Parasites - this is the names of one of the most common groups of infectious diseases.Nowadays, about 300 parasites are known, which are a danger to humans, including fatal.In the European continent, this is only a few dozen parasites (medical name - Helminthias, Helmintás invasion).
Most of the parasites relevant to humans are common in tropical and subtropical countries and in low levels of socio-economic development and health culture.
What are dangerous parasites
Parasites of the human body can affect almost any organ system.The degree of damage depends on the type of helmin, the duration of the disease and the health condition.The sooner the diagnosis of specific helmints develops, the more chances are to get rid of the parasite quickly.Therefore, it is important to diagnose the invasion condition with the parasites in time and to perform all stages of treatment.
Almost any version of helminthiasis, especially for a long time, causes significant damage to the human body.The Hlybon invasion is the reason why it is a delay in psycho-motor development of children of any age and significantly reduces adult performance and life reserves.
Regardless of human age, the helmintes invasion contributes to allergyization, reduces the immune system's ability to resist infectious and other diseases, and significantly reduces the effectiveness of the ongoing vaccine prophylaxis.
Cleaning the body of the parasites is rarely spontaneous, in most cases a particular treatment is required according to a given scheme.
What are the parasites
Parasites (they are also worms or worms) are an extensive group of multicellular complex organisms that exist for a long time in active condition, in different conditions.An important feature is that it can exist in another living organism (person or animal) called "invasion".
Currently, various parasites of the human body are known.The most common classification of parasites depending on their external structure and the characteristics of the life cycle.
Given the biological qualities, all parasites are divided into 3 large classes:
- Round worms (they are also nematodes) such as Trichinella, Ankylostoma, Pin, Ascaris;
- Tapodes (also cestodes) such as alveococcus, echinococcus, tape wide, bull -clinical tapen, pork and dwarf;
- Super (they also Tremontodek), for example, Opistorch, Fasciol, Clonorch.
In addition, as many other diseases, parasitic diseases are different:
- by severity;
- The leading syndrome, ie which system of organs, is more damaged;
- based on the presence and nature of complications;
- With a possible outcome of the disease.
The characteristics of parasites
Development phase
Parasitic diseases are characterized by a number of differences in parasites and their life cycle.
The number of adults in the human body parasites does not increase, provided there is no new infection.For the realization of the life cycle, most parasites are needed to change habitat (animal body, soil, etc.).
In any parasite, the stages of development are characterized.During the life cycle, Helmin transfers a number of consistently changing stages of development.As a general rule, the parasitic egg is transformed into larvae and is further transformed into an adult person.Reverse development does not occur, the egg cannot immediately enter the adult stage.
In one stage of the life cycle of the parasite, it penetrates into the human body and goes out into the other.At the moment, the treatment of practical persons of human parasitic diseases is accompanied.That is, it is impossible to infect the majority of parasitic diseases, directly with the infected person.
Possible ways of penetrating into the human body
There are many parasites to meet anywhere - no visible eyes.The following options are likely:
- the use of an oral way, ie the use of dirty or thermally unprocessed products without satisfaction with personal hygiene;
- The percutaneous path, ie the larvae of the parasites or adults, penetrate into the human body by contact with the skin or soil when contact with the skin or soil.
Most of the parasites affecting the human body live only in the adult stages, especially within the digestive tract.These are the so -called bowel parasites (Helmints).However, they are divided into 2 groups, in accordance with some functions.
The first group of intestinal parasites enter the human body in the form of eggs.The digestive system is transformed as an adult.The movement of such parasites (pinworms, wide ribbons, pork and bull tape) is limited only by different classes of the digestive tract.
Representatives of the second group (larvae or eggs) perform significantly longer and complex migration, according to various tissues and organs of the human body.Only then was the parasite adult.Obviously, the symptoms of such parasitic diseases are much more diverse as the process of migration involves significant changes in the body.
The parasites, which are outside the digestive tract in an adult or larvae, tissue.If there is a parasite in the human body only in the larvae, it is an ecological dead end to man that Helmin cannot leave.
Characteristics of the life cycle of parasites
In order to know how to get rid of the body's parasites, their life cycle should be depicted in a general sense.This knowledge helps to prevent parasites from entering the human body.
In line with the characteristics of the life cycle, all parasites are distributed:
- Geo parasites;
- infectious helmintek;
- Bio helminthiasis.
In order to perform the life cycle of geo parasites (Vlasov, a gender, it is necessary that eggs are of certain duration in the soil. In the future, with direct contact with dirty soil, the use of non -washed vegetables through the dirty hands of the parasites penetrates into the human body.
