Studies in the field of parasitic medicine are informed by alarming events. More than 90% of all age categories of the population are affected by the helmi -invasion, or have a hidden form of transport of several parasites. They cause many problems, causing various diseases that avoid the normal life of a person. Choosing habitat: the human body, parasites can virtually extend to all organs and systems, causing pathological changes in them and violating the function of their work.
The main types of parasites in the human body
The group of parasites that made their habitat of the human body include the simplest microorganisms, round and tape worms:
- Speakers. These are small parasites (long, no more than a cm and a half), which are transmitted to domestic way or in contact with an infected person. Very often, the flies that transport the larvae of these parasitic worms are for the bearers of this helminical invasion. Once in the products, they remain there for a long time, and if they are not processed, they enter the human body. Spreading in the human body, cause enterobiasis. Most of the time, preschool and school age are subject to this type of disease. Enterobiasis lesions in children and adult populations can reach up to 90 percent. The habitat of these parasites are the segments of the blind, the coronor of the intestine. This type of parasites does not breathe air; Oxygen is not necessary for its existence. The nutrients for this are the content of the intestines. After the mating, which occurs in the ileum of the ileum, leaving the anus, the female places the larvae in the sphincter area of the anus. The greatest danger that enterobiasis is highly contagious. Parasites are very easy to infect with the slightest deviation from individual hygiene standards.
- ASKARIDS. They belong to the round worms class. Parasitized in the small intestine. Call ascariasis. The source of infection is a sick person or animal. The infection occurs through food, not washed hands. Parasite worms cysts fall on the ground, mature to the larvae level, are dangerous for humans. If a person has previously used fruits or unwashed vegetables, the body is infected. This is also facilitated by unhealthy residence conditions, insufficient food treatment.
- Hookworm. They lead to the development of the pathological process in the body. This is a small parasite, which does not reach more than 2 cm in its length. Most of the time, young children are infected (especially in rural areas, due to the barefoot).
- Wide tape. It belongs to the group of strips worms, has 12 varieties. The main parasitization site is the department of intestine. The main path of body infection occurs when fish (which did not approve enough heat treatment), or through objects that were used to cut meat (knives, cutting table). This type of parasites feeds on all beneficial substances that a person uses. Its length can reach 15 meters.
- Bull and pork. These are tape worms, whose length is 10 meters. When it is infected with spores of the bullring, Tusiarinchosis develops, and in the case of pig chain larvae, taeniasis disease develops, its larval stage is known as Quisiracois. The development of such pathologies is often facilitated by eating poorly processed meat. But sometimes the infection can occur through unwashed hands and food. As a general rule, in the small intestine of the body, when infected with this disease, a strip worm lives. In some cases, the duration of its existence can last up to 20 years. Since, with the help of their hooks, which are in the head of the parasite, it is well attached to the small intestine wall. And therefore, sometimes difficulties arise to withdraw.
- Equinocos. These are tape worms up to 8 mm long, they can cause a disease called equinococosis. The disease is often found in animals (cats, dogs, foxes, wolves). It should be noted that the human body, for equinoctic pathology, is a place of intermediate residence. The infection process occurs during direct contact with the animal, or when cutting it. This type of disease is more affected by the rural population dedicated to animal breeding. The disease often occurs without symptoms, and in the case of its manifestation, cystic formations occur. To eliminate them, it is necessary to use only the surgical method.
- Lamblia. Driving to the development of Lambliosis. The parasites belong to the ZHGUUTIKOV class, are representatives of the Demolomonaduro detachment. A favorite habitat is a thin intestine of a person or animals. Sometimes they can affect the digestive system of birds. The infection occurs in two ways: sometimes there is infection through the respiratory tract. The cysts enter the body through the lungs, together with the inhaled dust, the clinical image in this pathology can disguise itself like other diseases. And is accompanied by the development of diseases of the nervous system, heart and endocrine.
- Parasitic fungi. They are capable of causing different pathological conditions in the human body (actinomycosis, lichens, microsporia, trrochophosis, favus, erytrazm). They live in the human body, affecting the skin, hair, nail phalanx.
- African malaria parasites.This group includes malaria plasmodios. They are able to cause malaria. This disease is transmitted only through mosquitoes. For our area, this disease is not characteristic. She is subject to people living in the countries of the South. Such an infectious disease can develop when visiting these countries. A characteristic of this disease is that local residents have the opportunity to get much lower than tourists. This is due to the fact that they develop immunity.
The infection is based on several basic forms:
- Fecal-Oral. The use of unwashed vegetables and fruits, not boiled water.
- Ping. With this type of infection, the larvae of the Helmintica invasion fall through the skin pores.
- Householehold of contact, through everyday household items or in contact with the infected.
A characteristic of all forms of helminical parasites is that they eat at the expense of its owner (person or animal), while selecting useful nutritional ingredients (glucose, micro and useful macroements, carbohydrates). As a result of such a pathological effect, the body begins to experience an acute lack of potassium, magnesium, zinc, silicon, selenium, as well as many vitamins. Another characteristic of these parasites is a high degree of adaptation. They adapt to the working conditions of the owner's body. And become invisible to the immune system.
