment
After detecting eggs in Kala's analyzes, the doctor prescribes drugs that are effective against a certain type of helminth.You should not self -medicate, since the drugs are highly toxic and negatively affect the internal organs.
Typically, to treat helminths is enough to take pills.In case of exacerbation of the disease and a large number of individuals, treatment with injections and infusions can be prescribed.
The basis of therapy for worms is taking specific drugs aimed at destroying a particular parasite.In the case of an adult treatment, medicines are usually prescribed in the form of tablets.
The choice of a particular tool and its concentration is always preceded by diagnostics.In the acute course of pathology, depending on the symptoms, drugs against allergies are additionally prescribed.Adult treatment is carried out at home, by taking prescribed drugs.
The independent prescription of drugs is not allowed, as they are toxic and have side effects.It is possible to use the means of widely used only with the permission of the doctor, since such tablets can be powerless against worms available in the body.
The negative impact of worms is most strongly reflected in pregnant women and children, especially against the background of inferior nutrition, a deficiency of vitamins.Long -term lack of treatment provokes a strong decrease in immunity, exposure to viral, infectious ailments, severe injury to the intestinal mucosa, dysbiosis, anemia, and sometimes the development of carcinogenesis - the formation of a malignant tumor.
The most common method of treating worms in humans is drug.Parasites tablets contain special substances to which parasites have high sensitivity.Most often, such drugs are recommended for the treatment of helminthiases (only a doctor prescribes a scheme and duration of administration).
Despite the severe course of diseases caused by helminths, there are many effective drugs that save the human body from all types of worms.The main feature of the tablets from worms is their increased toxicity, so the choice should take into account the degree of infection, the age of the person, concomitant diseases and the overall safety of the drug.Consider the most effective and safe tablets that help cleanse the body of helminthic invasions.
They treat worms in an adult by appointments and under the control of a doctor.Various tablets, drugs and other products from worms can be disappointing depending on the type of parasites.
Any of the drugs should be drunk only in the dosage strictly indicated by the doctor and not take them on your own.Do not even think to drink them for the prevention of worms, as these drugs are extremely toxic for the body.
It is best to follow the cleanliness of the products, the quality of fish and meat, their heat treatment, wash your hands before meals, bathe your pets.So do everything that will help reduce the risk of worms to a minimum, since it is ungrateful and unpleasant to be masters of these parasites, not to mention the fact that it is dangerous.
Helminth prevention
As a result of the absorption of nutrient juices by worms, the neurogumoral regulation and the processes of absorption of the intestinal mucosa are disturbed.This is fraught with hypovitaminosis, anemia and other disorders.
- A person becomes ascaridosis by eating dirty vegetables, fruits and berries.
- Difillobotriosis - by eating poorly salted fish caviar, raw or poorly chilled fish: perch, pike, omuli, grayling, etc.
- Enterobiosis-in contact with a sick person by means of oral-fecal (food) and contact-household ways of infection.
- Worms develop in acute (15-60 days) and chronic stage, 30-60 days after acute helminthic invasion.Helmints are squeezed and mechanically injured are organs and tissues where they are located.
In the transition of helminthiasis to the chronic stage, a decrease in resistance and immunity is reduced, therefore, many are ill with infections: fungal, viral and bacterial.Due to the presence of worms, a person risks getting through oncology of organs where helminths are deployed.
Helminthosis is a common disease.Children most often suffer from him, but cases of infection of adults with worms are also not uncommon.This pathology causes great inconvenience and leads to serious consequences.Therefore, it is very important to understand how to diagnose the problem and how to eliminate it.To do this, it is necessary to take into account many circumstances, and especially the type of helminth, which penetrated the body.
Parasites of different types are distinguished by their symptoms and danger level.Therefore, it is worth considering the types of worms in humans and their main features. There are a lot of worms.Most of them are characterized by adaptability to the existence of only one species in the body of the owners (in some animal or in humans).
This means that other species of animals cannot suffer from such an invasion, since the parasite in their body will die.Therefore, there are many helminths that are harmless to people.At the same time, there are also many dangerous worms and microorganisms.To understand what to be afraid of, you need to find out what worms that settled in the human body are.
