About parasites

It is customary to call parasites in the human body all sorts of creatures living at its expense and causing various diseases.The prevalence of parasitic diseases has no boundaries, each species lives in its usual latitudes.For example, Trypanosoma, which provokes Shagas's disease, affects the inhabitants of Mexico, Central and South America.Moreover, low -income people with a low standard of living are more susceptible to these parasites.

Scientists are alarming: annually, 30% of people from the total number of dead die as a result of infectious or parasitic invasion.By the way, the intestinal parasites in humans are most widely used among all cases of infection.

General concepts about parasites

All creatures are classified into endoparasites and exo parasites, that is, those that live inside the human body or on its external shells.The former are represented by helminths, Protozoan and other organisms that cause ailments such as Sarcopsylla, Dermatobia, Linguatula, Macracanthorhynchus.The second group includes a head, pay and pubic, scabric tick and demodex tick, bed bed, mashed flies.

Particular attention among human parasites should be paid to a group of helminths, which is most often found in patients.The diseases caused by them include: aposcaridosis, opisthorchiasis, toxocarosis, trichinellosis, ivory, river blindness, in clonorchiasis, fascioliasis, Enterobiasis, ekhinococcosis, ankylostomosis and others.

Ways of infection with parasites:

1. contact - transmission through household items (furniture, bedding, clothes, toys), from an animal or other person;
2. Alimentary-the hit of parasites in a focal way, basically this happens when the infected water and products are consumed;
3. Transmission and percutaneous - are characterized by the penetration of parasite larvae through the mucous membranes or skin of a person or from blood -sucking insects.

Signs of parasites in the human body are usually visible to the naked eye.Invasia is reflected in the appearance: the quality of the skin, nails, hair, a person does not get out, becomes nervous, becomes nervous, and can lose weight.In addition, he is worried about nausea, loss of appetite, sometimes vomiting.These symptoms are especially clear if parasites are found in the stomach or human liver.

The main method of invasion therapy is considered to be cleaning the intestines from parasites.It is carried out as intended by the infectious disease specialist.Experts recommend plant remedies that gently affect the body.

Symptoms of infection

In general, the clinical picture with invasion is similar to many other diseases.Therefore, it is important to carry out a complete diagnosis of parasites and identify a specific pathogen.

Signs of the presence of parasites in the human body may differ depending on what specifically the patient is infected.General symptoms of invasion are as follows:

• muscle and articular arthralgia - caused by the response of the body to the settlement of parasites or their traumatic effect on tissue, this sign is often referred to symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism;
• dyspepsic syndromes - increased gas formation and bloating, diarrhea or constipation are ordinary symptoms of parasitic invasions, helminths block the intestinal and bile ducts in the body, thereby making it difficult to process natural bowel movements, and their settlement in the parts of the small intestine provokes the formation of gases and leads to meteorism;
• Allergic reactions - parasites in themselves are foreign elements for the human body, which leads to increased secretion of eosinophils, which, in turn, provoke an allergic reaction in the form of rashes, urticaries, itching;
• The poor condition of the skin develops against the background of allergies, anemia, as well as intoxication of the body, which entails a deterioration in the type of hair and nails;
• Inflammatory processes of the intestinal walls - as a result of less absorption of fats, they fall into the thick department of the intestine, which contributes to constipation, spasms;
• sleep disturbance and nervousness against the background of invasion of the body, which causes inconvenience to the patient: a person becomes depressive, irritated, feels constant fatigue, with enterobiosis, the patient combs the perianal region due to itching, which also affects the quality of sleep;
• Chronic fatigue syndrome develops as a result of a deterioration in the quality of life, in addition, the body does not receive vitamins, minerals, micro- and macro elements from food, the concentration of attention is reduced, the patient becomes apathetic, more often sick;
• Loss or weight gain - the first is connected with the consumption of food “for two”, the second - with a constant feeling of hunger and frequent meals;
• General disorders of the state are associated with greater exposure to stress, viruses, bacteria against the background of the decline of the body's immune forces.

Diagnostics

Examination for parasites is carried out if there are signs of a parasitic disease.Methods used until recently in medicine were replenished with an important way: analyzing the enzymes of immunity.Based on this method, antibodies are serologically determined to one or another pathogen or their antigens.

Other methods that help examine blood and identify parasites are known: the reaction of passive hemagglutination (RPG), the immunofluorescence reaction (RIF), the reaction of latex agglutination (RAL), the complint binding reaction (RSC).

The most accurate method is PCR, which allows you to determine the DNA of the parasite.However, with the help of PCR it is impossible to obtain information about the severity of the lesion.

How to identify parasites in the body?As a rule, first of all, they carry out the usual inspection of feces under a microscope for the presence of adults of parasites or their larvae.However, this research method is not always effective, since helminths may not be found in feces.In case of suspicion of Enterobiasis, scraping from the perianal region using a cotton wool or adhesive tape is carried out.

Duodenal sounding, endoscopy, biopsy are also used, depending on the alleged habitat of parasites and patient complaints.In case of suspicion of schistosomosis, urine is analyzed, as well as sputum from the lungs.According to the indications, ultrasound and radiological examination, magnetic refusal and computed tomography of the body as a whole are carried out.

Prevention of the disease

In order to avoid the settlement of parasites in the human body, it is necessary to adhere to simple rules.The main and strict point is the observance of hygiene.It is important to fulfill the following norms:

• periodically wash children's toys;
• Drive worms in animals - veterinarians recommend doing this twice a year: in the spring and autumn, as well as if there are suspicions of infection with pets with parasites;
• always and everywhere wash your hands;
• Before use, vegetables, fruits wash with warm, sometimes soap water;
• Do not bathe in polluted reservoirs, refrain from visiting public pools, saunas, if possible;
• carry out sufficient heat treatment of meat and fish;
• Drink only purified, not raw water.

One of the ways to prevent the disease and multiple invasion is preventive cleaning.The question of how to cleanse the body of parasites must be asked to a specialist.Especially careful in this regard should be in relation to children, only the pediatrician will help to choose the appropriate remedy.

Treatment of parasites

To date, medicine is known for medicines that effectively save the patient from invasion.Therapy is carried out according to the following scheme.

1. Prescribe drugs that directly affect the excretion of parasites.The choice of a particular drug depends on the type of invasive organism.
2. During antiparasitic cleaning, doctors advise simultaneously consuming a laxative.It must be taken 3 times a day to achieve a light chair.Provide prebiotics, irritating drugs, intestinal fillers, as well as plant fees.The latter are recommended for reception in children.
3. Vitamin complexes are recommended that help the body recover after prolonged intoxication.
4. Due to the harmful effects of antiparasitic drugs, drugs that restore the microflora are prescribed on the gastrointestinal tract.These include probiotics, prebiotics and their symbiosis.The former contain living bacteria.Prebiotics help the growth of healthy microflora. 

Even after the treatment of parasites in the human body, it is recommended to take laxatives during the week for the prevention of constipation.

Also, with multiple invasion and unpleasant symptoms of parasites, sedative medicines are prescribed in the body, which are aimed at improving the quality of sleep and the general condition of the patient.
