Often, worms can have a temperature, and quite high in some cases. Although the presence of such a symptom caused by helminths, and may seem strange to someone, in fact, there is nothing surprising in this. Some kinds of worms provoke its increase directly. These include ascarids, which parasitize the organs and tissues of a person. Because of the presence in the patient's body of sexually mature individuals, their eggs or larvae, an inflammatory process begins, in which the temperature always rises. In addition, helminthic invasion can be an indirect cause of this phenomenon. The thing is that they affect the gastrointestinal tract, weaken this immunity and cause an aggravation of many chronic diseases. To fully understand the cause of the occurrence of such a symptom of helminthic invasion, as the presence in an adult and a child of subfebrile temperature( 37 °), it is necessary to understand what kind of reaction to infection of the body with helminths in humans occurs. Helminths usually have the following effects on adults and children:
- Toxic. It consists in the allocation in the host organism of the products of their vital activity. Toxins enter the circulatory system and, spreading through the bloodstream throughout the body, causing it to become infected. Because of this, with worms, the temperature rises. Especially dangerous are the products of vital activity of roundworms and flukes, which give the temperature. Most of all children suffer from them, since there is no protective barrier in their organisms;
- Mechanical defeat, which gives many types of parasitic worms. This includes damage to the walls of the intestine and tissues of internal organs. The nature of helminths forces to break all obstacles on the way to the circulatory system - the main source of nutrition and movement for worms. Wounds that form in this case become inflamed and cause heat.
Also many types of parasitic worms can cause allergic reactions, especially when they begin to decay after death in the host's body. This also provokes the appearance of hyperthermia in humans as a secondary reaction of the body.
Subfebrile temperature in children worms
A small child is most susceptible to temperature, a symptom caused by some types of helminths. This is due to the fact that children up to a certain age do not have a triple protective barrier from parasitic worms. That's why parents are always interested in what to do in case of infection of the baby and how to safely free the children's body from the invasion of these invaders. To date, the choice of anthelmintic means is quite large, but it is not necessary to choose a preparation against worms that cause temperature increase, let alone give it to the baby uncontrollably. All of them are quite toxic and can harm a child's body.
In the event that children have a long-term low-grade fever( 37 ° C) and there is a suspicion that it is triggered by the presence of helminthic invasion, it is necessary to contact a specialist-parasitologist who, on the basis of the diagnostic data obtained, will select the most effective and safe in this formparasites drug. Also, in order to protect children from the temperature caused by worms, it is necessary to use for the preventive purposes folk recipes against this scourge. The best means are pumpkin seeds and crushed garlic. In order to prevent the onset of an illness, it should be given to their babies in those cases when there is a suspicion that an infection may have occurred, for example, after communicating with a homeless four-legged friend.
