A variety of parasites can live in a person.It can be not only multicellular and simpler, but also viruses, bacteria, fungi.They parasitize due to the human body.Harmful microorganisms can live not only in the intestines, but also in muscles, blood, etc.With parasites, it is necessary to start a fight as soon as possible.Otherwise, complications cannot be avoided.
Varieties of parasites
There are many parasitic organisms that feel great in the human body.They all have characteristic features.
Round worms
Round worms or nematodes include about 1000 subspecies in their group.The most famous representatives are Pinworms, Trichinella, Toxocar, Anquilostoma, a non -core and an ascar.They enter the body through the oral cavity or the skin.The main representatives of the round worms are described in the table.
| Parasite | Description |
| Speakers | This is a round worm, whose length does not exceed 2-12 mm.The females are generally larger.The representatives in the lower intestine and in the colon are parasites.Adult females lay eggs in the perianal region.Very often, such representatives are found in children.The eggs fall into the patient's hands when the anus is combed, which crashes in the presence of such parasites.It is itching that is one of the first symptoms. |
| Trichinella | Tricinelles belong to nematodes.Parasites enter the body along with poorly processed meat.After entering the body, its full intoxication begins.In the neglected case, parasites can cause death in humans. |
| Toxocar | This parasite often lives in the bodies of animals, including cattle.Young children are highly susceptible to toxocaryosis.The parasite multiplies very quickly, so treatment must be started immediately. |
| Ankylostomas | It is believed that every 4 people on the planet are bearers of this parasite.An adult can live in the body of a guest for 8 years.With adequate and timely treatment, 95% of 100 patients can be treated by ankylostomas.The parasite enters the body together with the contaminated soil. |
| Nekator | These representatives are small.Their length reaches up to 2 cm.The female parasite launches up to 10 thousand eggs per day.The parasitic larvae enters the external environment together with the stool. |
| Nematodes | Roundworms can grow up to 35 cm in length.First, the parasite develops in the small intestine and then spreads throughout the body.For individuals to become sexually mature, it is necessary to re-enter the body. |
After roundworms penetrate the human body, the process of developing pathological symptoms begins.The intestinal walls become inflamed and for this reason the functioning of the digestive system is interrupted.Parasites in the body pose a serious danger.They absorb some nutrients.
Tape worms
Ribbon worms or Cestades in the body lead to the appearance of the baskety.Adults are only in the intestine.The larvae are able to spread throughout the body.A person can be infected with the following ribbon worms:
- Wide ribbon.This is the longest elminto in the world.It is able to grow at 15-17 meters.A large feed causes significant damage to the human body.Instead of his attachment, shape of wounds.
- Bullnose taper.This is another large parasite that negatively affects human health.It is most often located in the small intestine.Infection occurs when infected meat, which was poorly heat-treated, is used.
- Pork tension.The chain can grow up to several meters in length.Parasite vectors can be wild and domestic pigs.
- Echinococcus.The eggs enter the environment together with the fecal masses.Infection often occurs with non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene.
- Alveokokk.In length, the parasite grows at 2.2 mm.The infection occurs through food products that are contaminated by infected feces.
The pathology occurs mainly by the ailments of the gastrointestinal tract.A nervous activity disorder appears.Human well -being -being is constantly deteriorated.
Sosal workers
Ensalter are flat worms.These are one of the most dangerous representatives.Almost all dishes parasitized in the owner's body.Only in a certain phase of development do the owner change.
A change of guest eliminates the possible overpopulation in the guest body.The most common representatives of the Trematodes include:
- Siberian fluke.Infection occurs when eating fish that has undergone insufficient heat treatment.It is in human fecal matter that the eggs of this parasite are contained.The parasite grows up to 13 mm in length.The body is almost completely transparent.
- Blow on the liver.A parasite that can infect both animals and humans.An adult grows up to a maximum of 8 cm.The infection is possible by eating dirty plants on which the Trematode has already settled in its intermediate form.There is also the risk of infection through water.
- Schistosoma.If left untreated, schistosome can cause sudden death of the patient.Only 6 varieties of this parasite are dangerous for humans.The microorganism can be found in blood vessels, in the bladder.The infection often occurs when swimming in fresh water.
- Clonorchis.People working in public catering establishments are susceptible to infections.Clonorchis occurs most often in men over the age of 35.I'm at risk.The eggs of the parasite are excreted in the feces.
