Parasites are bodies that exist at the expense of the owner.Their vital activity in the human body can occur asymptomatic.Therefore, the Elmintic invasion is one of the most diagnosed pathologies.
Parasite diseases lead to serious consequences.According to the World Health Organization, they cause the death of 16 million people around the world.In order to promptly detect the parasite and prevent complications, it is necessary to know the possible ways of infection and symptoms.
Why are parasites dangerous?
Parasites can live both on the body and within a person.Some of their varieties are not dangerous, while others represent a serious threat to life.The most elminic life products have a toxic effect.With a large accumulation, body poisoning occurs.
Symptoms of poisoning by parasites:
- vomit;
- weakness;
- loss of appetite;
- high body temperature;
- fever;
- Convulsions.
Treatment should start in time, because a neglected condition can cause death.
The consequences of a parasitic infection differ according to the location of the parasite.Verms can cause an allergic reaction, blindness, paralysis, destroy the liver, the lungs, the brain, influence the work of other organs.They reduce immunity, which is why a person is more susceptible to infectious diseases.
The most dangerous parasites:
- Brain Amoeba (ribbon).He lives in the brain, life expectancy up to 20 years.As the ribbon grows, he tries to kill his master.Mortality occurs in 97% of cases.The worm causes cerebral edema and the infection is possible when using flesh or infected water.
- Askarids.Ring worms, which are often found in the child's body.Adults grow up to 30 cm in length.The symptoms of general intoxication appear and you can be infected through dirty hands.
- Onhocarcavelos.A worm that causes river blurry (onhocercosis).
- Tripanosome.Causes chronic heart and intestine diseases.
- Australian Tick.It causes a strong allergic reaction, leads to respiratory failure.
General symptoms
The most common signs of parasites are allergic manifestations in the form of urticaria, itching of the skin, rashes, increase in body temperature and attacks of bronchial asthma.
General symptoms of parasitosis in the body:
- nausea, vomiting;
- Abdominal pain;
- violation of the feces (diarrhea or constipation);
- itching in the anus;
- grind your teeth in a dream;
- worsening of appetite;
- heachache;
- weakness, fatigue;
- avitaminosis;
- reduction of immunity;
- anemia;
- cough;
- joint or muscle pain;
- A strong decrease or increase in body weight.
Symptoms may not appear immediately.For example, clinical signs when the infection Pinworms appear after 2-3 days and Ascaris after 3 months.
Types of parasites
Parasites in the human body can live everywhere.They can usually be detected in the intestine and liver, but they can parasitic the lungs, muscle tissue, blood, blood vessels and brain.If the larva has fallen into the bloodstream, it can be attached to any internal organ, violating its functioning.
What parasites do they live in the human body?There are more than 250 species that can live at the expense of a person.Their dimensions vary from microscopic to meters, the number can also be different.
The main types of parasites in humans can be distinguished:
- Ectoparasiti;
- helminths;
- Prostoships (protozoa).
Ectoparasiti
This species lives on the skin.Representatives of ectoparasites:
- Head of the louse, pubic and pay - pediculosis;
- Bed bedbugs are a vector of infectious diseases such as hepatitis, tuberculosis and abdominal cheering;
- Demodex - demodecosis;
- Scabbia - Scabbia;
- Cochliomyia - Cochliomi.
The infection with parasites occurs in a way in contact.They are transmitted with body contact, through personal hygiene objects and clothes.Cochliomi occur when common flies in northern and central America.
The simplest parasites
The following parasites belong to them:
- In the intestine - Amoebas, Giardia, Leishmania, blastocyst, blandaia;
- In the blood - Tripanosomi, Babesia;
- In the organs of the parental parent system - Trichomonas;
- In the internal organs (heart, lungs, liver, brain) - Toxoplasmes, tripanosomes, acanthamamoebas.
The infection occurs through food, water, sexual intercourse (in the case of Trichomonad).
Helminths
These are worms that in the process of their life violates the work of the internal organs and metabolism.The worms can only be a few centimeters long or reach 7-10 m.
