Before starting ad treatment of parasites, it is important to accurately determine which species is present in the body. It is necessary to find effective methods of treatment, as most medications developed specifically to get rid of hell of a certain type of worms.
Or are worms protozoa
O'clock to hear the phrase that the patient is infected with protozoa worms. You need to understand that the simplest one is exclusively of unicellular microorganisms in extreme cases – organized colonies. But they are never multicellular as worms, and worms.
In the simplest of all the processes occur within the cell cytoplasm and cell nuclei, in an hour like in worms anatomical organization is much more complicated: they have differentiated organs that perform special physiological functions. Therefore, to classify worms and easiest fundamentally wrong.
Hours called helminths protozoan parasites in comparison to insects: bedbugs, lice, etc., as the latter are much higher on the evolutionary ladder. In this sense, called worms protozoa allowed.
- Symptoms, treatment and prevention of sarcocystosis in humans.
- Are there black worms in humans.
- How are the eggs of the worms.
The most common parasites
Yes, the most common endoparasites are, of course, helminths (worms), which, according to various estimates, infected more than 80% of the partisans of the planet.
A huge number of these parasites are divided into basic types:
- nematodes – round worms (roundworm, pinworm, Trichinella, whipworm, etc.);
- cestodes – tapeworms (lantecy, pork and beef tapeworm, tapeworm, etc.);
- trematodes – worms-flukes (liver, blood, lung, and flukes that live in the intestines).
Hours to get a more General classification, according to which all types of parasites people are divided into:
- luminal (intestinal), which are parasitic in the intestine;
- tissue, localized in other organs and tissues.
Consider a brief description of the most common types of worms.
Roundworms (nematodes)
- Roundworm – roundworms are the most common length ad 20 Yes 40 cm, parasites in the small intestine, but first migrate in the human body, affecting the blood and respiratory system. Together with the intestine of these parasites can be detected in the liver and gall bladder, heart and lungs. A common symptom of ascariasis and allergic reaction.
- Pinworms – small worms Yes 1 cm, which affects the bowel and that lead and enterobiasis disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, exhaustion, sleep disorders, etc. the Characteristic symptom of pinworms is itching in the anus, where they lay their eggs.
- Trichinella – these microscopic worms (their size only a few millimeters) lead to serious diseases – trichinosis, which can if untreated lead to death. Adult species live in humans in the muscles (respiratory, face, etc.), causing muscle pain, fever, swelling, allergic skin rash.
- Vlasoglavy – small worms (length and 4.5 cm, with the front part of the whole
in the form of threads), the larvae of which cause trihozefalez with diarrhea, acute abdominal pain and other symptoms that resemble appendicitis. As a result of intoxication anemia.
Tapeworms (cestodes)
- A tapeworm whose length comes a Yes 10 m, leads to the development of difillobotrioz with nausea, weakness, vomiting, unstable chair, asthenia and anemia.
- Pork tapeworm may length ad 3 Yes 8 m, a parasite mainly in the small intestine and causes two diseases: taeniasis with dyspeptic, asthenic-neurotic and abdominal syndromes, and cysticercosis with intoxication, intestinal, allergic and respiratory symptoms. According to ad localization cysticerci affects the muscles, brain, heart, eyes, etc.
- Beef tapeworm whose length may reach 18 m Yes, causes the beef tapeworm infection is one of the most dangerous types of worms. If you do not do deworming, he can live in the human body and 18-20 years! Is localized in the large intestine, causes severe intoxication with their waste products, as well as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anemia, allergic reactions and problems with the nervous system.
- Dwarf tapeworm length of only 1.5-5 cm source gimenolepidoz with diarrhoea, pain and astheno-neurotic syndromes, hell which affected primarily the digestive and nervous system, and liver.
- Echinococcus is the most fractional tape worm – its length is from 2, 5 to 8, rarely 9 mm, however, the infection they may threatening consequences such as liver and lung, where they form cysts and tumors which cause dysfunction of these organs.
