Elminthosis is the most common disease on the planet.Parasites lived even before our existence and easily adapted to any climate change.
Some parasites in the human body are adjacent to us throughout our lives and do not cause great health problems.But most species destroy the guest body and cause various pathologies.
The danger of elmintiasis for humans
Parasite agents multiply and live in the guest's body, causing significant changes in the body.This leads to the development of chronic diseases that constantly recur.
The location of parasites can be anywhere in the human body, but more often the helminths are deposited in the organs:
- Gastrointestinal tract
- In the joints,
- In the muscles,
- In the liver and kidneys,
- In the organs of vision,
- In the lungs,
- Blood system.
Most types of helminths prefer to live in the intestine, but with the acute invasion, the parasites are forced to migrate.Moving around the body, the parasites paralyze the organs found on their path.Migration can cause improper treatment with folk methods.
Domestic methods are based on the consumption of bitter herbs and substances that are not the taste of worms.The simplest is sent from the intestine in search of a more suitable environment for their life.
The body of a sick person is more susceptible to various diseases, the immune system loses its functionality. An infected person is more likely to suffer from viral and infectious diseases.
The human body reacts acutely to the remains of the vital activity of parasites.The victim has symptoms of intoxication, an allergic reaction is exacerbated.The processes that occur in the body after the infection are not a fleeting nature and a person may not notice a parasite agent for years.
Types of helminths
Parasites that cause a person's health problems are divided into three groups:
- The simplest or protozoa parasites.This group includes Toxoplasmosis, Giardia, Trichomonade.The protozoa are deposited inside human cells and, multiplying, destroy it.The method of transmission of families and sexuals.
- Elmininti - worms or larvae that settle inside the human body.Among the most common marked: Toro di Toro, Pinworms, Toxocar, Ascarides, Pinworms.Transmission methods: family, through insects, animals or dirty earth.
- Ectoparasites - Live out of the human body: ticks, lice, lichen.The main source of nutrition is human blood.The wounds appear on the skin, it died itching and wounds.The danger in various infections that spread: cheering, encephalitis.
The most difficult to treat and the diagnosis is the eliminous infection.It is important to recognize the signs of parasites in your body and know their main types.
Nematodes
In another way, nematodes are called round worms.He got his name because of the shape of the body.There are more than 45 varieties of nematodes within a person.The parasite differs easily through objects of personal hygiene and non -washed vegetables or fruit.The size of a round worm, depending on the variety, starts from several millimeters and ends with dozens of centimeters.
Among the most common round worms stand out:
- Suggestions - The main place of the habitat - the intestine of a person, the length of the worm up to 1 cm.When infected, a person manifests symptoms: violation of the gastrointestinal tract, tiredness, anemia, sleep disturbance.
- Askarides - The length of the worm reaches 30 cm, is able to migrate and settle in various parts of the body.When infected, a person manifests symptoms: an allergic reaction, anemia, asthma, dermatitis are exacerbated.Once in the eyes or liver, Ascarides can lead to serious diseases.
- Tricinella has a size of the worm only 2-3 mm, the main habitat is the intestine.When infected, it causes the following complications in one person: swelling, allergic reaction, violation of the digestive tract, fever.
- Vlashev - lives in the gastrointestinal tract, the size of an adult individual up to 4.5 cm.In a person, the parasite causes: anemia, weakness, body poisoning.
The severity of the disease is associated with the number of parasites in the body, their species and location.
Trematatodes
The Tremontodes have a flat body.All types of Trematodes have suction rugs with which they are fixed to the walls of the internal organs.Blood parasites feed
Useful substances and other secrets.In the human body, only parasitic adults.
Before the infection from a person, the Trematod passes an intermediate phase of his life in the body of another owner: in fish, animal, insect.The human body often enters together with badly treated foods.
Among the common species, the Trematodes are distinguished:
- Opistorch or Feline bacon - The body of the worm has a length of only 1-2 cm, the main location: the pancreas ducts, the gallbladder and the liver.A person causes diseases: gastritis, ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.Transmitted from animals to humans.Due to location in difficult places to reach, the parasite is difficult to diagnose.
- Strongigiloid or intestinal eating - small flat worm, up to 2 mm long.Set in the digestive tract.After the infection, a person manifests pathologies: anemia, asthma, bronchitis, asthenia, infertility.
All types of Trematodes easily migrate throughout the body, cause mechanical damage to the internal organs of a person.
Cestodes
Parasite strip, which deposits itself in the gastrointestinal tract of a person.The length of the Cestodes reaches several tens of meters.A person gets from an intermediate guest: a large animal: a cow, a horse.The larvae fall into the human body from the meat of bad animals, which a person eats for food.
Among the most common types of striped Worm stand out:
- Large Ribbon - lives in the subtle section of the intestine.In length it can reach 3-5 m.In humans, it causes diseases: anemia, intestinal obstruction, digestive disorders.
- Pork chain - settles in a person's intestine.In length, the striped worm reaches 7-8 m.The patient manifests himself: obstruction of the esophagus, intoxication, ciscose.
