The parasite infection of the body is a frequent phenomenon that can be prone to children and adults (the first to the greater extent as they observe worse hygiene).Internal parasites differ in the location site in the carrier, their characteristics, structure, life cycle and also affect the carrier to a greater or lesser extent.Depending on what parasites appeared in the human body, symptoms may also differ.
Types
Talking about what parasitic infection in human organs is, many patients think, first and foremost, about worms.However, there are many other types of invasions.In the human body, the parasites of two types are more common.They have a different life cycle and the nature of transmission because they need to be distinguished.
- The first type is worms that live in the human body, otherwise called helminths or worms.Hlybon invasion is mainly concentrated in the gut, provides very pronounced symptoms and is easily diagnosed.Also, it is generally easy to heal and usually has no serious damage to adults and children.Such parasites come in two types - nematodes (round) and strip worms.It is transmitted oral fecal, that is, so that parasites in the human body appear, it is necessary to swallow a significant amount of their eggs, which are emitted with feces;
- Simple microscopic parasites within a person, amoeba etc.They are not visible to the eyes.The signs of parasites in the body in this case are more pronounced.It is harder to heal them and it is quite difficult to diagnose, unlike the previous type.The effect of parasites on the human body is much more significant, these infections can lead to the development and exacerbation of chronic diseases and even threaten life.The nature of transmission is oral fecal, sometimes through blood and some other ways.
It is very important to know what parasites live in the human body, as this will help to avoid infection.
Types
Parasites cause a variety of symptoms.It is usually located in the organ or system that they surprise.Depending on the species, parasites in the body can lead vital activity, eat and multiply only under certain conditions.Based on this, they are conditionally divided into species:
- Intestinal (mainly round worms and planes - pinworms, ascarides, tapeworms);
- Liver (mainly microscopic protozoa - Lamblia, etc.);
- Muscle (also mainly microscopic);
- Joins (same as in the previous case);
- Skin (Micro-Hot, Fungi);
- Cardiac (mainly microscopic or halminth larvae damage);
- Pulmonary (worms infection with worms);
- Brain (larval forms of worms and simple organisms);
- Parasite in human blood (microscopic protozoa);
- Genital in the womb, vagina (usually worms, but the phenomenon is quite rare).
Each of the listed groups causes certain signs of parasites in the human body.Therefore, to diagnose the infection in a timely manner, you need to know what it can cause.
Location
Although there are many places where parasites live in the human body, as can be seen from the parasitic groups listed above, the most common are worms.These worms are located, especially in the gut.Depending on the species, they can live in a small or thick gut.There they multiply, lay eggs and eat.That is, the active stages of your life cycle are underway.
These parasites in humans have a migration stage where larvae fall into other organs (lungs, liver, brain, heart, muscles, etc.), reaching them.This is due to the fact that, by the gut, they fall on site and then in a common bloodstream.Therefore, parasites in one person fall into all organs and systems.But there they form a capsule around the larva and enter a state of rest.However, they cause the development of inflammatory processes, abscesses, sepsis.
Other people from a person, for example, Giardia, are established in the liver.There, the most favorable environment is present for them and therefore in the intestines and other systems, they are in minimal amounts.The same way of life is a bike.These parasites can draw the minimum part of their life cycle in the intestine, mainly affecting other organs.
Some parasitic organisms live on the carrier's body.These are mainly fungi of either type.Depending on the species, they affect the skin, nails, scalp, mucous membranes.The micro-brillle is another type of plague that lives on the skin and its upper layers.
General symptoms
The symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body vary depending on what type of invasion has reached the body.But almost everyone is characterized by two signs - intoxication and allergic syndrome.
- Intoxication develops as a result of body poisoning with parasites products.It is caused by absolutely all types of parasites in the body.It is expressed as a constant weakness of the carrier, its pallor, increased fatigue, chronic fatigue, drowsiness.In children, intoxication can be expressed with great strength in adults - to a lesser extent;
- The second common phenomenon that causes parasites in the human body is the symptoms of allergies.This is due to the fact that the immune system, trying to protect the body of an alien agent, triggers active histamine production.If a lot of blood accumulates in the blood, allergies develop.Generally, symptoms are predominantly skin - rashes, urticaries, but may also be respiratory.
At the stage of diagnosis on parasites in the body, we can conclude that specific immunoglobulins in blood test.Regardless of the nature of the invasive agent, the immune system produces specific antibodies to combat it.If there are these antibodies, there is invasion in the body.And by type of antibodies, you can understand which one.
Specific symptoms
As parasites affect the body depends on your type.Each has specific symptoms of parasitic infection.Extracurricular forms of internal parasites infection (lambliosis, toxocarose, opistorhoz, etc.), as well as helm tentic invasions with active infection of internal organs at the migration stage.The first signs with this flow are as follows:
- Increasing body temperature, usually significant;
- Chills;
- Abundant sweating;
- Sometimes there is an increase in lymph nodes;
- If parasites reach the lungs, there will be a slight cough, which over time can intensify and even go into pneumonia;
- If the liver is defeated, it increases, its pain is observed;
- When located on the skin, rash and redness, peel, itch appear;
- With intestinal worms, abdominal pain, swelling, flatulence, nausea, weight loss can cause constipation or diarrhea;
- With location in the organs of the cardiovascular system, heart, arrhythmias, tachycardia and other rhythm disorders;
- The pain resulting from parasites in the muscles and joints is not pronounced and appears periodically in the affected areas.
It can be said that human parasites are present in the body, other symptoms can also, but the above are the most characteristic.The most characteristic evidence that intestinal worms are in the body is the detection of individuals in a chair.
Treatment
Helminths or simpler can live in a person for a long time without showing.However, if suspicions of the invasion, you will need to immediately pass by diagnosis and make a diagnosis.A parasitologist or specialist in infectious diseases will say how to treat the infection.
Helminth treatment is performed using anti -helmintic medications.All specific medications are divided into two groups.Preparations with a broad spectrum of action kill parasites of various types and are prescribed for invasion with a little clear pathogen.Preparations with a narrow spectrum are prescribed when an invasion agent is installed, they are less toxic.
A person should take a drug like this once.After 7 to 10 days, a second reception is prescribed as protection against possible self-invasion.Sometimes the drug can be prescribed in a short 3-5 day course.Dosages depend on the degree of invasion, type of medicine, patient weight and other factors.
