To date, the prevalence of diseases caused by parasites, diseases remains high. Among the children of preschool or younger school age is the most common in the rectum worm-infection. If the family has children, in most cases, the infected adults. Another very common helminths that occur in those countries where the moderate climate, is not always symptomatic, ascariasis. In adults, a Hobby related to hunting, fishing, and the characteristic difillobotrioz, and then another.
Unlike children, adults have a stronger immune system, as well as formed body which is the symptoms of this infection worm requires a high parasite load. Most helminths do not know, to complete the whole cycle of the development of the organization, as well as the number of women, repeated consumption of the eggs. That's why the people who are inside the worm, there are often a number of the symptoms of worms, people don't appear never, or many, many years. The most common worms live several weeks to two years. Others, like pig, cattle, and other cep to parasites within human decades. There are also dangerous worms that I don't long to live, but it is able to indefinitely multiply, the host organisation (dwarf tapeworm, Ancylostoma, etc.).
Helminthiasis is caused by different pathogens can also occur under the guise of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, circulatory system, and diseases of the respiratory system.
Common symptoms, the worms, the people
In most cases, the symptoms, the worms, the people for a long time not seen, although the damage they cause. But it all depends on the infection load and the type of parasite.
Most likely, the symptoms of the presence of the worms, the people in a general malaise, fatigue, weakness, itching of the anus.
The main features of the worms, which are particularly often becomes noticeable to a person (especially a child), there is a sharp loss of body weight, anemia, weakness, pale skin, digestive disorders (constipation, diarrhea), vomiting, presence in the stool symptoms, such as the segments of the tapeworms or adults.
In addition to the general symptoms, the worms, the people, the presence of a number of specific manifestations, which are individual for each system of the body.
Gastro-intestinal tract
If the primary localization of worm infection in the lumen of the intestine, the main signs of this condition in violation of the functions of the digestive system. The main symptoms of worms in adults lesions of the digestive system can be divided into:
- alternating constipation, diarrhea;
- nausea, vomiting;
- abdominal pain without clear localization;
- the excessive bloating.
The severity of these symptoms are different for each person, as well as certain clinical cases.
An excessive amount of adult worms in the intestinal lumen can cause complete or partial overlap, in which the prolonged illness of the chair.
Central nervous system
The result of the activity of most helminths toxic substances, because the phenomenon of intoxication of the organism. Constant exposure to toxic substances in the body leads to the formation of permanent disorders of the Central nervous system. The central nervous system symptoms, the worms, the adults, are the following:
- headache, of varying intensity
- dizziness
- a feeling of nausea, sometimes vomiting
- the fever, until the fever
- pain, big and small joints.
Beriberi, which is a constant companion helminthiasisok infection and the toxic effects on the nervous system leads to the formation of chronic fatigue syndrome, loss of concentration, and increased sleepiness or insomnia.
Skin
Today, fully proven, that the worms, as well as the allergies, the adults United cause-and-effect relationship. A person suffering from helminthiasis, worsening the condition of the skin. The slag materials, the majority of the worms observed by the body as foreign agents, which is the formation of allergic reactions.
As a result, the excessive production in the body is the main mediator of allergies — histamine, were observed on the surface of the skin-specific lesions, edema. In addition to the person start to disturb the constant feeling of itching, you may have a cough, nasal congestion.
The immune system
Accompanied by a decrease in all body functions, a sharp inhibition of immune protection to the person. The decrease in the protective forces in the body may lead to worsening of existing chronic diseases or the formation of inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity, oral cavity, organs of the female reproductive system.
It is noteworthy that one of the possible causes of night snoring can be a worm infection in the body.
The most common symptoms of helminthiasisok infections
Characteristics of clinical symptoms, as well as the extent of the aid intensity directly depends on the type of pathogen. For example, ascariasis is possible to observe the first symptoms of worms in adults after 2 days from the moment of infection during larval migration bloodstream. Some parasites have an incubation period of 18 months.
Ascariasis
The main symptoms of ascariasis in adults is directly dependent on the phases of the life cycle of helminths. The migration of the larvae, the causative agents of ascariasis occurs under means that the bloodstream, as well as additional flow of the blood in the body. If the larvae enter the tissues of the lungs, the main symptoms of the disease can be called the appearance to subfebrile temperature, dry cough, weakness, general malaise. In severe cases, may develop a purulent bronchitis, and pneumonia. When the bloodstream, the larvae ascarids fall into the gastrointestinal tract, violation of functions. A person suffering from parasites, there is a sharp loss of body weight.
Enterobiasis
The distinctive, pronounced symptom of the disease is the appearance of severe itching in the anus, which can significantly enhance the night. Another important diagnostic feature of infection duration, frequency, itching. In this case, the itching doesn't last for more than 2 consecutive days, after which the individual disappears, then appears again after 2-3 weeks.
Intestinal schistosomiasis, hookworm morbo, richocephalosis, difillobotrioz
The combination of the varieties of helminthiasis, the fact that each one gives a similar clinical picture. The results with medium flows (the relatively small number of parasites) in these patients is imbalance, the normal and the pathogenic micro-flora in the intestines, so the main symptoms in adults expressed in the form of dysbiosis, abdominal pain, flatulence, diarrhea (including blood). If you have more severe symptoms more serious.
Other manifestations of this group of helminths include vitamin, 12 deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, vitamin a deficiency A.
Schistosomiasis (genitourinary)
The development of this form of schistosomiasis is manifested as disorders of urination, as well as the typical impurities are blood in the urine.
Another one
The specified variety of helminths is often manifested through the following symptoms:
- the increased body temperature, fever;
- edema of the face, especially the eyelids;
- spontaneous pain in the muscles.
Strongyloidiasis
The trigger is usually pretium intestine. This kind of worm infection characterized by a primary lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. The main disease symptoms are the following:
- the lesions of the gallbladder or biliary tract;
- diarrhoeal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence);
- allergic reaction of varying severity.
The clonorchiasis, fascioliasis, opisthorchiasis
Presented to a group helminthiasisok infection predominantly affects the liver parenchyma, gallbladder, bile duct. The most likely symptom of opisthorchiasis in adults are as follows:
- the enlarged liver, the spleen (liver);
- increasing the concentration in the blood (icteric syndrome);
- the development of the chronic inflammation of the pancreas, and the holecistoholangit;
- violations of the Central nervous system.
The article describes the symptoms of the common types of worms that infected people. Some, especially the zoonotic helminths may have different clinical picture, which includes growing parts of the body, the bullet under the skin or in the eyes partial or complete loss of vision without back. To confirm or disprove that the infection is only possible by way of passing a special laboratory tests, which are prescribed by the doctor separately.
