Parasites in the human body – symptoms and treatment

Parasitic disease is a disease caused by protozoan, helminth, and insect. According to statistics, from infestations suffers each fourth inhabitant of the planet. In Russia every year there are approximately 1.5 million cases of infection by the parasites.

Parasitic diseases

The infection could be the use of contaminated water, vegetables and fruits, vegetables, buying meat and fish in "illegal" places where there are certificates of veterinary inspection, when communicating with your pets. The danger of pest infestations that, in the absence of treatment occurs, with the slow destruction of the body.

The types of parasites in the human body

The parasitic organisms in the body of a man, covered in real and fake. The first group refers ossiuri, giardia and other parasites, for which parasitism is essential to existence; in the second of those that accidentally fall in the body and begin to parasitize.

Each of the pathogenic microorganisms has devices that allow you to get a foothold in the human body. This sucker, lp, teeth, hooks, which constantly damage the mucosa. Having microscopic or large, will destroy the useful bacteria, poisoning the body of waste, and suppress the immune system.

The symptoms of parasites in the human body

Because of the variety of mechanisms and causative effects of the parasites on the body symptoms can be similar in infectious and surgical diseases. Therefore, for the formulation of a definitive diagnosis of medicine you need the lab results.

The doctors highlighted are the syndromes typical of infection of helminth and other parasites. We list some of the most brilliant of them.

Allergic

  • The itching ;
  • The symptoms of hives;
  • The development of pseudo-allergy after treatment of the water, the sun, the consumption of soft drinks, desserts and bakery products;
  • Arise spontaneously, and decreasing attacks of bronchospasm;
  • Perianal itching, perioral dermatitis, cheilitis;
  • Hair loss;
  • The febrile illness;
  • Education pustular eruptions of the skin.
The causes of the emergence of parasites

Gastrointestinal

In the chronic of all.

  • Nausea, vomiting;
  • The rapid weight loss;
  • Diarrhea or intestinal obstruction;
  • The lack or decrease in appetite;
  • Pain during the movement of the tongue;
  • The development of pain in the near-tube flow and the mouth of the sectors;
  • The inability to consumption of fats;
  • Increased salivation;
  • An enlarged liver.

Astenovegetative

Occurs when the infection of the toxocariosi, hymenolepiasis, and cysticercosis, trichocephalosis.

  • Sleep disorders;
  • Irritability and fatigue;
  • Anemia anemia, iron-deficiency;
  • The deterioration of performance in a context of decline in memory, attention;
  • The instability of the blood pressure;
  • Headaches;
  • Symptoms meningeal.

The causes of the appearance of parasites in the human body

The infection from the rest is the result of a lack of hygiene or violation of technology of preparation of the dishes. A list of the main causes of the emergence of parasites:

  • The use of dirty vegetables, of fruit, of boiling water;
  • The poor preparation of the food;
  • The non-observance sanitary-hygienic rules, the employees of catering, the sellers;
  • The contact with the animals;
  • A touch of the handles, areas, doors, handrails in the means of transport;
  • Swimming in infested waters sistemami;
  • The presence of flies in the apartment, house;
  • The work with the earth, or manure without the use of gloves, sandbox game.

The main sources of infection parasites

Pest management occurs by direct contact or orally. Through the mouth parasites can enter the body in two ways: through dirty hands, products, or eating poorly heat-treated meat or fish, which are infected by parasitic worms.

The parasites in the fish

  • Opisthorchiasis. Media: cyprinids. Fluke lives in the liver, the pancreas, causing the increase of the temperature to 40 degrees, intolerance to fat, vomiting, pain in the right hypochondrium. The symptoms occur after 2-3 weeks. Opisthorchiasis last for years, which affects the internal organs.
  • Clonorchiasis. Support – fish, which live in the waters of China, Korea, the Siberian border. The symptomatology is similar opisthorchiasis.
  • Difilloʙotrioz. Support – the far east fish. Symptoms: abdominal swelling, nausea, salivation, unstable chair, salivating.
  • The antacids. Support: herring (North sea amazed by 55-100%), cod, salmon. Inside of the body strikes you when you consume raw fish. Symptoms: diarrhea, skin rash, ulcer of the intestine.
  • Ligules. Support: carp. For the man is not dangerous, if the pathogen remove, and the fish subjected to heat treatment.
The parasites in the fish

Parasites in the meat

  • The Trichinella spiralis. The path of infection – the flesh of wild animals or pork. The larvae with the blood fall in the muscles, causing pain in them, swelling of the face, skin rashes, allergic in nature.
  • Beef tapeworm infection. Support – cattle, route of infection – the consumption of beef, that is subjected to minimum heat treatment. The symptoms are: constipation, quick weight loss.

