Types of worms that affect the internal organs of the person called worms (worms). According to the statistics, today, worm of the invasion of the subject for approximately 30% of the total population. That poison the body the worms are capable of hitting with any part of the body. This is dangerous, not only of the diseases that can cause helminths. Its presence in the body can lead to death.
Today helminths very we try to not only medicated drugs, but and remedies. For each species has their own forms of treatment. Therefore, it pays to know and understand what are the types of worms, the symptoms, to take appropriate measures.
Classification of helminths
The parasitic worms are divided into two major groups: intestinal and tissue.
The first species that lives directly in the gut. To this group are:
- ascaride and ostritsy;
- hookworm and giardia;
- vlasoglavy and the dwarfish tsepen;
- bullish tsepen and the choice of lentets;
- swine tsepen.
Fabric worms can live in any organ of the human body and parasite over a period of many years. Them concern:
- cysticerci and trematody;
- Trichinella and liver Dens;
- Echinococcus and alveolar.
Ascaride
Are the most common and complicated worms that live in the gut of an adult or the body of children. The spread of this type of worm carries the name of the ascariasis.
Before entering the small intestine, the ascaride make the route around the body of an organism. After the infection of larvae of species penetrate into the circulatory system and then, along with the blood entering the lungs, where they mature.
In the early days of the invasion of the person begins to feel discomfort, nervousness, increased temperature, shortness of breath, cough, and pain in the chest area. These symptoms justify the fact that initially helminths affecting the respiratory system.
The infection may occur when the consumption of raw water sources is not reliable, poorly processed fresh fruits and vegetables. In summer, the risk of injury increases.
Ostritsy
Small helminths, which are established in the intestine, causing the disease under the name of enterobiasis. The worms lay their eggs in the area of the anal passage. Pending the eggs hatch into larvae and can re-enter the body only through the mouth.
Re-infection occurs by contact of dirty hands with the food that is consumed. The symptoms of the infection can be itching around the anus and increasing the irritability.
Important! Vector of the disease is the man.
hookworm
The infection occurs through damaged skin in case of contact with the earth where they live larvae of these species of worms. The data of the parasites, before they enter the intestine, they do the same route, as ascaride.
The symptoms of the injury may be cough, abdominal pain, nausea and violation of the chair. This type of helminth infection can cause anemia.
Giardia
Giardiasis is advanced to people who have the habit of nail biting, and other objects (pencils, pens). The infection can also occur in the case of consumption of water of poor quality, or unwashed products, in case of contact with dirty clothes, where you can find larvae, and the carrier of the disease.
The symptoms of the disease may be watery diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Vlasoglavy
trichocephalosis occurs in the period of the infection of the larvae of the whipworm. They penetrate into the interior, along with the accumulation of work in arrears in fruits and vegetables. Dirty hands and the water are also vectors.
Invasion accompanied by sharp stomach pains, diarrhea, decreased appetite. Often symptoms of the infection are similar to the symptoms of appendicitis.
Bullish tsepen
One of the most dangerous worms infect the colon. The adult worm reaches several meters in length. The kind you select the human body the nutrients and produces a strong intoxication.
The symptoms of infestation are:
- diarrhea and abdominal pain;
- vomiting and nausea;
- the restless dream;
- dizziness and fainting.
The risk of the disease, beef tapeworm infection occurs by the ingestion of insufficient processing of beef meat contaminated with larvae of bull tsepnja.
The choice of lentets
The cause of the emergence of the difillobotrioz is the consumption of foods bad processed fish products and caviar. The worm that causes the disease is one of the largest and can reach up to ten metres in height. The symptoms of the infection are advocating for a strong abdominal pain and the appearance of anemia.
Swine tsepen
The spread of this type of worm is extremely dangerous for human beings. The ingestion of pork, has not passed sufficient heat treatment process, can be the cause of the introduction in the body of finn, who is become adult to adult.
Body pork tsepnja periodically separate the so-called segments, which are able to exit by itself the body through the anus or in the stool, falling into the environment. Taeniasis is similar to the symptoms of the infection the bull had.
Liver Dens
Opisthorchiasis is caused by the introduction into the organism of the person of larvae, liver Fluke along with the infected fish.
Signs of the presence of opisthorchiasis:
- nausea;
- diarrhea;
- pains all over the body;
- the onset of allergies.
The more severe symptoms are a chronic form. This type of parasite dangerous in the development of liver cancer.
Echinococcus
The worm is installed in the body more often in the liver or in the lungs. Echinococcus is able to induce the formation of cysts in the affected organ and the occurrence of tumors. The infection can lead to death. You spend the larvae to person through contact with sick animals.
Trichinella
Them exposed in the first place, people who eat poorly treated in the meat of wild animals. Vector of Trichinella can also be a pig. The habitat of adult individuals in the human body are the different types of muscles (breathing, person, etc).
At an early stage is produce nausea, and watery diarrhea. Consequential symptoms of the infestation are the temperature, swelling, skin rashes, muscle aches. The spread of this type of parasites without timely treatment can be the cause of the death.
