Parasitic disease – is a disease caused by protozoa, helminth, and insect. According to statistics, from a parasitic disease they suffer every fourth inhabitant of the planet. In Russia every year registers approximately 1.5 million cases of infection by parasites.
Infection is possible when the consumption of contaminated water, vegetables and fruits, foliage, buying fish and meat in "illegal" places, there, where the missing certificates of veterinary inspection, when communicating with pets. The danger of parasitic invasion that if left untreated, there is a slow destruction of the body.
Kinds of parasites in the human body
Organisms, parasitic in the human body, divided into true and false. The first group ranked pinworms, Giardia and other parasites, for which parasitism is the condition for the existence of, and the other, that accidentally get into the body, they begin to mope.
Each of the pathogenic micro-organisms has the smarts, the help of a foothold in the human body. Green, blades, teeth, hooks, which constantly damage the gastric mucosa. They have microscopic or of considerable size, destroys the useful bacteria, poisoning the body of its wastes and suppress immunity.
Symptoms of parasites in the human body
Because of the diversity of pathogenetic mechanisms of action of the parasites on the body the symptoms can be similar to with an infectious and surgical diseases. Therefore, for establishing the final diagnosis of medicine requires the results of laboratory research.
Doctors are highlighted typical symptoms of helminth infections and other parasites. Here are the most striking of them.
Allergic
- Itching ;
- Symptoms of hives;
- The development of a pseudo-allergy for water treatments, sunbathing, drinking soda pops, sweets and baking;
- Spontaneously arising and subsiding bouts of bronchoconstriction;
- Perianal itching, perioral dermatitis, cheilitis;
- Hair loss;
- Feverish syndrome;
- Education pustular rash.
Gastrointestinal
In chronic flow.
- Nausea, vomiting;
- Rapid weight loss;

- Lack of or decreased appetite;
- Pain when moving the tongue;
- The development of painful sensations in the near-umbilical and epigastric areas;
- The impossibility of the ingestion of fat;
- Increase salivation;
- An enlarged liver.
Astenovegetative
Occurred during the assault toxocariasis, hymenolepiasis, and cysticercosis, trichocephalosis.
- Sleep disorders;
- Increased irritability and fatigue;
- Hypochromic iron deficiency anemia;
- Deterioration of school performance on the background of reduction of memory, attention;
- The instability of the blood pressure;
- Headaches;
- Meningeal symptoms.
The causes of the occurrence of parasites in the human body
Assault other occurs because of a failure to comply with the rules of hygiene or violation of technology of preparation of dishes. List the main causes of the occurrence of parasites:
- Drinking dirty vegetables, fruit, not boiled water;
- Illiterate cooking;
- Non-compliance with hygiene rules, the employees of catering services, retailers;
- Contact with animals;
- Touch handles of public doors, handrails in public transport;
- Bathing in reservoirs, infected sistemami;
- The presence of flies in an apartment house;
- Work with the earth, or manure without gloves, play in the sandbox.
The main sources of infection by parasites
Worm infestation occurs by direct contact or ingestion. Through the mouth parasites can penetrate the body in two ways: through dirty hands, food, or the consumption of food of low heat-processed meat or fish, which are infected with larvae of parasites.
Parasites on fish
- Opisthorchiasis. Media: fish of the carp family. Fluke lives in the liver, the pancreas, causing a temperature rise to 40 degrees, intolerance to fatty, vomiting, tenderness in the right hypochondrium. The symptoms appear after 2-3 weeks. Opisthorchiasis take years, affects the internal organs.
- Clonorchiasis. Medium – fish, living in water tanks of China, Korea, Amur region. Symptoms similar to opisthorchiasis.
- Difillobotrioz. Medium – far east fish. Symptoms: bloating, nausea, salivation, irregular chairs, salivation.
- Antacids. Medium: herring (North sea be amazed at the 55-100%), cod, salmonids. Inside the body gets when eating raw fish. Symptoms: diarrhoea, rash, it is possible to, ulcers of the colon.
- Ligules. Medium: cyprinids as well. For humans non-hazardous, if the originator of the extract, and fish to expose the heat processing.
Parasites in the meat
- Trichinella spiralis. Path of infection – the wild game meat or pork. The larvae are blood get to the muscles, provoking pain in them, swelling of the face, the rash of allergic nature.
- Beef tapeworm infection. Medium – cattle, the way of infection – eat beef, exposed to the minimal thermal processing. Symptoms: constipation, quick weight loss.
Parasites of plants, berries
- Alveococcus multilocularis. Man becomes infected through the unwashed berries or dirty hands.
- Geohelminth Ascaris. Features of infection: ingestion of eggs with unwashed vegetables and fruit, by drinking boiled water. Symptoms of infection: cough and symptoms of allergies, intestinal obstruction.
- Ancylostoma duodenale. The larvae of the parasite from the soil to fall inside the man, if he swallows it with vegetables and fruits. The parasite feeds on the blood, injures the mucous membrane of the small intestine, causing its inflammation.