Parasites of plants, fruits of the forest

  • Alveococcus from multilocularis. Man is infected through washed berries, or dirty hands.
  • Geohelminth Ascaris. Characteristics of infection: ingestion of eggs and unwashed fruit and vegetables, drinking non-boiled water. Symptoms: cough and manifestations of allergy, intestinal obstruction.
  • Ancylostoma duodenal. The larvae of the parasite with the soil fall to the inside of a person swallows it with vegetables and fruits. The parasite feeds on blood, which injures the mucosa of the small intestine, causing inflammation.
  • Balantidium coli. Storage media – pig, sometimes dogs and rats. Often, they get sick, the inhabitants of the countryside.

Parasites in the water

  • Dracunculiasi. Storage media – crustaceans Cyclops. Enter the body with the evil of purified water. The parasites are released after the digestion of crustaceans in the stomach. From there, the worms fall in the subcutaneous fat fibre. After a year, the female of the parasite the form of a million and mature larvae. The end of head suitable to the skin, forming water bubble within the first 10 cm To relieve the itching and burning sensation, the man plunges the affected area and the water, which causes the release of parasites and the beginning of a new cycle of development.
  • Gnathostoma spinigerum. The infection occurs when the drink does not disinfect the water, of the abuse of the flesh of frogs and fish. Symptoms: skin swelling and itching, increase of temperature, it is possible to defeat the eyeball. The disease has a recurrent nature.

The modern methods of diagnosis of parasites

Helminth living in the intestine, are detected during the search of the stool: coprogram, scrape his backside, the method of enrichment. If the doctor suggests paragons, for the analysis take the mucus, urine - in case of suspicion of urogenital schistosomiasis. The reliability of these methods is only 15-20%.

We list frequently used, modern types of searches, specifying their advantages and disadvantages.

  • Macro - and microscopic research cala. The effectiveness depends on in which phase of development the parasite. Of the deceased pest note is very difficult, so the parasite has to enter a laboratory alive.
  • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. For the presence of antibodies and antigens in helminth with certainty in the 60-80% determines the type of parasites, the number of them.
  • Histological coprogram. The study of the faeces, which lead to the detection of the parasites or parts of their body with the help of powerful microscopes.
  • Ultrasound, x-ray and computed tomography. Identifies the changes of the internal organs.
  • Bio-resonance diagnostics. Takes a frequency spectrum, which emit helminth. Detects parasites in all stages of development, indicates their location. The authenticity of 75-95%.
  • Gemo-scan. The analysis of the blood cells, complaint for the presence of nonspecific substances and elements that indicate the presence of helminth.
  • Serological methods (reaction ring-precipitation, indirect hemagglutination, enzyme-labeled bodies-the association of the compliment, the agglutination of the latex). It is based on the detection in blood of specific antibodies.
  • Laboratory testing of muscles, sections of skin and blood. The biopsy and the digestion of muscles. You can locate inside of the muscle fibers the larvae of trichinella.
  • The analysis of the content of the duodenum. A faction of the detection, during which 3 portions of bile from the 12 duodenal ulcer. Last about 1.5 hours. For analysis, send you still not chilled bile.
  • The research of urine. Allows you to detect helminth, parasites in the urogenital system.
The effect of parasites on human health

The effect of parasites on human health

The parasites deprive the body of vitamins and trace elements, kill the blood cells – white blood cells and red blood cells, leaving the man alone the toxic waste of his life. This results in the development of an allergic reaction and slagging of the intestine and of the liver, the deformation of these or other organs, the "chronic fatigue syndrome".

Overall, the impact of parasites on health can be divided into mechanical, toxic, immune, and food. We list the most dangerous for the man of the violation:

  • Peritonitis arising from the suction of the parasites to the walls of the intestine and the appearance of ulcers.
  • Intestinal obstruction caused by a buildup of tangles of parasites.
  • Violation of trophic tissues, and organs, has resulted in the compression of parasites of the blood vessels.
  • Beri-beri, which slows down growth and the process of weight gain.
  • Violation of protein metabolism, is connected with the violation of the flow of biochemical processes.
  • Disorders of the menstrual cycle, colpitis in women, infertility, prostatitis in men.
  • Perhaps the development of pneumonia, asthma, diabetes, diseases of the joints.

The treatment of parasites in the human body

Treatment helminth provides for the assignment of specific anthelmintic medicines. The pharmacological industry produces a lot of drugs, belonging to different chemical groups. Folk remedies can also help fight the disease, but you need to keep in mind that they do not take account of your personality, as the patient, presence of comorbidities.

Enema: 2 litres of produced water with 1 tablespoon of chamomile, after the cooling of the broth, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and sea salt.
  • The triad by parasites. Triad call it an anti-parasite collection, which includes the green shell of walnut, cloves and wormwood or tanaceto, wormwood and cloves (according to the method Ivanchenko). Contraindications: children, pregnancy, diseases of the GASTROINTESTINAL tract, intoxication of the organism, the immune deficiency.
  • Feverfew by parasites. The bitterness of tanaceto is an antagonist of the worms and giardia. Here is his recipe: 20 grams of raw materials pour a liter of boiling water, hour insist. Adults take 1/2 tbsp three times per day before eating, children – 1 tablespoon. l.
