Signs of infection by parasites in humans and diagnosis

The doctor advises the patient

What are the signs of the presence of worms in humans, the symptoms of helminthiasis are persistent or temporary?Is it possible to recognize the disease at an early stage of development and how to do it without resorting to doctors?

There are a number of specific symptoms which directly indicate the presence of dangerous "neighbors" in the body.

The main signs of Helminthiasis

The symptoms of the presence of worms in an adult are diverse.There are several signs that indicate that worms live in the body.

List of specific features:

  • The parasites of the human body lead to the appearance of pain in the intestines;
  • There are problems with the chair;
  • Bruxism (a rattle characteristic of teeth that occurs at night);
  • A person loses weight (weight loss occurs due to the fact that the parasite eats at the expense of the owner and deprives him of the necessary vitamins and micro-elements);
  • Stomach irritation (colitis, irritated intestinal syndrome on a continuous basis);
  • Sleep disorders appear (the patient can be disrupted by itching in the anal region, which occurs due to the release of parasites to lay eggs).

These symptoms of infection are specific, that is to say that they can directly indicate the presence of parasites of the body.

But there are non -specific symptoms of the presence of parasites, these are:

  1. Cough, respiratory problems, inflammatory process in the area of the respiratory system.
  2. Headaches, blood pressure problems in the blood (blood pressure level can be high, or can suddenly decrease).
  3. Nervous surprise (unstable state of the psyche).
  4. Local allergic reactions.
  5. Granulosis (larvae develop with connective tissue, forming a small size of tumor formations).
  6. Oncological diseases (develop in the context of a decrease in the activity of the immune system).
  7. Improvement of immunity (development of autoimmune diseases, frequent acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory infections).
  8. Inflammation of kidneys or pyelonephritis (occurs in the context of a parasitic disease).
  9. Inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis with the blocking of conduits).

The disease can be manifested differently, but indirectly, these signs indicate the presence of helminths.

Signs of infection as a function of the affected organ

The first signs of parasites in the human body:

The patient on exam by the doctor
  • If the liver is affected.There are signs of cholelithiasis, the duct can be obstructed with an adult larva or helminthe.Under the eyes, there are yellow spots, the skin changes the shadow.There is an unpleasant taste after having eaten, enrancing bitterness, the pain appears in the right hypochondrium.
  • If the intestines are affected.The first signs of intoxication occur, anemia appears.Body weight decreases sharply and increases.In the context of the Helminthic invasion, weakness, fatigue and other symptoms of overwork appear.The appetite weakens, the nausea appear after eating.There is pain in the intestines, bloating, stomach pain after eating.
  • If the kidneys are affected.The characteristic signs of pyelonephritis occur, the outlet of the urine is disturbed, the structure of the kidneys is inflamed and modified.The pain appears in the lower back, there is pain syndrome during urination.
  • If the lungs are affected.In the tissues of the lungs and bronchi, there are ascaride larvae, against which the infected person has a persistent and very unpleasant cough.It is difficult to deal with drugs.After attacking, expectations appear.
At the start of development, it is quite difficult to recognize the disease.The parasites of the human body have not yet settled.

Symptoms depending on the type of parasite

Find out more about the symptoms of the manifestation of worms in men:

  1. Askarids.The infection passes in a different way, but being in the intestines, an adult female poses up to 25,000 eggs, they are covered with a special shell, which consists of 3 layers.The eggs are in the intestines, with a sufficient quantity of oxygen and observing the temperature conditions, the egg turns into a larva and is sent to "travel" through the body with the blood flow.Once in the lungs, the larva leads to the appearance of a cough.With tremors, she goes to the intestines again, where she continues to develop and after a certain time turns into a mature individual.The life cycle of ascarids is 12 months.During this year, the individual is in the intestines, laying eggs that come out with excrement.
  2. Vlashev.Due to the characteristics of the structure, this worm can violate the integrity of the intestinal membrane.It feeds on human blood, while its presence in the intestine leads to various consequences.Since the worm is in the large intestine, its operation (nutrition of host blood) leads to the adhesion of a secondary infection, appendicitis occurs.
    3. Types of parasites
  3. Speakers.These are parasites, belong to the class of intestinal nematodes, they most often surprise children.If the measures are not taken over time, the risk of developing enterobiosis is excellent.With repeated infection, the risk of relapse of the disease increases.
  4. Echinococcus.There are in several forms, cysts can infect the tissues, fixing a certain cavity.But the parasite itself lives in the intestines, it can be infected when it is in contact with animals (cats, dogs, domestic pigs), also the helminths are transmitted from humans to humans.
  5. Large ribbon.It enters the human body in the form of a larva, an infection occurs after eating fish, which has not succeeded in appropriate heat treatment.The larva enters the small intestine, where it lives and develops for a long time, an adult individual can reach several meters in length.
  6. Speakers.This intestinal nematode most often affects children.Causes enterrobia.In the absence of treatment, a remission may occur if the probability of reference infection can minimize.

Changes are observed on a continuous basis, the body cannot recover, it is difficult to face the loss of blood and nutrients.

Infection methods and possible consequences

What is the danger of worms for a person:

  • lead to a weakening of the activity of the immune system (in the context of an immunity deficiency, health problems arise);
  • Chronic anemia appears (worms feed on blood, absorbing nutrients and vitamins with it);
  • In the context of infection, leukocytosis develops (the level of leukocytes in the blood increases, because the body actively tries to cope with parasites using white blood cells);
  • If a large number of helminthes live in the intestines, they can lead to its obstruction;
  • cholecystitis (occurs if bile tributaries are obstructed with verses);
  • Pneumonia (at the migration stage, the larva can fall into the lungs and cause their inflammation).
Parasitic infection through the ground
If the treatment of the disease is incorrectly selected, it is carried out premature or will be completely absent, then various diseases will occur, both inflammatory and autoimmune.

How worms are transmitted:

  1. You can infect when you contact a person who has helminths.
  2. Droplettes suspended in the air (inhalation of eggs).
  3. Through water and food.
  4. Through the ground.

It is not difficult to infected with helminthes, it is enough to regularly neglect rules of personal hygiene so that problems of nature occur.

Diagnostic methods

The diagnosis of worms in a person takes place at several stages:

  • give blood for analysis;
  • Take the excrement for analysis;
  • Make the radiography.

A blood test is carried out to detect an increased quantity of leukocytes and eosinophiles in the blood.

Analysis of the excrement for worms is only effective if a person lives in a person's body, and it is at the stage of migration (that is to say that he has already laid the eggs), that the doctor during the examination and detects in the excrement.

X -Ray has its own characteristics, its conduct is consistent with the doctor.Based on the study results, it is possible to obtain the necessary information on the presence of parasites in the respiratory organs and gastrointestinal routes.

X -ray device

What signs are characteristic of parasites, consideration of the results of the tests:

  1. Leukocytosis (increase in the amount of white blood cells in the body).
  2. Eosinophilia (increased in the blood of the amount of eosinophiliacs, blood cells).
  3. The appearance of worms in the excrement.

The reasons for the appearance of worms are different and, according to the statistics, then around 85% of the people around the planet are infected with helminths.The reason is that the treatment of helminthiasis has its own characteristics, takes place using various drugs and, in some cases, is not very effective.

How to know if there are parasites in the body:

  • It is worth consulting a doctor when characteristic symptoms appear;
  • Do the necessary tests;
  • Get the results.

The signs of the appearance of worms in a person are not as clear as it might seem at first glance.For this reason, if some problems have appeared, you should not shoot with a call to the doctor.
