Parasites in the human body

Parasical organisms surround us everywhere.They cause dangerous diseases for humans - sleepy illness, trichomoniasis, giardiasis, ascariasis and others.Every year, the world is recorded in the world.According to clinical data, 3.5 billion people are infected with parasites.70% of them are children.What symptoms cause pathogenic microorganisms in the human body?How to withdraw them?

Etiology of parasitic diseases

Parasites exist and feed at the expense of living organisms: plants, animals, people.They can be constantly in the host’s body or temporarily (for the period of reproduction).Types of parasitic organisms living in a person are:

• Ectoparasites.Live on the skin and hair of the head or on the external organs of the person.92% are temporary or optional parasites (blood -sucking insects, leeches).They are able to exist independently, outside the body of the owner.
• Endoparasites.Live in the internal organs and tissues of the human body.

Pathogenic microorganisms exist in all kingdoms of nature.They are able to eat various tissues and cells.The causative agents of amoebic dysentery and chronic colitis (Entamoeba Histolytica) affect the mucous membranes in the large intestine, creating bleeding and open wounds called amoebar ulcers.The organ cannot function normally, pathological changes in the work of the digestive tract begin.

The main types of pathogenic microorganisms:

• The protozoa is the ciliates (balance), amoeba (dysenteria), tripanosomes (a sleepy disease causes a parasite that can affect the central nervous system, has the name - Trypanosoma Brucei Rhodesiense) and others.Live in the intestines and other sections of the gastrointestinal tract, causing severe, intestinal infections;organs of the urinary and sexual system of the human.
• Worms are the most common and numerous human parasites.Representatives: saucers (Trematoda), tape, flat worms - (cestoda), round - (Nematoda), acanthocephales (Acanthocephali).Live inside a person in the intestines, in the stomach, in the lungs;They are able to penetrate into the heart, into the eyes, urinary and genitals.2-3 % live in muscles and bones, brain.

The main methods of infection:

1. Books of blood -sucking insects (mosquitoes, blind, flies are able to spread the infection over long distances).
2. Contact with animals.According to clinical studies of parasitologists, the main, asymptomatic carriers of echinococcosis are dogs.
3. Unwashed fruits and vegetables.
4. Failure to comply with personal hygiene rules (unwashed hands before eating) - up to 86% of children under 14 years old are infected in this way.
5. The use of non -fed, drinking water from reservoirs and unverified sources.
6. Bathing in prohibited places.Parasites living in reservoirs through the skin or when random swallowing fall into the human body.They also live in fish and mollusks (a reservoir for bull and pork tapeworm - a small prince).
7. Sexual unprotected contacts - trichomoniasis.

Clinical picture of diseases caused by parasites

Symptoms of the disease depend on the type of parasite and its location.The manifestations of the disease are affected by the general state of health of the patient and age.A person is able to live with parasites in the human body for a long time and not know their presence.With a decrease in immunity, he will manifest the first symptom of infection.

The appearance of signs of the disease begin with an increase in temperature, weakness, fatigue.The clinical picture of diseases caused by cestodes or amoebas differs.

One and a half billion people in the world suffer from non -demade infections, 70% of them are children.A different type of helminth can cause different diseases.The main symptoms of the presence of worms parasitizing in the gastrointestinal tract are:

• Dyspeptic gastrointestinal tract disorders.
• Fecal disorders in humans, constant tenesm.
• The first signs of hemorrhoids.
• General symptoms of intoxication of the body.

Helmint, striking the sensory system of the body, leads to keratitis, iritis, and conjunctivitis of the eye.At the terminal stage, a person completely loses vision.

The second most common in the world are diseases - echinococcosis.Echinococcus, parasitizing in the liver, causes the following symptoms in a person: a feeling of heaviness, pain in the right hypochondrium, chronic fatigue, yellowness of the skin and mucous membranes.At the terminal stages: abdominal bleeding, sepsis and abscesses and liver cysts with a possible rupture and release of purulent contents into the abdominal cavity (peritonitis).

With pulmonary echinococcosis, patients show signs of suffocation, pressing chest pain, cough (at an early stage - dry, at terminal - with purulent, green separated and blood).According to clinical research and observations, the adult patient develops pleurisy, inflammation of the lung tissue, peritonitis (the consequences of rupture of cysts and pus cast into the pleural cavity and bronchi).

In 2% of cases, echinococci can affect the brain: around the tape, a connective tissue, dense capsule is formed around the tape, surrounded by a shell made of inflammatory-changed brain tissue-Gliya.MRI is diagnosed with multiple foci of parasitic cysts and hemorrhages.Hyperemia captures the shells in the bubble.At the initial stage, the patient complains of constant headaches, dizziness, vomiting, tremors of limbs, epileptic seizures.On the terminal - paresis of the lower or upper limbs develops.The patient is diagnosed with mental and neurogenic personality disorders: nonsense, manic - depressive states, dementia.

In river fish - ruffs, perch, pikes live tape (soliders), capable of causing a person with dipillobotriosis.The disease for a long time proceeds asymptomatic in the intestinal sections in the rectum.Against the background of a decrease in immunity or exacerbation of chronic diseases, the appearance of symptoms is diagnosed.Patients experience a lack of appetite, nausea and vomiting, pain of the abdomen, unstable stools, constant tenes, weakness, fatigue, paresthesia of the lower extremities.With hypersensitivity, a rash and papules appear on the skin.At the terminal stage, the patient is diagnosed with B12 anemia.In the sea fish - in the herring, in the cod, in a milk, in a salmon, anizakids live in sea perch.They provoke the development of anizakidosis.Symptoms of the disease are similar to diphyllobotriasis.

