Most often, liver man struck giardia, Fluke, and Echinococcus. Parasites in the liver of a person occur frequently, and it is related to intense metabolism taking place in his tissues. The disease leads to a reduction of the working capacity of a person, the overall deterioration of the health condition, slowing down the development in the children's age. Therefore, parasites that live in the liver is to be sure to remove, to human health.
What are the parasites attack the liver?
Worms in the liver — a topical issue in Parasitology and gastroenterology today. Detection of this disease is different from the place of residence of the person, his social level, or age peculiarities. Pathology is usually chronic in nature and high probability of serious complications. Helminths identified in the liver, may be an independent disease or in combination with other parasites in the intestines, the circulatory and the lymphatic system.
So, what diseases can talk about the parasites in the liver:
- giardiasis;
- ascariasis;
- echinococcosis;
- strongyloidiasis;
- opisthorchiasis;
- amoebiasis;
- schistosomiasis;
- balantidia.
It's no secret that the liver is a vital organ of a person, where there are the intensive metabolic processes associated with the continuous flow of oxygen and nutrients, blood, against which it becomes very interesting parasites. The disease in its tissues, protozoa and worms may be the cause of the death of a person, but they are constantly secrete a poisonous and toxic compounds, as a result of his own life, causing irreparable damage to health.
Symptoms of liver damage
Worms, living in the liver of humans, causing the following symptoms of the disease:
- icteric tint of the mucus and skin sheets, expressed itching of the skin, which can be confused with allergic;
- digestive disorders: nausea, vomiting, indigestion;
- soreness and pathological increase in the size of the liver — hepatomegaly;
- general weakness, feeling of weakness, deterioration in performance, sleep disturbances, poor mood, reduction in trainability;
- feelings of pain in the right hypochondrium, usually obtuse periodic character.
Very often in humans occurs rash. It is diagnosed by far not in all cases, but its appearance becomes the result of an allergic development mechanism of the worm invasion, which in chronic process causing in the body the process of hypersensitivity to its poisons and toxins.
As usual, the temperature increase in this case, the long-term nature according to the type of subfebrile, i.e. temperature may increase up to a height of 37-37,5°C.
Those were common symptoms of parasites in the liver, about how amazingly the body on the whole, let's see in the table.
| Type of helminthiasis | How is manifested the disease |
|---|---|
| ECHINOCOCCOSIS | When this disease is in the liver consists of several cystic formations, which contain parasites. Disease long takes place covertly, then causes general symptoms. The cyst gradually increases, which causes a lot of unpleasant sensations of the patient. When large cysts required surgical treatment. |
| ASCARIASIS | The causative agent of the disease is usually lives in the intestine roundworm in liver usually end up migration by. In the tissues of the organs, which produce eosinophilic infiltrates. People complain of itching and no skin rashes. |
| OPISTHORCHIASIS | Fluke or opisthorchis are parasitic in the ducts of the liver and gall bladder. Cause holangiogepatit that flows with abdominal pain, jaundice and low-grad febris. |
| STRONGYLOIDIASIS | The availability of these worms in the liver induces a defeat of the authority with dyskinesia of the biliary system. Symptoms: loss of appetite, bitterness in the mouth, yellowing of the skin and mucus, pain in the hypochondrium. Perhaps the most agonizing form of the disease in all the others. |
| GIARDIASIS | Giardia cause dyskinesia of the biliary tract. Symptoms: pain in the hypochondrium, nausea, jaundice. |
| AMOEBIASIS | The disease is carried out according to the type of acute forms of hepatitis. The liver increases in size, in his tissues to form abscesses. Symptoms: fever, jaundice, abdominal pain, the defeat of the tissue of the organ with the prospect of the development of cirrhosis. |
| BALANTIDIA | Ciliates lead to painful reaction of the liver on palpation, diarrhea with streaks of blood and mucus, dehydration, fever and other unpleasant symptoms. |
If granted there's no treatment, the disease relatively quickly passes in a chronic process. In this case, there is damage to the central nervous system, a person begins to complain of frequent headaches, dizziness, increased irritability.
In the neglected case can mean excessive sweating, tremor of eyelids, hands and tongue. The fact that it is in such condition that not all doctors suspected the patient of the invasion as a key cause of the disease, and spends the treatment of neuroses, vascular dystonia and other diseases.
How is the infection?
Settle in the body of a man — child or adult, and later, affecting the liver, intestinal worms can in the following ways:
- in the course of contact with the ground, as the eggs of nematodes, liver fluke, Ascaris, and roundworm can live in soil substrate, consequently they are easy to get into the body, along with poorly washed vegetables and fruits, through the bare feet and hands dirty;
- when direct interaction with an infected person, for example, pinworms easy to carry in a collective through everyday items, such as bedding, or dirty hands;
- from enabled — through saliva, fur, contact with feces, etc.;
- when consuming consciously not boiling infected water, so it can spread liver fluke, hookworm and other helminths;
- while poorly processed food, for example, violation of the process of cooking fish, burgers, and also popular in recent times, rolls and sushi, in this case, as the parasites like Fluke, liver fluke, roundworm and Echinococcus easily settle in the body of the infected person;
- after the insect bites.
It's no secret that children are the most often carriers of the worm invasion. To explain this toy: immunity in childhood consists is not enough, the body continues to grow and develop, which require large amounts of strength and energy. The result is a weakened immune system, but also age-related, the weak acidity of gastric juice, compared with adults, makes the body more susceptible to various kinds of defeat.
To do this from an early age a child rush to actively absorb the world around you, and trying to make it not just at the touch of his hands, but also by the mouth, trying to taste absolutely everything — both at home and on the street. Despite comprehensive care, which are surrounded by the most children, not all parents can educate a child in the preschool years the elementary rules of hygiene. So from infection with worms in the family where there are small children, no one is immune.
