At present, the level of prevalence of diseases caused by diseases, parasites, remains high. Among children of preschool age and primary school most frequent infection of the pinworms. If in the family there is a child, in most cases infected and adults. Still one of the very common of helminth infection, which is found in the countries of temperate climate and spend is not always expressed by the sintomatologa, is the ascariasis. For adults, the passions, in those related to hunting and fishing, also are characterized by difillobotrioz and trihinellez.
Unlike children, adults immunity and has formed the body, so that the appearance of the symptoms of the infection of worms requires a higher parasitic load. The majority of helminths is not able to complete the whole cycle of development in the body, and their number only grows when it is re-ingests the eggs. Therefore, the people on the inside, there are worms, they often have in such quantities, that the symptoms of worms in man does not manifest never or many years. The most common types of worms live from several weeks up to two years. Others, for example, of pig, of bull and of other tsepni, can parasite in the interior of man for tens of years. There are also dangerous worms, which are not older people, but infinitely able to multiply in the body of a teacher (dwarfish tsepen, Ancylostoma etc).
Intestinal parasites caused by different types of pathogens that can be in the appearance of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, as well as the pathologies of the respiratory system.
General symptoms and signs of the worms in the man
In most cases, the symptoms of the worms in the man who for a long time with no symptoms, although the damage in this case, they put. But it all depends on the contagiousness of the load and the type of parasites.
It is more likely that the symptoms of the presence of worms in the man is the general malaise, fatigue, weakness, itching in the anal area.
The main reasons of the worms, which are particularly frequent, may become visible in human beings (especially a child), includes the acute loss of weight, anemia, weakness, paleness of the skin, digestive disorders (like constipation and diarrhea, the vomiting, the presence in the stools of signs, for example, the segments of tapeworms, or adult discussions.
In addition to the common signs and symptoms of worms in humans, its presence has a number of specific manifestations, which are individual to each system of the body.
The intestinal tract
If the main place of localization of worm invasions is the lumen of the intestine, the major characteristics of this condition is impairment in the functions of the digestive system. The main symptoms of the adult worms when it attacks the digestive system can be divided into:
- the alternation of constipation and diarrhea;
- nausea and vomiting;
- the pain in the stomach, which has no clear localization;
- the excessive bloating.
The degree of severity of the symptoms that is individual to each person, as well as the specific of a clinical case.
An excessive number of adult worms in the lumen of the intestine may cause its total or partial of the overlay, determining a persistent in disorders of the chair.
The central nervous system
The result of the vital activity of the majority of helminths is, and toxic substances that cause the common phenomenon of intoxication of the organism. Chronic exposure to toxic substances in the body leads to the formation of persistent violations of the central nervous system. The main nervous signs of helminth adults appear as follows:
- the headache of a various degree of intensity of the
- dizziness
- the feeling of nausea, sometimes vomiting
- the increase of the temperature of the body until the fever
- the pain in large and small joints.
The beriberi, which is a constant companion of helminth infection, in combination with the toxic effects on the nervous system leads to the formation of a syndrome of chronic fatigue, loss of concentration, as well as increased excessive sleepiness or insomnia.
The epidermis
Today, it is fully demonstrated that the worms and the allergy to adults combine the causal relationship. The individual that suffers from helminthiasis, sharply worsens the condition of the skin. The products of the vital activity of most helminths are perceived by the human body as an alien of agents, which leads to the formation of an allergic reaction.
As a result of the excessive elaboration of the main body of the mediator of the allergy of histamine, it is observed the appearance on the surface of the epidermis-specific eruptions, edema. In addition to this, the person starts to annoy the permanent sensation of itchiness, you may receive a cough, nasal congestion.
The immune system
Along with the drop in all functions of the organism occurs a drastic oppression of the defenses of the immune system of the person. The decrease of the body's defenses can lead to the aggravation of existing chronic diseases or to serve the cause of the formation of the inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the organs of the female reproductive system.
It is noteworthy that one of the possible causes of the appearance of the night, snoring may be the presence of worm invasions in the body.
The most common symptoms of helminth infection
Features of the clinical manifestations, as well as the degree of intensity is directly dependent on the type of pathogen. In the example, living with roundworms can observe the first symptoms of the adult worms already after 2 days from the time of infection during the migration of the larvae of blood flow. Some parasites have an incubation period of up to 18 months.
The ascariasis
The main symptoms living with ascarid adults is directly dependent on the phase of the life cycle of helminths. The migration of the larvae of the pathogens living with ascarid occurs beneath the tool of your step to stream and subsequent explosion of the power of the blood in the body. If the larvae enter the lung tissue, the symptoms of the disease may be called the emergence of a low-grade temperature, dry cough, weakness, general malaise. In severe cases, it is possible the development of suppurative bronchitis as well as pneumonia. When the current of the blood of the larvae Ascaris enter the intestinal tract, occurs a violation of their functions. The individual that suffers from parasites, there is a loss of body mass.
Enterobiasis
The most characteristic and manifests a symptom of this disease is the emergence of a strong itching in the anal area, that visibly intensifies during the night. Another important diagnostic of a symptom of the infection is the duration and the frequency of occurrence of itching. In this case, the itch lasts no more than 2 consecutive days, after which by itself disappears and appears again after 2-3 weeks.
Intestinal schistosomiasis, hookworm disease, richocephalosis, difillobotrioz
The combination of the data of the varieties of helminth infection is due to each one of them gives like box clinical. The result of moderate current (the relatively small number of parasites) of these diseases is the disturbance in the balance of normal and pathogenic microflora in the intestine, therefore, the main symptoms in adults are expressed in the form of disbakterioza, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea (including blood). When more difficult, the current symptoms much more serious.
Other manifestations of this group of helminths can be attributed to avitaminosis, In the 12 few and iron deficiency anemia, the deficiency of vitamin A.
Schistosomiasis (urinary)
The development of this type of schistosomiasis is manifested as disorders of urination, as well as characteristic of the impurities of the blood in the urine.
Trihinellez
Such a variation of helminth infection is more often manifests in the form of the following symptoms:
- the increase in body temperature to febrile state;
- the appearance of the swelling of the face, and especially of the eyelids;
- spontaneous pain in the muscles.
Strongyloidiasis
Cause of the infection is usually prétium intestinal. This type of worm invasions is characterized by the preference of the defeat of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The main symptoms of this disease are:
- the defeat of the gallbladder and biliary tract;
- dyspeptic disorder (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, diarrhea, flatulence);
- allergic reactions to varying degrees.
In clonorchiasis, fascioliasis, opisthorchiasis
Presented by the group of helminth infection affects mainly the parenchyma of the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. What is more likely is that the symptoms of the opistorhoze the adults will appear as follows:
- the increased size of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly);
- the increase of the concentration of bilirubin in the blood (jaundice syndrome);
- the development of chronic pancreatitis and in holecistoholangit;
- the violation on the part of the central nervous system.
In this article, we describe the symptoms and signs of part of the most common types of worms that infect the man. Some of the same, especially diseases intestinal parasites may have different the box clinical, which includes the increase of the parts of the body, the balls under the skin or in the eyes, partial and complete loss of sight with no return. Confirm or rule out the infection can only under the tool to pass through specialized laboratory tests that appoints care physician on an individual basis.