Worms, flukes (trematodes)
- Liver Fluke or the liver Fluke is shaped like a sheet with a length of 30-50 mm and a width of 8-13 mm, may sucker. It damages the sheath of the liver and clog the bile ducts that is able to completely block the flow of bile. Can lead to cirrhosis, jaundice and liver cancer.
- Cat (Siberian) - sucker or cat Fluke, a flat worm with a length of 4-13 mm. Localization – the ducts of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. Causes opisthorchiasis with the development of gastritis, peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, cholecystitis up and cancer of the liver, which can lead to death.
- Lung Fluke may ovate, red-brown a h small spines length ad 7,5 and 12 mm with a width of 4-8 mm. Affects the lungs, causing inflammation, pleural effusion, focal fibrosis, and lung cancer. When the penetration into the brain causing encephalitis and meningoencephalitis.
- Shistosoma (blood flukes) – dioecious worms with a size of 1-2 cm, the eggs of which cause an increase in liver, spleen and lymph nodes, the formation of polyps in the intestine, diarrhea, and granulomatous inflammation that cause and bladder cancer.
The diseases that they cause
The most dangerous parasites that live in the human body, can provoke a variety of diseases. Very often the illness that provoked specific parasite bears the same name as him. Thus, various types of parasites in humans can cause the following diseases:
- certain parasites in man (flukes) trematode provoke;
- the cestodosis occur when you lose tapeworms;
- if an adult or child in the intestines are the round worms, nematodes that diagnose;
- leeches cause hirudins;
- Arctocephalus provoke skrebni.
However, parasites in Celje person can attack one organ. Based on the hell of the localization of the parasites in the human body identify the following parasitic diseases:
- With the defeat of the eye may be onchocerciasis, demodicosis, cysticercosis, and myiasis;
- Diseases of the digestive tract that cause single-celled parasites and helminths – ascariasis, trichinosis, hookworm, antirabies, intestinal myiasis and metagonimus;
- Brain diseases – echinococcosis, toxoplasmosis, and cysticercosis alveococcosis;
- Dermatological disease – demodicosis, pediculosis, scabies, pulicosis, trombitas, ftiras;
- Lung pathology – hydatid disease, ascariasis, acariasis, alveococcosis, tomingas etc.;
- Diseases of the liver opisthorchiasis, alveococcosis, echinococcosis, clonorchiasis a;
- In the mouth, the ears and mouth parasites can cause various types of myiasis;
- Pathology of heart – dirofilaria and hydatid disease;
- Diseases of the genitourinary system – alveococcosis, urate miaz, echinococcosis;
- The pathology of vessels – filaretos and schistosomiasis.
Flat worms
Flat worms, or flukes (trematodes), have a characteristic leaf form of the whole. Their structure is very well organized — they have a digestive, excretory and nervous system. Throughout the life cycle of their owners.
Widely used such kinds:
- Fluke Siberian (cat Fluke), or opisthorchis. The most common infection is through raw fish, which leads to the phenomena of phenomenon is quite dangerous disease opisthorchiasis. Reproduction of the parasites occurs very quickly, which can cause serious consequences. Worms are yellowish, and their length can exceed 12 m. Anchored in the human body, these parasites provoke internal bleeding, break bile flow, causing dysfunction of the pancreas. Dangerous effects: cholangitis suppurative type, ahilii, cholangiocarcinoma.
- Liver Fluke. Intermediate host are the representatives of the cattle, and man becomes infected by eating poorly handled hedgehog meat of dead animals. As a result of infection develops the disease fascioliasis. The size of these worms is relatively small (not more than 5-6 cm), but they can provoke the dangerous disease: hepatic abscesses, cholangitis, hepatitis. Through the blood of the larva of the parasite can spread throughout the body.
- Shistosoma. The worm can reside in the blood vessels, consuming blood components. As a result, his life may develop varicose veins, tumors. The main symptom — an intense General intoxication.
