Parasites in the body of children and adults are a very common phenomenon, according to some estimates in certain population groups, indicators are up to 80-90%.
Children of young and medium are most often susceptible to infection with worms, hunters -trichinellosis, fishermen -Pyphilobotriosis.
Moreover, a person may not be remembered for the presence of helminths, as not in all cases there is a characteristic symptom.
Moreover, it should be remembered that signs of infection with parasites often resemble the symptoms of other common pathologies-gastrointestinal tract, kidney, respiratory system and nerves.In such cases, people have been treated unsuccessfully for different specialists for years.
Worms.How is the infection?
It is customary to share the four main ways of penetrating parasites into the body:
- Earth soil contains a large number of mature worms eggs and many living individuals who reach there with animal and humans feces.There is also a direct contact - the transfer of insect -worm eggs (mainly flies), with feces in food products.
- Contact an infected person.This is the most common way of infection, which is characteristic, for example, for worms.It is performed from man to person.
- Biogelminth Street.Introducing parasites into the body through a raw meat or fish, semi -treated, ie, food, already infected with helminths.
- Insect bite.In insect bite, infection occurs, but this method is not so common.
The main mechanism of infection with worms
It is an oral-effect path, which consists of penetrating the eggs of parasites into the body along with food and water.
Worms.Is it true that children become infected more often?
When infected with pinworms worms, the parasitic female at night is engaged in egg laying.Skay from the intestines, near the anus, it leaves at least 5,000 eggs.The child feels severe itching, comb the anus and at the same time the eggs fall under his nails.
Eggs spread everywhere - falling into bed, panties, face, hands, body.
An adult in such cases shows great vigilance than a child who does not always wash his hands immediately.Therefore, the parasitic eggs remain thousands of home in the door gloves, clothes, products, toys.
The process of infection goes further, worms enter the body of other children and adults.
Children are really more often infected and not just because of a smaller desire for personal hygiene.In children, there is no protection that works normally, all immunity bonds are not formed.In addition, in infants, especially the younger age, stomach acidity is less than in adults.And this is a favorable factor in the development of helminths.
Children learn more about the world around them, trying everything to taste.It is impossible to get used to the baby's personal hygiene rules, the development of skills does not occur earlier than three to five years, and sometimes later.
How do the parasites spread?
Not everyone knows that worms do not multiply directly into the body.Each type of parasites has its own period of a temporary segment of life, and comes a time when adults die.Pinworms live no more than two to four weeks, ascarides for no more than one year.
Attention!Eggs are deposited by adults with sexually mature individuals, and they should leave the body of an infected person.Therefore, an increase in the number of individuals, for example, in the intestine should only occur in the event of infection (through feces, water, household items, food, etc.).
Eggs should fall into the outer environment and from there again to the human body.Maturity in the body continues for a certain period, then worms begin to actively parasitize.
How to rule out the infection with worms again?
There are only three rules that "work":
- Respect for hygiene.
- Preventive measures.
- Timely treatment (taking modern anthelmintic agents).
Taking the drug "Like it" is not recommended.Modern parasites are very strong and toxic.They are used only when confirming the diagnosis.In addition, for each type of parasites his vehicle is intended.
There are preventive measures of work that are relatively safe for the body and can be successfully implemented, for example, popular methods.However, in any case, consulting a physician is mandatory, especially when dealing with the treatment of children.
Parasitic disease or helminthic invasions
Attention!A large set of diseases in which the pathology develops due to the penetration of different parasites into the body falls under this term.
So far, science knows hundreds (!) About their species.
This, in particular, includes:
- Infection with pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
- Parasites penetration into the body:
- Protozoa.
- Arthropod.
- Unicellular.
- Multicellular.
Infection with parasites.Why do changes in the work of the human body appear?
Anydo parasites, including the pathogenic bacterium, pathogenic virus or worms, release toxic substances that are their life products.This leads to changes in the work of human organs and systems due to toxin poisoning.
In addition, parasites:
- destroy the structure of tissue cells;
- damage the internal organs;
- Parasitized in lymph and blood.
Symptoms of infection with parasites
The symptoms of infection are very different, but may be missing at all.For decades, a person may not doubt the infection and not feel discomfort.At the same time, there are such types of parasites that significantly exacerbate the quality of life.In some cases, a parasitic disease is the cause of death.
Signs of the disease depend on a large number of factors, one of which is the type of parasite and its features.
Parasitic diseases may resemble:
- sore throat;
- sinusitis;
- bronchitis;
- damage to the nervous system;
- pulmonary pathology;
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, etc etc.
Some symptoms of infection with parasites
- Dismissal of the function of the gastrointestinal tract, which manifests:
- Diarrhea.
