Signs of infection with parasites in humans and diagnostics

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 addressing doctors?

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

The main signs of helminthiasis

Symptoms of the presence of worms in an adult are varied.There are some signs that the worms live in the body.

List of specific features:

• parasites in the human body lead to the appearance of pain in the intestines;
• There are problems with the chair;
• Bruxism (a characteristic noise of teeth that occurs at night);
• A person loses weight (weight loss occurs because the parasite eats at the expense of the owner and deprives it of the necessary vitamins and microelements);
• stomach irritation (colitis, irritated intestinal syndrome on a continuous basis);
• Sleep concerns occur (the patient may be disturbed by itching in the anal region, which occurs due to the release of egg laying parasites).

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

But there are nonspecific symptoms of the presence of parasites, these include:

1. Coughing, respiratory problems, inflammatory process in the area of the respiratory system.
2. Headaches, problems with blood pressure in the blood (blood pressure levels, may be high, or can suddenly decrease).
3. Nerve overload (unstable condition of the psyche).
4. Local type allergic reactions.
5. Granulosis (larvae grow with connective tissue, forming a small size of tumor formations).
6. Oncological diseases (develop against the backdrop of a decrease in immune system activity).
7. Weakening of immunity (development of autoimmune diseases, frequent viral acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory infections).
8. Kidney or pyelonephritis inflammation (occurs against the backdrop of a parasitic disease).
9. Inflammation of the gall bladder (cholecystitis with the blockage of the ducts).

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

Signs of infection depending on the affected organ

The first signs of parasites in the human body:

• If the liver is affected.There are signs of cholelithiasis, the canal can be blocked with a larva or an adult helminth.Under the eyes there are yellow spots, the skin changes the shade.There is an unpleasant taste after eating, bending with bitterness, the pain appears in the right hypochondrium.
• If the intestines are affected.The first signs of intoxication occur, anemia appears.Body weight decreases significantly and increases.Against the backdrop of helminthic occupation, weakness, fatigue and other symptoms of excessive work appear.The appetite weakens, vomiting occurs after eating.There is pain in the intestines, bloating, stomach pain after eating.
• If the kidneys are affected.Characteristic signs of pyelonephritis arise, urine flow is disturbed, kidney structure is inflamed and modified.The pain appears in the lower back, there is a pain syndrome during urination.
• If the lungs are affected.In the lung and bronchi tissue there are ascarid larvae, against which the infected person has a persistent, very unpleasant cough.It is difficult to cope with the help of drugs.After Jerking, saliva appears.

In the early stage of development, it is quite difficult to recognize the disease.The parasites in the human body have not yet settled.

Symptoms depending on the type of parasite

Read more about the symptoms of the appearance of worms in humans:

1. Askarids.The infection passes in another way, but being in the intestine, an adult female raises up to 25,000 eggs, they are covered with a special shell, which consists of 3 layers.Eggs are in the gut, with a sufficient amount of oxygen and by observing temperature conditions, the egg is converted into a larva and sent to "travel" through the body with blood flow.Once in the lungs, the larva leads to the appearance of a cough.With Jerking, it again goes into the gut, where it continues to develop and after a while turns into a mature individual.The life cycle of ascarides is 12 months.During this year, the individual is in the gut, lay eggs that come up with feces.
2. Vlashev.Due to the features of the structure, this worm can violate the integrity of the intestinal membrane.It feeds on human blood, while its presence in the gut leads to various consequences.Since the worm is in the large intestine, its functioning (host blood nutrition) leads to the acceptance of a secondary infection, appendicitis occurs.

3. Speaker.These are parasites, belonging to the class of intestinal nematodes, they most often amaze children.If the measures are not taken on time, then the risk of developing enterobiosis is high.With recurrent infection, the risk of relapse of the disease increases.
4. Echinococcus.It exists in some forms, cysts can infect fabrics, placing a certain cavity.But the parasite itself lives in the gut, it can become infected when in contact with animals (cats, dogs, home pigs), and helminth is transmitted by humans.
5. Wide tape.It enters the human body in the form of a larva, the infection occurs after eating fish, which has not passed the proper heat treatment.The larva enters the small intestine, where it lives and develops for a long period of time, an adult individual can reach several meters in length.
6. Speaker.This intestinal nematode most often affects children.Causes enterobiasis.In the absence of treatment, forgiveness may occur if the new probability of infection can be minimized.

Changes are observed on a constant basis, the body cannot be cured, it is difficult for it to cope with the loss of blood and nutrients.

Infection methods and possible consequences

What is the risk of worms for a person:

• lead to a weakening of immune system activity (against the backdrop of immune deficiency, health problems arise);
• Anemia of a chronic nature appears (worms feed on blood, absorb nutrients and vitamins with it);
• Against the backdrop of infection, leukocytosis develops (blood leukocyte levels increase, as the body is actively trying to withstand parasites with the help of white blood cells);
• If a large number of helminths live in the gut, they can lead to its obstruction;
• cholecystitis (occurs if biliary branches are blocked with worms);
• Pneumonia (in the migration phase, the larva can fall into the lungs and cause their inflammation).

If the treatment of the disease is mistakenly chosen, it is performed premature or will be completely absent, then various diseases, both inflammatory and autoimmune, will occur.

How the worms are transmitted:

1. You can infect when contacting a person who has helminths.
2. Air droplets (egg absorption).
3. Through water and food.
4. Through the land.

It is not difficult to infect with helminths, it is enough to regularly neglect personal hygiene rules in order to occur problems of a particular nature.

Diagnostic methods

The diagnosis of worms in a person develops in several stages:

• donate blood for analysis;
• Get feces for analysis;
• Make radiographs.

A blood test is performed to detect an increased amount of leukocytes and eosinophils in the blood.

Feca analysis for worms is effective only if a person lives in a person's body, and is in the migration stage (ie, she has already laid eggs), which the doctor during the examination and detects in the feces.

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

What signs are characteristic of parasites, consideration of the test outcome:

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

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

How to find out if there are parasites in the body:

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

The signs of the appearance of worms in a person are not as clear as it may seem at first glance.For this reason, if certain problems have arisen, you should not withdraw an appeal to the doctor.