Parasites cause sexually transmitted, infectious diseases.In the countries of the world, 250 million people get a trichomoniasis infection annually.Clinical symptoms of trichomoniasis:

• Hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membrane of the vagina.
• Burning and constant itching.
• Pain during urination.
• Pain for sexual intercourse.
• Dark - green with an admixture of blood and mucus secreted from the vagina.

Trichomoniasis is dangerous for pregnant women and children.The disease causes severe complications in the embryo and the newborn.

Treatment and diagnosis of human parasitic diseases

In 85% of cases, parasitic diseases begin sharply: high body temperature, diarrhea, nausea, weakness or other symptoms.A person consults a doctor for advice.The doctor examines the patient, collects an anamnesis, answers questions and prescribes a referral to laboratory and instrumental research.Patients ask: how to treat?How to remove and expel pathogenic microorganisms?Treatment methods depend on the type and type of parasite (simplest, worm).

Main research:

1. A general blood test with a leukocyte formula and ESR.An increase in the indicator of ESR indicates inflammatory processes in the body;The increase in the number of eosinophils is on a non -dramatic infection.
2. Immunospores and immunological blood test.
3. With echinococcosis, an X -ray is carried out - the study of the chest, intestines (with a contrast agent) to establish localization of cysts.
4. Study of feces for parasites, a general coprogram.
5. Smoes from the mucous membranes of the vagina and cervix with trichomoniasis.
6. PCR - this analysis allows you to determine the pathogen of infection with 98% accuracy.
7. Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, genitourinary system.
8. ECG, EEG.

After receiving the tests, the doctor prescribes treatment.The scheme includes a decrease in the symptoms of the disease, the destruction of parasites and their elimination from the body.The patient must observe a strict diet.Food should be steamed or boiled.The exclusion from the diet of fatty, sharp and salty products.In order to get rid of infection, use drug therapy (prescribe tablets, injections, candles).The drugs of choice against protozoal infections are antiprotozoal, antibacterial agents.Surgical treatment is used only at the terminal stages of the disease.Additionally, antihistamines are prescribed to relieve inflammation and swelling.

In the intestinal stages of ascariasis, the doctor prescribes anthelmintic drugs.Tablets destroy parasites and eliminate the symptoms of the disease.Eye drops are dripping in the conjunctiva that can kill and remove pathogenic microorganisms.

The disease can not be cured with only pills, folk remedies, and herbal medicine are used in addition to it.The main herbs in order to bring worms are considered tansy, wormwood, swamp calamus, fennel.

With dipillobotriosis and anizakidosis, patients are prescribed a strict, therapeutic diet and drugs that can remove and cure the body from pathogenic microorganisms.

With a sleepy human disease, a medicine is prescribed that can save patients from tripanos.

In sexually transmitted diseases, gynecologists prescribe antiprotozoal drugs, additionally candles or vaginal tablets.Before going to bed, it is advised to conduct baths with chamomile and calendula to relieve itching and burning.

Folk remedies for getting rid of parasites

Consider the recipe for herbal infusion in order to expel worms.To prepare the infusion, take 4 g of wormwood, 5 pieces of cloves;Add 2 g of knotweed, calamus swamp and thyme, 2 g of lemon balm and tansy inflorescences, 0.5 g of valerian.Mix well and pour 500 ml of hot water, let it brew 12 hours and drink during the day after eating.

5 g of chamomile pharmacy, ordinary tansy, crows and oak bark are poured with hot water and put in a warm place for 7-8 hours.It is advisable to use a thermos.To remove helminths, drink 5 tablespoons after eating 3 times a day.

In order to completely cleanse themselves of worms, enemas with decoctions of herbs, garlic are used.To prepare it, 5-6 cloves of garlic are poured with half a glass of cold water;Put on fire and bring to a boil, but do not boil.Then cool and carry out the procedure 2 hours before leaving the house.Together with the stool, parasites will come out of the intestines.

Getting rid of worms with the help of drinking soda is an unusual and unverified way.With it, enemas and solutions are made for oral administration.Before the procedures, you need to talk to the doctor.

It is important to remember that herbs have contraindications for use.Before use, you must consult a doctor.The main contraindications: pregnancy, children's age, gastrointestinal diseases.

With timely treatment, a person gets rid of parasites completely.The patient must correctly fulfill the doctor and take drugs.After the course of therapy, he must undergo examinations with doctors during the year and take tests.

Preventive measures

Prevention is aimed at preventing cysts, parasite larvae into the human body.The doctor will tell the patient how worms look, about protection methods and first aid for parasitic infections.Medicine has not created vaccines and vaccinations against such infections.

• Compliance with personal hygiene.A person should wash with soap or other disinfectant hand after the toilet, walks, work with soil and water, before each meal.
• Moms need to monitor and teach their children to observe personal hygiene.Do not take dirty hands and objects in the mouth.

• Be sure to boil water before use.Do not drink from unverified sources (water bodies, rivers).
• You can’t swim in prohibited places - not equipped reservoirs and ponds.
• Follow the health status of their pets.Carry out preventive courses against parasites.Use drops used on a withers for cats and dogs as a prevention and first aid of parasitic infections.
• Prepare fish and meat products strictly according to technology.