With the primary infection, other organs and muscles can be established in the intestine and repeatedly influenced.Very often there are worms that live in the rectum, in the liver, in the bile ducts and in the lungs.
The most common diseases caused by the parasites of Elmininti:
- Acaridosis.The larvae cross the digestive tract and stabilize in the intestine.An adult reaches 25-30 cm.
- Opistorchoz.Adults affect bile ducts, enter the human body together with infected fish.
- Basket.The infection caused by ribbon worms occurs in a person through meat and fish, the intestine is influenced.
- Shistosomosis.It is caused by saucers or flat worms.The infection occurs when the skin of the water infected with fresh water snails enters.
This species includes a large number of subspecies.In total, over 300 varieties of helminths are recorded.
They can be grouped in 3 groups:
- Nematodi - Round worms;
- Trematodes - Saucer;
- Cestodes - Ribbon worms.
Nematodes
The most surprising representatives of the round worms:
- Pinworms;
- Askarides;
- Blacovyv.
The main ways of elmininti infection are the use of dirty products or contaminated water, unwashed hands, insect bites.The nematodes are deposited in gastrointestinal organs, less often in the liver, lungs and heart.
The main symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human intestine:
- nausea, vomiting;
- itching in the anus;
- skin eruptions;
- indigestion;
- Chronic fatigue.
With a large population, parasites come out of the body of course.In this case, nematod can be found in the stool.
Trematatodes
Lead to dangerous infectious diseases.These parasites, depending on the habitat, can be divided into these groups:
- Blood bars - Schistosomi;
- Tremontades of the liver - liver bicarries;
- Intestinal saucer;
- pancreatic parasites;
- Pulmonary loss.
The symptoms of the infection depend on the organ concerned.It may be weakness, dizziness, deterioration of appetite, nausea, stool disorders, pallor of the skin, irritability or apathy.
The main source of infection is to obtain excrement of sick animals or people in water and soil.
Cestodes
Ribbon worms live in the intestine.They fall into the human body when using meat and fish insufficiently transformed sufficiently treated.The greatest danger is the pork chain, which can migrate into the bloodstream, muscle tissue and brain.
The basketballs can parasitic in the body for a long time without evident signs, growing in impressive dimensions.The length of the adult is up to 10 m.Common diseases caused by baskets, - Vitellinus, echinococcosi.
Ordinary representatives of the baskets:
- tape;
- Toro of Taurus and Pork;
- Pecora cerebrum;
- Echinococcus.
Which doctor to contact the parasites?
Parasitic diseases are treated by doctors-patresitologists.They must be contacted with suspicion of infection.In addition, a dermatologist can find parasites on the skin.
Diagnostics
The diagnosis of parasitic worms is carried out using a feces laboratory exam.To determine the worms, you need to take the analysis three times.
The parasites of the cutters are detected by scraping, which is performed by the adhesive tape.It is possible to check the parasites that do not participate in digestion, using a blood test or a biopsy.
Treatment
You can clean the human body from the parasites with the help of medicines and popular remedies.The duration of the treatment depends on the degree of infection and intoxication of the body.
Pharmacological treatment of parasites
The treatment of the heelmintiasis involves the use of antielmintic agents.They are toxic, therefore it is impossible to use them without a confirmed diagnosis.The symptoms of elmintiasis are stopped using symptomatic treatment.Vitamin preparations, choleretic drugs, hepatoprotectors, laxatives, anti -allergic medicines, antibiotics, probiotics are used.Corticosteroids are prescribed in serious allergic reactions.
Popular treatment of parasites
You can get rid of the parasites in the human body with the help of these means of traditional medicine:
- Enema with blueberry juice.It helps to get rid of helminths and protozoa.For 2 liters of water, it is necessary to take 2 tablespoons.the.Blueberry juice and 1 tablespoon.the.salt.Perform the procedure 2 times a day.

- Will be frequent, an increase in adenoids and tonsils;
- appendicitis;
- entertainite, gastroenteritis, entertocolitis;
- cirrhosis;
- Liver cancer;
- anemia;
- gastrointestinal bleeding;
- pancreatitis;
- bronchitis;
- Oncological diseases;
- cerebral edema;