In the human body can detect a huge number of different worms-parasites, able to gain a foothold in various internal organs. They cause chronic diseases that can cause severe pathology. When phenomena alenn signs of helminth infections of any type you need to contact the doctor to start appropriate treatment.
Beef tapeworm
Beef tapeworm can reach a length of 12 m. and It is a hermaphrodite that can produce more than 100,000 eggs, they are excreted in the feces. The eggs get into the soil, then into plants, these plants have cattle. In the animal body, the eggs become larvae, which are localized in the muscles. If a person uses a hedgehog in contaminated beef, the larvae enter the intestine. Hell man, so man the larvae are not transmitted.
Adult worms have a head with four suckers, neck and the whole, consisting of segments. The number of segments is constantly growing, Mature segments can be separated hell the worm to crawl out of the man's intestines out.
Beef tapeworm
Symptoms of phenomena is nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, increased salivation, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, fatigue, abdominal pain of uncertain localization, allergies, fluctuations in appetite.
In order to bring the beef tapeworm from the body, a schema that consists of 3 stages: preparatory (cleansing the body), treatment with antiparasitic drugs, recovery (diet, herbal medicine).
Tape worms
Yes worms ribbon-type, or cestodes, are a variety of flat worms, the length of which can be Ada 2 mm and 10-12 m A such parasites may specific structure — multiple segments, neck and head with suction cups (hooks) for attaching to the scenes. The cestode is a hermaphrodite and the eggs are in the segments. Nutrients the worm sucks through the entire surface of the body.
There are the following common types of tapeworms:
- Alveolar. May cause cholangitis and abscess, but also spread to spleen, muscle and brain.
- Cepni, or salsera. Beef tapeworm excites disease beef tapeworm infection, and is usually in the small intestine. Seriously etnia complications — cholecystitis, intestinal obstruction, appendicitis. This worm is able to lead to such consequences: atrophy of the mucosa, glossitis Gunther, leukopenia.
Protozoan parasites
Toxoplasma gondii (Toxoplazma gondii) is a species of parasite, the primary host are cats. Also can be carried by warm-blooded animals and humans. A disease caused by Toxoplasma is called toxoplasmosis. The course of the disease easy, except for the defeat of captivity inside the mother's womb during pregnancy that creates etnia serious consequences for both the mother and for captivity, and even death.
Amoeba simple unicellular organism that is considered to be one of the first creatures that lived on Earth. Disease caused by amebae called amoebiasis. Intestinal infection, with a primary ulcerative lesion of the large intestine phenomenon with the advent of bloody diarrhea, a possible formation of secondary foci of intestinal, which may a tendency Yes chronic leakage.
Malaria parasites – the simplest single-celled creature in the cycle of development of which man is a time-host and mosquito – permanent. In the human body parasite Plasmodium is presented in 4 types:
- P. malarie – the four malaria;
- P. vivax — falciparum malaria;
- P. ovale — new faces ovale malaria;
- P. falciparum — tropical malaria;
The length of the interval between bursts depends on the type of pathogen. Besides all this anemia, because the parasite affects the blood cells erythrocytes.
Giardia — protozoan pear-shaped, which have two nuclei and four pairs of flagella. The main source is pigs and human beings. Giardiasis is a common disease with a primary lesion of the liver and small intestine. The disease can occur in mild or severe form.
Trichomonas – celled flagellated organisms are pear-shaped, causes the disease trichomoniasis, sexually transmitted and affect the genitourinary system. It is noticeable that sick men and women, but in men, the disease is usually asymptomatic.
Trypanosoma is a genus of unicellular flagellate protists. Cause severe disease trypanosomiasis, a deadly threat for human phenomena are the sleeping sickness. A carrier of trypanosomes phenomena are bedbugs, tsetse flies. In Celje host the parasite multiplies under the skin, then penetrate the lymphatic system and blood. The majority of pathogens is located in the spinal cord and brain, where it destroys cells and secrete their toxins.
