Worms: the first signs and symptoms.

Worms is the name given to an extensive group of low worms, which, as parasites in the human body. You provoke the disease called Helminthiasis. There are three different classes of worms: tape worms, round worms, and tape worms. The science-and-white 300 species of worms that are able to exist in the human body, but on the territory of the Russian Federation does not occur more than 70 helminths. The wide dissemination of parasitic infestation depends on the climatic conditions in a particular country, of the level of their economic development. Therefore, Helminthiasis to a greater extent widely distributed in tropical and subtropical countries, as well as in developing countries.

Modern scientists underestimate the importance of parasitic invasions for the health of the people, although many of the advanced doctors and scientists beat the world long Alarm about it. Only in Russia each year, about 500 000 new infections. The majority of these patients – children. On you up to 80% of all the helminthiases, are eliminated. Where 500 000 – this is a very average figure, since the available data on the annual infestation of 15 million people. Found that people are more likely to have their domicile outside of the city, since the contamination of the soil and the possibility of contact with the eggs of the worms is much higher there.

Worms can be transmitted in three ways on the people:

• From animals to humans Bioelements) transferred to (;
• From person to person (contagious Helminthiasis);
• Geohelminths (the development of the worms takes place in the ground).

The symptoms of worms will depend on how is a massive Invasion, like the worm in the body is penetrated is, how good is he in the human body, etc.

A special danger for the health of the people of the larvae of the worms, and the Form of worms, in the process of growth and development. When the adult worm takes a certain place in the patient's body, the larvae are often in the Phase of Migration. You can see the damage to the different organs, in them, to violate their shell, disrupting their function. Most of the worms are intestinal worms. Depending on the type, vary the specific location of the worm. For example, pinworms prefer the lower part of the small intestine and the upper sections of the colon, askaridy in the upper part of the small intestine, whipworms stops at the beginning of the colon.

Depending on where exactly the worm experts infests distinguish between the material and the light-transmissive Helminthiasis. In the first case, the worms remain in the depth of the tissue, and in the second case, you live in the Lumen of the organ. And that's not have to the intestine.

Signs and symptoms of worms in humans

Different types of worms provoke different signs and symptoms, but they will always be present, in varying degrees of severity.

How worms affect the human body:

• The worm eats the food intended to meet the needs of the body of its host. At the end of the person is suffering from a lack of nutrients, an anemia, Beriberi, hypokalemia, and other scarce state develops.
• Worms infect tissues and organs in the human body, if you attach to him. Different types of worms for this purpose are a wide variety of devices (suckers, hooks, etc.). In addition, the massive accumulation of worms, or the presence of worms in the body of the large size (bullish tsepen) can lead to intestinal obstruction. Very dangerous extra-intestinal Invasion. Such a localization of the worms interfere with the work of the institutions and are able to lead to the death of the patient.
• Worms produce toxins that poison systematically the human body.
• An allergic reaction on the part of the organism agents is the natural response of the immune system to the presence of disease. Thus, the body will get rid of trying. However, only the attack of the immune system is not enough for the expulsion of the worm, so an Allergy again and again.

Therefore, you should always remember about the danger that carry worms in itself, and also upon the occurrence of indirect signs of parasitic infestation, treat medical aid.

Diagnosis Of Worms

Diagnosis aims worms on the detection of the parasites or their eggs and larvae in stool, antibodies against it in blood, or other biological substances.

The analysis of feces, and scrape the eggs on the worm

Worms intestinal parasites are mainly. It is through the intestines, their eggs are characterized. Therefore, their diagnoses can take the feces to analyze. In the pharmacy for the collection of feces special container, the box of matches or a can of purchased, though you can.

So, at the time of the analysis, the capacity for the collection of the material and a rake. If you see fragments or whole worms, worm, he needs to send to the lab.

Not necessarily carry the feces in the laboratory directly after the harvest. It must necessarily on the research in the course of the day. Up to the Moment assembled Biomaterial must be kept in the refrigerator. The exception is the fee for the analysis Kala on Giardiasis is. It must warm, or when cooled, cysts of parasites destroyed. At the time of delivery of feces to the laboratory, the Container must wrap a warm towel.

For the diagnosis of enterobiosis scrape with perianal folds, because the female pinworms lay their eggs exactly in this area. Prior to analysis, should not wash about 12 hours or to visit the toilet. Therefore, the optimal time for the analysis – morning hours.

Scrape lead with a cotton swab, placed in a clean container and deliver it to the laboratory. You can also tear off the sticky tape, the separated glass to fix on time anal area, and the back adhesive side on the glass.

The delivered biological Material in the laboratory with the aid of a microscope to examine. If a Person is infected, laboratory technician worm sees eggs, larvae, or small sections. Each parasite lays eggs, only for his species. Therefore, according to the study of the structure of the eggs, you can determine what type of worm parasite in the human body.

If in the feces of a worm, most of the time he looks like a white strip of varying length. Worms can improve the mobility. What kind of worm can in the laboratory.

However, with the help of the analysis of the feces is not always detected worms. For example, the analysis is uninformative if the body of the people of para, only the males survive, the roundworms, the eggs.

The analysis of the blood on worms

For the detection of worms in the blood and applied immunological research, by anti-body to the main types of worms. The accuracy and precision of the Elisa corresponds to 95%. With its help you can recognize an extra intestinal Form of Helminthiasis.

The test in determining the presence of worms in the body

For the determination of the worms in the body answers to the following questions and count the number of positive answers:

• In the Anus from time to time or are permanently present itching.
• On the skin a rash.
• Headache and dizziness often occur.
• Occasionally a feeling of nausea that can be accompanied by vomiting, occurs.
• There are violations on the part of the intestinal: bloating, flatulence, unstable stool.
• Restless sleep, often insomnia observed, nocturnal cries.
• There is edema of the lower extremities.
• There are allergic reactions according to the type of urticaria, Rhinitis, cough is allergic in nature. Diagnosed bronchial Asthma.
• Lymph nodes are enlarged.
• There is pain in the abdomen, are not alone.
• In the mouth a bitter aftertaste.
• Present excessive fatigue and exhaustion.

• Weight falls, the appetite is either increased or reduced.
• Vegetables and fruits are consumed in raw Form, without the quality of the pretreatment.

If the seven positive answers, then the probability of the presence of worms in the body. If the positive responses of more than 15, then the probability of infestation is at a high level. This is clearly the reason for the treatment to a specialist and the implementation of the qualitative diagnostics.

Treatment methods

The treatment of worms is based on the intake of ANTIGEL ' mintnyh drugs. You must get the doctor, since many drugs are effective only against certain types of worms. Also, the doctor can prescribe a certain drug until the laboratory analyses for the detection of the Invasion.