- Flatulence.
- Chronic constipation.
- An irritated intestinal syndrome.
- The appearance of muscle and joint pain.
- Allergic skin manifestations.
- Reduction of hemoglobin indicators in the blood (iron deficiency anemia).
- Changes in body weight without any obvious reason (weight loss or weight gain).
- Disordishes mental disorders, including depressive disorders, insomnia, irritability, clashes.
- Ginger teeth at night (broxissism).
- Signs of dysbiosis.
- Reduction of immunity.
- General asthenia (loss of strength, weakness).
- Frequent inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system.
- Malignant neoplasm.
Specifics of parasitic diseases
Often the diagnosis is difficult, because often the doctor does not happen to the doctor to associate the psyche to the patient with a parasitic cause.
At the same time, in some people, infection causes serious psycho-emotional deviations that are manifested not only by the rise of nervousness, nervousness and constantly bad mood, but also with serious depression, until the panic attacks that are treated for years of psychiatrist.
Such a response to the human body is due to a large number of toxins that adversely affect all organs and systems.
The tendency for frequent cooling and other diseases when infected with parasites is explained by disorders in the work of the immune system, as a large number of worms are blocking the synthesis of immunoglobulin A, which is responsible for the normal functioning of the body protection.A person becomes unprotected before pathogenic microorganisms.
With a prolonged finding of some parasites in the body, due to the same reduced immunity, in some cases, the degeneration of normal cells in the malignant cells.
Mental deviations, a decrease in concentration of attention, deterioration of memory, inability to concentrate, signs of chronic labor, external indifference, apathy, stress exposure, signs of acute infectious respiratory disease are manifested with lack of nutrients and vitamins in the human body.At the same time, the food can be perfect.
In this case, the parasites complicate the suction process:
- minerals;
- vitamins;
- carbohydrates;
- protein;
- fats.
The result of parasites life:
- strengthening the signs of chronic intoxication;
- muscle pain;
- Joint pain.
Why does a person experience pain when infected with parasites?
Often people experience pain, for example, in the joints and take them for manifestations of another disease, which, supposedly, has nothing to do with the penetration of parasites - this is arthritis.
This is due to migration of worms.Moreover, inflammatory processes in the joints and muscles can be the result of the body's response to parasitic penetration, as well as the result of tissue damage.
Reasons for weight changes in parasite infection
Weight can decrease, and some patients know about it, due to a decrease in appetite, digestive disorders, abdominal pain.
The units know that a sign of worms can be overweight.However, often a person acquires significantly weight due to a sensation of constant hunger (stomach absorption), in this case there is a significant decrease in blood glucose, and therefore appetite increases.
Irritated intestinal syndrome and parasites
Infection with parasites leads to inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and a deterioration in the process of normal absorption of nutrients from the products.
Fat foods to undergo processing in the small intestine cause diarrhea, or, conversely, constipation, as they enter a poorly processed form already in the large intestine.
In some cases, a liquid water chair may be observed, which is caused by substances similar to prostaglandins.Chronic constipation develops due to the blockage of the work of some organs.
For example, the parasitic attitude in the biliary tract inevitably affects the liver, and the localization of parasites in the intestine most often leads to difficulty in the act of defecation.
Worms and inflammation of the respiratory tract
The appearance of many signs of respiratory diseases without a direct cause is the most likely symptoms of infection with parasites in adults and children.
The infection can appear on its own:
- Chronic wind nose;
- increased body temperature;
- cough;
- Saliva selection;
- pneumonia.
Grinding teeth in a dream and worms
Science does not know the reasons for a phenomenon such as broxicism.It is assumed that a tooth noise is a manifestation of intoxication and pants of the central nervous system.
Worms and rashes of skin
Allergic skin reactions - a consequence of activation of immunity to penetrate the parasites, which causes enhanced production of specific blood cells (eosinophils).In addition, it should be noted that the worms themselves are an allergen for the human body.
Problems and oncological worms
Systematic poisoning from parasitic breakdown products, a decrease in immune protection, a chronic lack of vital substances, and failure of the work of all organs and systems leads to some cases of malignant tumors.
Deterioration of the appearance of skin and worms
Manifests itself:
- appearance of acne;
- boils;
- nettle;
- papilloma;
- eczema;
- long non -healing abscesses;
- other different rashes.
Conclusions.Signs of infection with parasites are extremely diverse and have symptoms similar to a large number of pathologies.Symptoms are due to the individual response of the body of a particular patient, a variety of individuals, the characteristics of occupation, stages of infection, etc.
Signs include symptoms of damage to the internal organs and manifest in a large range - from serious heart attacks and asthma to chronic migraine and inflammatory processes of the urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract.