Most often, parasites enter the body by eating raw or undercooked fish.Another common option is the presence of poorly washed fruits and vegetables in the diet.
Trematodes
This is one of the varieties of flatworms.Their main feature is the presence of suckers.Trematodes include:
- Opisthorchiasis.The source of the infection is raw or not very cooked fish.Symptoms are not specific, therefore diagnosing the disease is quite difficult.The result is very often unfavorable.
- Fascioliase.When infected, damage to the liver and the bile system occurs.A characteristic sign of human infection is a strong increase in body temperature up to 39-40 degrees.
- Dictated.Elminiasis, whose etiological agent is the blow of fortune lanceolate.Further damage to the liver and gallbladder occurs with the pathology.
The parasite is distributed all over the world and represents a serious threat to livestock and human beings.
Protozoa
Protozoaric parasites include unicellular parasites.Some of the representatives are the oldest inhabitants on the earth.The parasites successfully adapt to the new conditions and reproduce thanks to their simple structure.The parasite can live both in the skin and directly in the human body.
The movement of unicellular organisms can be carried out with the help of cilia, flagella and pseudopodia.The types of such parasites include:
- Scourged.They have an oval or pear -shaped body.The main difference is the presence of flagelli.Their number can be 1-8.The parasite absorbs food over the entire body surface.The infection can take place through insect stings, poor personal hygiene and promiscuity.
- Sporovikov.They are able to live in different human organs.Nutrition, respiration, the release of life products are carried out by the entire surface of the parasite's body.
- Infuse.These are ciliary or sucking parasites.They live in fresh, soil waters.
- Sarcodov.The parasite consists of a cell.Some varieties of sarcoids are able to live in human teeth if hygiene is insufficient.
Single-celled can lead to a number of dangerous diseases, including malaria, amoebiasis, lambliosis, etc.Infection is possible in a lifetime of all contacts, fecal-oral, through infected products, as well as a transmission method.
Protosi - infections caused by man with the activities of protozoa microorganisms.Animals are also subject to pathologies.The pathologies that cause also include fungal infections.
In most cases, protozoan organisms come to a person from an animal.Furthermore, their success is possible through water, soil and from human to human.
Ectoparasiti
The ectoparasites are parasites that live on the body's surface and on the external organs.They can be a provocative of skin diseases.In addition, ectoparasites tolerate various infections.
The ectoparasiti group includes:
- Lice.This is a parasite that overcomes the blood.The oral organ easily pierces a person's skin.If necessary, lice can resist starvation for several days.Lice can be solid and head.Lice represent a serious danger, as they can carry infectious diseases.
- Flea.These are temporary ectoparasites.Transmitted from a person to an animal and vice versa.They offer severe bite discomfort.
- Ixodic ticks.Unlike other ectoparasites, it is easy to get rid of the tick.To do this, use vegetable oil or paraffin.The main thing is to take the extracted tick for examination.This will help ensure that it is not a vector of infection
Most often, ectoparasites affect animals, but human infection is also possible, for example, with ticks or lice.Blood parasites.They differ in high playback speed.
Helminths
At the moment, experts are distinguished by 280 types of worms.Everyone is able to live and develop in the human body.It is a mistake to believe that elmintiasis occur only in people of dysfunctional families.Verms can also occur in rich people who carefully monitor their hygiene.
Helmans can be infected in several ways.Parasites can translate from animal, from human to human, as well as in contact with infected land.Most often, worms appear in children.This is due to non-compliance with prevention measures.
The first symptoms may not appear immediately.They can occur after 2-3 days or several weeks.It all directly depends on which parasites have entered the body.Helminthosis can be acute and chronic.
Classification of parasites
All parasites are divided into species.There are large groups on:
- way of infection;
- Position method;
- Biological characteristics.
Each of the groups has its own characteristic features.
By type of location
A temporary, stationary and transit of localization is distinguished.In the first case, the parasite lives in the owner's body only in a certain phase of development.In a stationary form, parasites are constantly in the human body.The transitory form is the period of migration of the parasite to the habitat.
In treatment, doctors always take into account not only the form of the parasite, but also the place of its residence.In total parasites are divided into 2 main categories.Parasites that live on the skin are ectoparasites.Parasites that have settled inside the owner belong to endoparasites.
Internal parasites, in turn, are divided into 2 categories: tissue parasites and parasites of abdominal organs.There are also atypical forms.In this case, parasites are found in places unusual for them.
