Parasitic diseases are among the most common and occur at any age, regardless of gender. Infections often occur in children, especially during the warmer seasons. The risk group also includes people who come into contact with homeless animals and do not follow personal hygiene rules.
Originally found in the gastrointestinal tract, worms have formed, and the worms can penetrate the intestinal mucosa into the liver, lungs and even the brain, moving through the circulatory system.
sign
The presence of the parasite will be indicated by several major symptoms of infection, but there are also some distant signs due to the activity of the worm. Infected people may develop illnesses not related to the gastrointestinal tract.
Typical symptoms:
- Take the initiative to lose weight, although the appetite has improved, but people eat a lot;
- Fatigue, apathy, irritability for no reason;
- memory and concentration problems, absentmindedness;
- Muscle weakness and pain.
There are many types of worms that can cause other diseases. For example, Giardia can cause digestive problems, pork tapeworms can cause dramatic weight loss, and roundworms can cause allergic manifestations and even bronchial asthma. The worms transmitted from cats (liver flukes) can cause symptoms such as liver pain and increased body temperature.
important!Infection with worms is especially dangerous for a child's body, whose immune defenses are still weak, and they multiply rapidly and spread throughout the body.
It is also important to take into account that the child's stomach is smaller, but the worms grow in the same way, and because the organ has a strong stretch, they can occupy it completely, which can have extremely unpleasant consequences.
In children, helminthiasis is manifested by poor sleep, irritability, and loss of appetite(when worms fill the stomach), fatigue, indigestion. These are typical signs of the presence of roundworms or giardia in children.
The adult body already has a set of enzymes that partially protect against infection. They are in the mouth, which becomes an important barrier to larval penetration.
Worth knowing!The patient had a severe allergic reaction to the infection.
Worms negatively affect immune defenses, protective mechanisms are reduced, and the function of the liver and the entire digestive tract is disturbed. Infected persons are susceptible to various seasonal infectious diseases, colds, flu, etc. Treatment of these conditions has required more effort and longer time.
Parasites are divided into species, there are intestinal and extra-intestinal. The former enter the gastrointestinal tract and multiply there, while the extraintestinal ones spread to the muscles, liver, heart, lungs, subcutaneous and other organs. The latter are very dangerous because they can get anywhere in the bloodstream and disrupt the function of any organ.
Ascaris, pinworms, toxocara (intestine) have the following manifestations:
- Allergic rashes, acne, facial and body acne;
- brittle hair and nails;
- the appearance of papilloma, warts of various types;
- Seborrhea and rough skin.
Often, prominent papillomas begin to appear in people who have worms on their bodies. Other signs of infection include progressive weight loss, bad taste, and bad breath. The patient begins to fall asleep anxiously and wakes up in the middle of the night.
In severe cases, the worms can cause cardiovascular disease, benign and malignant tumors.They can cause seizures, a symptom of diabetes. Nocturnal grinding of teeth can be observed, but this does not prove the presence of disease.
attention!The human liver is particularly negatively affected by liver flukes, which cause a strong inflammatory process in the organ. When infected, blockage of the hepatic ducts occurs, with negative effects on the vascular system.
The danger is that in the initial stages, the disease may not manifest in any way, but as its causative agent grows, a vivid clinical picture of the disease can already be seen. Many times, a person turns to the wrong specialist because worms can cause various diseases that mask the real cause of the disease.
Liver flukes can present with the following symptoms:
- Body temperature up to 39 degrees;
- Dermatological manifestations in the form of skin rash, redness of the skin;
- upper abdominal pain;
- When the organ is felt, an increase in the liver is observed;
- The performance of indigestion, diarrhea followed by constipation.
Without treatment, a person's condition will gradually worsen, symptoms will increase, and dangerous signs of serious infection will already appear. Patients experience insomnia, irritability, nervousness, and unreasonable loss of physical strength. There was also significant pain in the abdomen and back, biliary colic. Often, infection is accompanied by manifestations such as cyst formation in internal organs.
The most common group of signs of infection:
- Violation of intestinal function in the context of large-sized worms, which can lead to obstruction;
- constipation, which is the result of blockage in certain parts of the bowel;
- Diarrhea that occurs when the worms eliminate substances such as chloride and sodium without leaving the body with the feces;
- bloating, soreness due to the accumulation of worms in the upper part of the intestine;
- Anal itching and nocturnal tremors are mandatory symptoms of pinworm infection.