In contagiosteal parasites (Pinworms, dwarf), every stage of development occurs only in the human body without changing the environment.Only this type of parasitic diseases spread directly from person to person.This is also possible, especially in childhood, cases of re -auto -generation, ie hygiene rules and skills non -compliance.
The most complex life cycle in biogelmintosis called SO.The prerequisite for implementing their life cycle is the presence of an intermediate host.Man can be an intermediate or ultimate master.For example, in echinococcosis, people are an intermediate host, dogs and cats are final.In the case of tusherinchosis, on the contrary, cattle representatives are intermediate hosts and a person is final.
Symptoms of parasites
The clinical symptoms of parasites are determined on the one hand by the dominant damage of a given organ and, on the other hand, have general features that allow us to distinguish the acute and chronic stages of parasitic disease.
The acute phase of parasitic disease corresponds to the migration phase of the formation of helmints.Clinical symptoms such as allergic and general toxic reactions (ascariasis, schistosomosis, fasciolesis, trichinellosis).
The immunological component has a significant weight in the development of the acute phase of parasitosis, forms a certain stereotype of the clinical picture and forms some similarities to other immunological reactions of non -infectious nature - the drug, allergic dermatitis and others.
Most of the hidden periods with parasitoses are decreased to 7-10 days with a huge version of the infection and extends with poor intensity.
The main symptoms of parasitic diseases are as follows:
- Increasing body temperature - from alfebriles to very high;
- pain in the muscles and joints, various durations and intensity;
- The formation of the rash on the entire surface of the skin, in size and intensity different, by itching of the skin;
- Skin and subcutaneous tissue are significant edema, less often - mucous membranes;The most typical of trichinellosis, which has given the "puffy" a characteristic popular name for the disease;
- Pulmonary syndrome, namely night cough, formation of astmitoid conditions, and pneumonia with the migrant focus of damage;
- the formation of abdominal syndrome characterized by moderate abdominal pain, liquid stools without mucosa and blood contamination;
- In severe cases, the central nervous system and heart damage can be observed;
- The distinctive feature of helminthiasis is the change in peripheral blood: pronounced leukocytosis and significant eosinophilia (up to 30-40%).
At the acute phase of the drugs, it is most effective in the acute phase of the parasites of the human body.
At the stage of the chronic phase of parasitic diseases, the adult parasite is determined by the adult.The harmful effect of the human body is associated with:
- greater toxic and less allergic effects;
- Mechanical damage to the tissues of the parasitation zone (such as liver echinococcosis);
- absorption of nutrients, metabolism violations, anemia and cachexia;
- severe anemia;
- Increased irritability and irritability of a person;
- You can connect to secondary infection and dysbiosis, other infectious and non -infectious diseases and the weight of pregnancy.
The duration of each parasites is different - from a few days and weeks (cutters) and for many years.Following a parasitic disease, infection is possible because immunity does not develop.Therefore, former body cleaning of the body from parasites does not protect the repeated episode of the disease.
Handling of parasites
The classic drug therapy for parasitosis is currently a significant success.The introduction of benzymeidazole into clinical practice of compounds of benzymidazole made it possible to successfully treat many Helminthia.
These drugs have a wide spectrum of exposure, small toxide, with short treatment, comfortable for adults and children.You need to pay attention to the age of dosing medicines.
How to clean the body of a particular parasite, which is treated with treatment, and which medicine the doctor will decide.We do not recommend that we prevent Helminthiasis from a personal initiative, as the dependence of the drugs is formed, that is, its effect.
Cleaning the parasites
In parasitosis, treatment with folk drugs is no less popular than traditional medicine.Supporters of natural tools for parasitic diseases focus on the safety and universality of such therapy.There are many recipes for traditional medicine that allows you to effectively cope with parasites of the human body.The following options are the most famous for eliminating the parasites of the human body:
- Coriander and pumpkin seeds as prophylactic and therapeutic agents for parasites;
- Alcohol tincture on lipstick, combined with white fungi;
- the decoction of pine boxes;
- Tincture of green nuts.
All folk cures for parasites should be done with the sum of the recipe and clean hands.Before choosing a particular recipe, it is important to ensure that you do not have an allergy to the ingredients that are part of the drug.
How to protect yourself from parasites
This is both light and difficult at the same time.Many simple rules help to minimize the risk of infection with any parasite:
- Wash hands thoroughly;
- The right habit is to use a unique set of food;
- Thoroughly process the meat and fish thermally, gently use dried and salty fish and meat;
- Treat vegetables and fruits with boiling water (after washing in river water);
- Always wash your hands with soap after communicating with animals.
Parasite infection at any age is an unpleasant problem, but it completely eliminates early treatment.