External parasites can be temporary and constant.Those that feed on blood through bites are temporary.They can cause infections.The remaining parasites violate the integrity of the skin.
Intcellular parasites are also found.These include, for example, the malaric plasmodium.
By method of infection
Parasites can also be classified based on the method of infection.The following penetration methods are distinguished:
- Contact and family.In this case, parasites penetrate due to violation of sanitary and hygienic rules.
- Fecal-orale.In this case, the infection takes place through dirty hands and also with poor quality products.
- Transmission routes.The infection takes place through blood sucking insects.
- Active routes.This is the name of the infection method in which the parasites reach the owner in the larval stage.
Thanks to the numerous entry routes it is possible to contract parasite infection anywhere.Only preventive measures can reduce the risk of infection.
According to biological characteristics
According to their biological characteristics, parasites are divided into two categories: unicellular and multicellular.The first group includes Sporozoi, Ciliati, Flagellaati and histological Amebe.The main method of infection is to ignore the rules of personal hygiene.
Multicellular parasites usually include worms, insects and arachnids.The danger of infection, for example, with the helminths, is that the worms damage the tissues and the internal organs.
The most common multicellular parasites are worms.
Multicellular parasites are more dangerous.They are characterized by a rapid reproduction rate and a complex life cycle.
Where there can be parasites
Some parasites can live in specific parts of the body, while others can spread throughout the body.It is quite difficult to diagnose the infection with a parasite.
Round worms live mainly in the digestive tract.Infection occurs when unwashed foods.
Parasites can be under the skin of a person.These representatives include R rishta.The parasite enters the body when using raw water.Tourists who go on vacation in countries where Risan is common is often infected.
The internal organs influence the Trematodes.They can live in the liver, the pancreas, the intestine, the biliary section.The main source of infection is the use of raw fish.
There are also tissue microorganisms.They can live in the spinal cord, muscle and connective tissues.The main source of infection is pets.
There are also eyes of the eyes.They can be round, dishes, Annelidi, pungent.The main source of infection is the low processing of fish or contact with infected animals.
The danger of parasitic infection for humans
Any parasitic infections require an emergency treatment.The first treatment is started, faster it will be possible to cope with parasites and less complications will arise.
Parasites in the human body can lead to serious pathologies:
- Some parasites lead to the development of acute colitis.The condition is significantly aggravated if the patient has an ulcer.In intestinal movements there could be blood, which is dangerous to develop anemia.The treatment should be started as soon as possible.
- Parasites can settle in the brain or liver.This condition can be dangerous not only for health, but also for the patient's life.When infected, there is the risk of cyst development.
- Parasites living in the intestine can violate its integrity.Furthermore, there is a risk of blockage.
- Parasites cause a significant blow to the human immune system.The destruction of leukocytes and red blood cells occurs.This almost instantly affects a person's general well -being.
- Parasites take nutrients from the human body.The risk of developing thyroid disease increases anemia.In addition, the condition of the hairline and nail plates worsens.
- The body is poisoned by toxic components.Vital products of parasites are poison to humans.The more there are, the worse a person's health.The risk of developing allergies, asthma, as well as choking attacks, increases.
Parasites are especially dangerous for children.The infection turns into a large number of unpleasant symptoms.In the child, appetite is lost, body weight, apathy and fatigue appear.The baby may often cry and become restless.Under the eyes, visible dark circles appear.
The child is in the growth phase, so it is important that it receives quite nutritious.If there are parasites in the body, this is impossible.The conditions of the child quickly worsen every day.The child can have a serious delay in development.
The danger of parasites is that they can live in a person for months and years without being noticed.During this time, he will significantly weaken and face a lack of nutrients.Possible complete exhaustion.Only timely treatment helps to prevent it.
Factors contributing to infection
Often people themselves are responsible for the appearance of the worms.There are a series of factors that increase the probability of parasites.These include:
- I refuse to wash your hands before eating;
- Introduction of infections together with dirty shoes;
- ignore the signs of worms in pets;
- drink raw water;
- Eat unsasted fruit and vegetables;
- poor heat treatment of meat and fish;
- eating out often;
- weakened immunity after taking potent drugs.
First, the eggs of the parasite enter the intestine.They are then absorbed into the bloodstream and the larvae spread throughout the body.
Parasites spread more quickly in large groups of children.This is due to ignorance of hygiene rules and too close contact.
Symptoms of parasites in the human body
It is important to know that sometimes parasites do not show themselves at all for a long period of time.The symptoms are often common and the first time it is almost invisible.