- The seagull rake is the largest of human parasites.In length, the worm can reach 18 m.A person has intestinal obstruction, excitability, allergies.
The larvae of all types of baskets are able to damage the internal organs and cause the appearance of a tumor.
Sources of infection
The main type of transmission of Elminiasis is the family.Among the possible sources of infection, they distinguish:
- Personal hygiene things: towel, toothbrush, comb, bed linen,
- Dirty hands,
- Toilets in public places,
- Meat or fish insufficiently transformed,

To prevent infection, you need to observe personal hygiene and wash your hands with soap several times a day.In the absence of soap and water, it is recommended to treat your hands with an antiseptic solution.
Vegetables and fruit before meals are washed in running water.Apples, pears and other fruits that are used with the peel, it is advisable to rinse with a special tool or a soap for the home.Animals in the house every 6 months are treated by elmininti using special drugs.Boil the water before drinking, a child is given a special from the bottles.
Once a week, children are cut with nails.The dirt under the nails is cleaned every day.It is easier to clean the nails with an old toothbrush or a special file.
Symptoms of elmintiasis
The damage clinic to the internal organs differs depending on the location of parasites in the body.But there are general symptoms that appear when infected with any type of agents.
Intoxication
Parasite in the human body, the Ilmince leaves the products of his life.The patient receives poisoning, which manifests itself from the following symptoms:
- Heachache,
- Nausea,
- Weakness,
- A decrease in appetite,
- Nervousness.
Allergy
An allergic reaction occurs in the initial phase in the form of a rash, which is difficult to treat.After the treatment, the rash disappears, but after a certain time it manifests itself again.In small children, diathesic eruptions are observed on the cheeks, neck, groin and armpits.Singing eruptions are explained by the toxins that the helminths distinguish.
In allergies or asthma, parasites can cause swelling of the mucosa, spasms of bronchi, asthma attacks.
Change of weight
When infected with Elmininti, a person can lose weight.Body weight loss is associated with the struggle for nutrients that the parasite consumes.But small parasitic agents can cause weight gain.Once in the bloodstream, the unicellular blood circulation and the metabolism in the body slows down.In a person, the swelling manifests itself, the weight is growing.
Hyperthermia
Against the background of secondary pathologies in a patient with elmintiasis, the temperature periodically rises to 37.5 degrees.The temperature increases for no apparent reason and is accompanied by weakness, general malaise.A person experiences fatigue, he wants to sleep all the time.The symptom passes independently, even unexpectedly as it appeared.
Disorders in the digestive tract
Digestive disorders are associated with the intoxication of the body and the development of parasites in the intestine. Symptoms resemble disbiliosis and incorrect treatment is prescribed to the patient.
In case of violation of the digestive tract, symptoms are observed:
- Swelling of the stomach,
- Unstable chair (diarrhea and constipation),
- Heartburn,

When one of these symptoms appears, it is worth contacting the specialists and undergoing a complete body exam for the helminths.
Diagnosis of the disease
Before prescribing the treatment, it is necessary to determine which type of parasite the body is infected and where the worm is located.Most drugs are developed to combat a specific type of elminto.There are universal drugs, but their effectiveness is lower and have more side effects.
The type of pathogen is determined by the following types of exams:
- Feces analysis for parasitic eggs,
- General blood test,
- Blood immunophero test,
- Strips,
- Analysis of the secret of the duodenum,
- Ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract and liver,
- Tomography.
Tomography is prescribed if the rest of the research methods has not allowed to present a complete picture of the infection.
With a negative result, some research methods are prescribed again.The easiest way to determine the presence of an adult parasite in the human body.During the incubation period, the analyzes show a negative result.
During the diagnosis of the parasite, the doctor will immediately prescribe adequate treatment.
Elmintosis therapy
The treatment of the Elmintiasis is multiple and will take time from the patient.In the first phase, the body should be prepared and clean by accumulated toxins.The patient are prescribed absorbent.The cleaning of the toxins's body lasts at least five days.
In the second phase, antiparasitic agents are prescribed to the patient.It is better if the drug is selected individually for a certain type of parasite.
The stadium of dismissal parasites is carried out in two courses.The first course will kill Elmininti's adults in the human body.After 10-14 days, adult worms will be replaced by new ones who foil from strata eggs.The second course will kill new individuals.
The most important is the restoration: the third phase of the treatment.In the third phase, the digestive tract, the liver and the immune system are restored.The patient is prescribed a rainfall course.After taking sorbonne, it is recommended to take drugs that help in the digestive tract.The drugs are food enzymes and help to absorb food.The dosage is selected individually according to the weight of the patient and secondary diseases.
The polyvitamins are added simultaneously.As well as drugs to maintain immunity.
Any therapy is carried out under the supervision of a specialist.If the elmintiasis is caused by the infection by saucers or tape parasites, the therapy is carried out in the hospital.The removal of the parasites of some species requires surgery.