The symptoms of different types of worms
For the most part to contagion worms occurs the defeat of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract and the violation of their work. Some species of worms are the hooks, which cling to the walls of the intestines, take it, and are distinguished in that they have formed chains of products of their means of life and special substance that negatively affects the organs of digestion and triggers the onset of the men of his negative symptoms, such as nausea, which happens in the vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal distension and flatulence. May appear neurological signs, sleep disorders, irritability, due to the poisoning by toxic compounds from the products of the vital activity of the species of worms. The intensity of these manifestations depend on the duration of the invasion of the humans. For each one of the varieties of helminths characterised by its clinical picture. In order not to commit errors to determine the type, hit the patient parasites, one must examine in more depth the features that cause the most common of the disease:
- For most of the roundworms characterized by the appearance of pain, not with precision the place of the location, nausea and gag of desire, disorders of the chair. This type of worms, as ostritsy, mainly affects children, causes the emergence of a strong itching of the anal area. From the description of this class of parasites, this may indicate that for the clinical picture, caused by them, in the case of the arrival of the man the common symptoms expressed in the toxicoses and allergies;
- Infect people with the worm causes the onset of them dysuric disorders. For the acute form of the condition characterized by an increase in the size of the liver and spleen, and in the case of the transition of this variety of worm invasion in the chronic stage, the patient will receive bright, the symptoms of colitis;
- The presence in the organism of the person of the worms the trematodes is characterized by diseases of the liver, pancreatitis, and hepatitis. Also cause the appearance of symptoms associated with severe forms of neurological disorders.
What types of worms the children come from?
The most common in the child the worms, without the need of special tools, visible in the stool, are ascaride and ostritsy. These parasites affect children more often. Knowing that arise from the symptoms and picture exactly how they see their Mature of the species in the masses of faecal matter, in a timely manner, you can suspect their existence and to prevent the occurrence of violations irreversible in the human body.
In the stools of children can be found not only representatives of these types of worms, but also and tangles of worms. Their larvae may migrate with the blood stream, damaging the east wall of the lungs, bronchi, and vessels in case of penetration on the pancreas and the liver, are capable of causing pancreatitis or hepatitis. For the accurate diagnosis of children and adults is necessary to the study of cala, that must be revealed in the presence in it of eggs of parasites. But it is quite difficult, since the process of breeding these species of worms does not happen every day.
Types and treatment of deworming
The universal methods of the destruction of the parasites in the day of today does not exist. Approach in the treatment of worms the man is always strictly individual. It is possible the therapy medicated with drugs, surgery, or the use of popular methods. End of the tactic of therapy assigns a doctor after a thorough diagnosis and identification of the species infecting the worms. All therapeutic interventions on the destruction of helminthes, both for children as well as adults, should be designated only by the specialist. The medication in this case, it is expressly contraindicated. The therapy of helminth infection should be gradual and comprehensive way. Consists of the following steps:
- The preparatory stage;
- The removal of parasites;
- To restore the exercise of their functions.
In the initial phase, used sorbents, to help in the linking and deducing of toxins, which are assigned to the different varieties of worms, and vegetable oils. Then, you must start the reception of the prepared medicated, the destruction of parasites. In last place, patients are assigned of fermentation, the funds intended for the purification of the gastrointestinal organs. Help remove the dross, to leave caused by certain types of worms, the destruction of liver cells and accelerate the recovery of its structure.
In the case of the presence of parasites detected in the child, pass therapeutic courses of to get rid of them it is necessary that all members of the family. This will help to prevent the formation of a focus of infection of any kind of worms through the permanent of the infection to each other their eggs. Also in this situation, you should pay more attention to the celebration of sanitation procedures and compliance with rules of personal hygiene. Only when you comply with the rules in the short term get rid of parasites and prevent the spread of the infection.
The diagnosis of helminth infection
The results of the analysis of helminth
The diagnosis of helminth infection is quite complex and is based exclusively on the integrated approach of survey of the person for which you apply different laboratory methodology. All survey methods, which are used for the identification of helminths, are conventionally divided into three groups:
- Morphological diagnosis (study under the microscope pieces of tissue obtained during the biopsy or puncture of the different bodies);
- Clinical, immunological, and serological diagnosis (ultrasound of the other organs, ct scan, x-rays, blood tests, urine, of the rac, elisa, etc);
- Parasitological methods are the most informative and useful for the diagnosis of helminths, since they allow the detection of eggs, larvae, or worms, in different biological fluids, such as feces, urine, blood, gastric juice, bile, vomiting, scrapings, mucus, etc).
Morphological diagnosis is carried out on rare occasions, only when it is suspected worm infections, the parasites can be found in the thickness of the tissue, for example, cysticercosis, trihinellez, etc, Clinical, immunological, and serological methods are also used for the detection of helminths, located in the thickness of the internal organs (e.g., lung, liver, brain, etc). In the rest of cases for the diagnosis of helminths use a variety of techniques that enable you to establish the type worm, that caused the disease.
In the bulk of surveys for the identification of helminth infection always apply Parasitological of the methodology, and only after that, if there is suspicion of infection by parasites that are found in the thickness of the internal organs, also produce morphological diagnosis or used in clinical, immunological, and serological tests. Therefore, if it is suspected helminthiasis should, in the first place, to conduct a study in a specialized laboratory.
For the prevention of helminth infection, you must follow all the rules of personal hygiene, be sure to wash your hands before eating food, after going to the toilet or contact with animals, not to eat unwashed fruits and vegetables, semi raw meat or fish products. Avoid the consumption of water from open water bodies. Dispose of flies and other insects are carriers of the eggs of the worms.