The first symptoms of parasites in the body are a quick loss and without the cause of body weight, as well as the appearance of a feeling of itching in the anus.You can only make sure that parasitic infections are due to diagnosis.The symptoms of infection often include various nervous system disorders and general weakness in the body.
A person who has parasites suffers from a lack of vitamins.This contributes to the appearance of fatigue, strong sleepiness and constant apathy.
If parasites live in the intestines, the emergence of problems with the digestive system is inevitable.Diarrhea may alternate with constipation.There is a risk of increased gas formation and a painful sensation in the right hypochondrium.
In the presence of parasites in humans, the protective functions of the body are reduced.Due to poor immunity, there is the risk of various infectious diseases.
One of the brightest signs of parasites is the spontaneous aspect of signs of allergies.In addition, an allergic rhinitis or impenetrable dry cough can start disturbing.
Diagnosis of elmintiasis
Only after the diagnosis and confirmation of the presence of worms can they proceed with their treatment.In order to verify in the presence of parasites, doctors use different diagnostic methods:
- Macroscopic.For him, the patient's feces are taken for analysis.As an additional equipment, a microscope or enlargement is used.This method is used to look for Pinworms or Ascaris.
- Microscopic.To do this, an often strip is taken, which is subsequently examined on a special membrane.
- Immunological.In this case, antibodies against one or the other type of helminth are sought in the blood.This method is used to look for a huge number of different parasites.
- Biopsy.The presence of worms is determined by examining muscle tissue.
- Instrumental.Such methods are used to determine the amount of internal organs and tissues damaged by parasites.These methods include ultrasound, X-ray, computed tomography.
Treatment of parasitic festival
To eliminate parasites, you can give preference to both medicinal methods and traditional methods.It is better to combine them.In this case, the effectiveness of the therapy will be more pronounced and rapid.
The treatment is selected on an individual basis.The most effective therapy is selected by the doctor, taking into account all the characteristics present in a particular patient.
Popular remedies for parasites in the human body
Traditional treatment methods are no less effective than drugs.Their main advantage is complete security for the patient.
One of the best medicines is garlic juice.Contains phytoncides.It is they who destroy parasites in the body.The juice is taken three times a day.Start with 5 drops a day.The dosage is gradually increased.
Another effective remedy is the absinthe tincture.Like garlic, it contains phytoncids.To prepare medicine, 1 tablespoon of absinthe is mixed with 100 ml of alcohol.The drug is infused for a week in a dark place.Take 20 drops 3 times a day.The tincture is used 20 minutes before meals.
It is useful to include many carrots in the diet and drink their juice.It has a harmful effect on parasites.It is recommended to take 1 glass of fresh carrot juice 30 minutes before meals.
Herbal decoctions have a wonderful effect on the body.To prepare a remedy against parasites, mix 1 tbsp.tansy, wormwood, aspen bark.Pour all components into a glass of water and bring to a boil.Take after cooling.Drink the decoction 3 times a day, 125 ml before meals.
The main disadvantage of traditional therapy is that some drugs can cause an allergic reaction in case of intolerance to specific components.In this case, you will have to reconsider your therapy and find a decoction or tincture that does not contain allergens.
There is also an opinion that to combat a small number of parasites it is enough to reconsider your diet.In the menu you need to include:
- pumpkin seeds;
- raw fruit and vegetables;
- coconut and pineapple;
- Chile;
- garlic;
- various vegetable oils.
All listed products negatively affect the activity of parasites.
Pharmacological treatment of parasites
Pharmacological treatment is more effective.The main thing is to take all the drugs considered.It is important to know that they are powerful, so their use is possible only after a preliminary consultation with a doctor.
Self-mediation with worms is strictly prohibited.There is a risk that the patient will only worsen his own well-being, not using the medicines required in a particular case.
Paizit Prevention in the human body
It is easier to prevent the appearance of parasitic microorganisms than to fight them in the future.Everyone must adhere to existing safety measures.For this reason, we recommend:
- use only purified water for washing products and drinking;
- Do not use other people's hygiene items;
- give drugs for parasites to animals for prevention;
- abandon the use of dirty fruit and vegetables;
- Refuse the use of raw fish.
The diagnosis is periodically required to make sure there are no harmful microorganisms.Without preventing prevention measures, the risk of infection is minimal.It is particularly important to ensure that children adhere to the recommendations.I am in the main risk group.