- Balantidium coli. Media, pig, sometimes with dogs and rats. Often ill people in the country.
Parasites in the water
- Dracunculiasis. Media crustacea Cyclops. They get into the body with the bad purified water. The parasites released after the digestion of crustaceans in the stomach. From there, the worms will get into the subcutaneous-fatty fiber. A year later, the female parasite consists of a million of matured larvae. Her head is suitable to your skin, forming a watery bubble to 10, if you will find relieve the itching and burning, the person immerses the affected area and water, what causes the output of the parasites and the beginning of a new round of their development.
- Gnathostoma spinigerum. Infection occurs when drinking is to disinfect the water, consumption of meat, frogs and fish. Symptoms: skin swelling and itching, increase in temperature, possible damage to the eye. The disease carries a recurrent character.
Modern methods of diagnosis of parasites
Helminth living in the intestine are identified in the examination of feces: coprogram, perianal scraping, methods of enrichment. If the doctor assumes the paragons, then the analysis take mucus, urine - when the suspicion for urogenital schistosomiasis. The reliability of these methods is only 15-20%.
A list of frequently used and modern types of research, indicating their advantages and disadvantages.
- Macro - and microscopic study of feces. The efficiency depends on at what stage of development of the parasite. Killed parasite of the notification is very difficult, so the parasite must get to the lab alive.
- Linked immunosorbent assay. According to the presence of the antibody and the antigen to the helminth with the authenticity of the in the 60-80% determined by the type of parasites, their number.
- Histological coprogram. Study feces, suggesting a detection of the parasites or parts of their body to help, of microscopes.
- Ultrasound x-ray examination and computed tomography. Brings about changes of the internal organs.
- Bioresonance diagnostics. Captures a specific frequency spectrum, which emit a helminth. Detects parasites in all stages of development, determines their localization. The authenticity of 75-95%.
- Hemo-scan. Analysis of blood cells, detection of the presence in them of non-specific substances and elements, which refer to the presence of helminth.
- Serological methods (reaction of the ring-precipitation, indirect hemagglutination, antioxidant labeled tel, tying the compliment, agglutination of latex). They are based on the detection in blood of specific antibodies.
- Laboratory studies of the muscles, the incisions of the skin and blood. Biopsy and digestion of muscles. Allows you to find out inside the muscle fibers of larvae of Trichinella.
- Analysis of duodenal content. Fractional put the probe in which the 3 portions of bile from the 12-earthy intestine. Take about 1.5 hours. On analysis they're sending is not yet cooled down bile.
- Examination of the urine. Allows you to find helminth, parasitic in the urogenital system.
The influence of parasites on the health of a person
The parasites deprive the body of vitamins and trace elements, they are killing blood cells – leukocytes and red blood cells, so a person just toxic waste your life. This is reflected in the development of allergic reactions and slagging of the intestine and the liver, the deformation of those or other organs, "chronic fatigue syndrome".
Overall, the impact of parasites on health can be divided into mechanical, toxic, immune, and toxicity. A list of the most dangerous for a person in breach of:
- Peritonitis, resulting from the suction of the parasites on the walls of the intestines and the formation of ulcers.
- Intestinal obstruction, caused by clusters of balls of parasites.
- Violation of trophic tissues and organs, triggered by the compression of the parasites of the blood vessels.
- Beriberi, due to which slows down growth and the process of recruitment weight.
- Violation of protein metabolism, is associated with abnormal course of biochemical processes.
- Violation of the menstrual cycle, colpitis in women, infertility, prostate cancer in men.
- Perhaps the development of pneumonia, asthma, diabetes, diseases of the joints.
Treatment of parasites in the human body
Treatment of helminth includes designation of the specific anthelmintic drugs. The pharmacological industry produces a lot of drugs belonging to different chemical groups. Folk remedies can also help to overcome the disease, but it should be borne in mind that ignore their individuality, as the patient, presence of associated diseases.
Folk remedies against parasites
Folk remedies well manifested in the initial stage of the disease. It acts more slowly than synthetic drugs, but deplete the body less damage. A list of the most effective:

If you drink 21 day, then the parasites will perish, and the products of their life will be destroyed, the affected area of the internal organs to begin to recover.
- Tincture of wormwood with the seeds of the pumpkin. The dry ingredients of wormwood and pre-mixed rhinestones seeds pour vodka in a ratio of 1:3, take in a sunny location for 7 days; take twice a day for 50 ml, preferably 30 minutes before a meal. It normalizes microflora of intestines, activates the secretion of gall bladder, neutralizes toxins, enhances immunity.
- Cloves against parasites. Cloves disinfects the internal organs, restores the protective functions of the body, passes through the intoxication, relieves pain. It treats giardiasis and opisthorchiasis. In home conditions apply powder cloves: cloves in the mixture and flax seeds in a ratio of 1:10, ground and insist 3 days in a row before a meal on a 1 hr. l. (allowed to drink water).
