A very unpleasant topic in the medical field that every person would like to avoid is, of course, worms. But, unfortunately, very few people it bypasses, especially in childhood because of constant contact with animals, earth, sand and other types of carriers of worms. The Internet is full of terrible videos and photos with such parasites.
Often parents cough and runny nose children are taken for a cold. Behind such simple symptoms, the cause is much more terrible than the common cold - the tapeworm. In the human body, more than 500 species of live worms can parasitize in the intestine and stomach. Not all the population and even doctors are aware of this. A person can have lachrymation, rashes, allergic manifestations, despite the fact that the tapeworm is in the intestine. The child does not feel any particular manifestations directly in the abdomen, if the causative form of the tapeworm is a small sized worm( eg, dwarf tartar).In rare cases, there is an itch of the anus. However, with the passage of time, when complications develop, bright clinical symptoms appear. If there is a tapeworm in a weakened organism, the symptoms can be much more difficult, such as weakening of vision, inhibition in the development of the child, overexcitation or hysteria. The most obvious manifestations are itching and the presence of the worm in the feces( determined visually).Symptomatic with a tapeworm in the abdomen is pallor, fatigue, lethargy, high appetite, combined with poor weight gain, pain and much more.
Ways of infecting the body with the
solitaire. The ways of infection with the solitair of the human body depend on the causative form of the helminth. Most often it is a bull and pork chain. Man can infect these parasites with the use of invasive meat. Eggs and larvae of these chains live in the muscles. Therefore, if the meat is thermally poorly treated, then they will not perish, but fall into the human body. In it, they will begin their parasitic activity. Similarly, events develop with the use of dried and smoked meat.
However, this way of infection is not typical for all solitaires. In some species, people get infected through a sandbox, soil, unwashed fruits and vegetables, berries. Contact with something like that, unwashed hands, all this contributes to infection and settlement of the helminth in the body. In this way, children between the ages of 4 and 14 are infected, and hygienic skills are not yet fully developed. This is how the dwarf, pumpkin and rat chains are transmitted.
Thus, the infection factors are divided into the following types:
- Consumption of contaminated meat
- Contact with contaminated soil or sand
- Use of unwashed vegetables and fruits.
However, regardless of the factors, the pathway of infection with these helminths is the only pathway - food. That is, parasites get through the mouth and penetrate the intestine, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream and migrate through various organs. Penetrating into the body, the tapeworm settles in various organs:
- Intestine
- Light
- Eyes
- Kidney
- Brain, etc.
Intestine is the primary source of penetration of parasites. If the body is strong( the immune system works well), and the degree of invasion is low, then the tapeworm at this stage may die, and the disease will not develop. Otherwise, it sucks in the mucous membrane and enters through the enterocytes into the bloodstream.
Given the peculiarities of the blood supply of the lungs, this organ is the second one on the path of the migration of solitaires in the body. In it, they can settle down and cause a pulmonary form of the disease. If they penetrate this barrier, they can get into any organ. This will lead to a violation of its function, which is due to mechanical pressure and toxic effects of the products of helminth disintegration. Therefore, the food path of infection does not mean that the tartar will settle exclusively in the digestive system. It can cause multiple organ damage.
Removal of tapeworm from bowel
Treatment of worms in humans is a rather complex process. It requires a complete examination of the body, diagnosing the size of parasites, species, quantity. Depending on other diseases of the body and the above-mentioned indicators, treatment is prescribed, which is carried out permanently. Preparations for the destruction of tapeworm in the body are the strongest poisons for them. By several stages of withdrawal of worms such as, withdrawal of toxic substances of parasites, antihelminthic drugs, and immunostimulating drugs, a positive result is achieved. It is not recommended to engage in self-medication( grandmother's methods) or treatment on video and photos in networks. All this can aggravate a person's condition, rather than withdraw parasites.
A checkup and a parasitologist-appointed treatment are mandatory. Often the symptomatology does not indicate the presence of tapeworm in a person, and he does not know about it. However, it is necessary to pass an analysis on the eggs of the worm to exclude this disease. Early diagnosis will help to remove helminths from the body.
Defeats the body with the
tapeworm This parasite can not only settle, as it is commonly believed, in the digestive tract. He also successfully parasitizes the brain and eyes. It's complicated by the fact that he can save up to one million eggs per day. In the human body, the helminth may exist up to 20 years. To withdraw parasites living in the intestine for several years is very difficult. In the brain, the tapeworm falls with a current of blood. It can be found both in brain fluids and in the corresponding tissues. Harm here he brings no less than in the intestines - headaches, pressure, convulsions. Causes neuronal atrophy and rapid death. Since the eggs spread by blood, the worm can settle in the eyes, causing severe consequences until the loss of vision. Delayed treatment can permanently deprive a person of the opportunity to see.