The causes of infection with the parasites of the human body
Among the forms of infection, the following can be distinguished:
- Eggs and parasitic larvae penetrate the body when dirty and without peeling are used. Or when eating food (fish, meat, canned food), which have not received enough heat treatment. This is also facilitated by eating unwashed vegetables and fruits.
- The eggs and the hemmintos cysts remain on the surface of the skin with direct contact with everyday objects (door handles, money, toys, stairs). In addition, the source of infection can be contained in the ground, when contacting the ground, the parasites spores fall on the hands. And if they are not completely washed, this also creates a risk of threat of body infection with various types of helmets. Therefore, the hands should be washed not only before eating, but also several times during the day, especially if there is contact with the floor.
- Several insects (flies, wasps, fleas) create a real threat of worm infection. For this, the insect does not have to make a bite. It is enough that, sometimes, they penetrate freely in the house and sit in the food, the cutlery, leaving them spores of the larvae of the parasites worms.
If daily work consists of direct contact with animals (veterinarian, rural resident, cattle), the probability of the disease increases significantly.
The main signs and symptoms of parasites in the body
A very important role in the appearance of the first basic signs and symptoms with the development of helminical invasions is occupied by its location and skills in the human body. Most of the time, they settle in the upper parts of the small intestine (wide tape, bull and pork chain, ascárides).
Vlasov, for its habitat, chooses the segment of the large intestine. Opistorcosis affects the biliary tract of the ducts. The worms are found in the light of the colon and the rectum. Serious Dangerous Diseases may appear:
- Pain during urination.
- Adenomatous growth.
- An irregular and painful menstrual cycle.
- The appearance of hepatitis and dermatitis.
It is very important to pay attention to the previous symptoms. Despite the fact that, at first glance, they seem harmless, in fact, such signs may indicate the presence of parasites in the body.
Patients are often perceived by the symptoms that appear when the body appears as the presence of any other disease that is not associated with the appearance of worms. This is a great difficulty in making a precise diagnosis. The main symptoms in the development of parasitic worms in humans:
- Violation of the act of defecation (constipation). It appears due to the fact that the accumulation of worms makes it difficult to pass stool in the intestinal light.
- Sometimes diarrhea is observed. This is due to improved ferminas production (substance similar to the hormone, produced in the body of parasites), and leads to an imbalance of chloride ions. Which explains the cause of diarrhea.
- Increased gas formation.
- There is a violation of the processing and assimilation of lanolin (fat). This is due to the fact that by parasite in the light of the small intestine, parasites cause inflammatory diseases of the intestinal mucosa.
- Arthralgia and muscle pain occur.
- In response to the body, manifestations of allergies arise, sometimes in the form of a hives.
- Perhaps the development of ulcerative eczema, skin dermatitis, the appearance of tumors.
- In the case of the development of Helmintiasis, which feeds on blood elements, iron deficiency anemia is possible.
- With a clinical blood test, a small amount of red blood cells, a reduced level of hemoglobin and a decrease in the color indicator.
- Very often, the granulomas of the abdominal cavity or uterine, in the lungs and the liver.
- The psycho -emotional state of the patient is affected, which is expressed by aggressive unreasonable conditions, greater excitability.
- Due to severe itching in the anus, the night dream is disturbed.
- At night, the patient has a teeth rather (bruxism).
- The lack of hill, vitamins, amino acids, proteins and carbohydrates leads to the development of chronic fatigue, a decomposition of forces.
- The constant hunger sensation, the development of anorexia symptoms.
- Heart muscle disease, heart rate failure.
- In severe cases, the development of oncopatology.

Not only the type of parasite that has been established in the human body, but also in its age, gender, physical characteristics of the body, has a significant impact on the clinical image.
With the development of the acute stage of damage due to helminical invasions, the patient has all the acute poisoning signs of the entire organism:
- Nausea, becoming indomitable vomiting.
- Hyperthermia (sometimes at high numbers 38. 9).
- You parabas from anorer skin.
- Regional lymph nodes are inflamed.
- Pathological processes in the liver and lungs are aggravated.
If such symptoms appear, the doctor's visit is vital
Diagnosis of parasites in the human body
For a precise diagnosis, you must consult a parasitologist. But often in the clinics of the city there is no such standard unit. Therefore, you must communicate with a therapist or gastroenterologist for subsequent tests and an additional consultation of an infectious disease parasitologist. For a long time, the determination of the infection with the parasites was carried out only performing fecal tests for the presence of worm eggs, or a duodenal sound. A fence was carried out in the intestine content material.
When introducing a probe. Such research methods do not always reveal the presence of worms in the human body. Modern diagnostic methods (Elisa tests) allow it to detect and determine any form of parasitic worms in the human body. They are based on the identification of antibodies that the body produces in response to the poisoning caused by the helmi -invasion. In addition, serological techniques were widely used:
- REEF.
- Ral.
- RSK.
As an additional research method, it is used:
- Endoscopic examination.
- Ultrasound.
- Magnetic resonance
- Endobiopsy.
- Establish a precise diagnosis using PCR.
Recently, a synchrometer system has appeared. It is capable of detecting endotoxins, microbial flora and tumor cells using an expanded electromagnetic range. With the help of frequency resonance therapy, it can not only diagnose, but also the effective therapy of any form of helminths, regardless of where they live.
