People's internal flora is an excellent environment for habitat and active reproduction of microorganisms, which belong to the pathogen group.The types of parasites in the human body are usually divided into two options - those whose discovery is not felt and practically does not affect the general state of health and those whose presence can be fatal.In the process of your life, they may not only negatively affect organs, but also release toxic substances that poisoned all living beings.
Nematodes
Most parasites in the human body are the worms of the nematod group, diagnosed in adults and children.Parasites can differ from each other at the location place (in the intestine, liver, heart and even brain department), size, life cycle and even the time they are inside the body.
The most frequent species of parasites - nematodenum are as follows.
Pinworm
This microorganism parasitizes on the large intestine walls, while spreading the eggs of their future children outside the large or small intestine, for example, in bedding.Most of the time, this parasite is diagnosed in children.The worms cause itching in the anus, decreased appetite, grinding teeth in a dream and quick fatigue.
The life cycle of microorganisms is about a month and, in size, they reach 12 mm.Pinworms are very resistant to the external environment, the appearance of new species occurs 6 hours after egg placement.
Toxocara
These helminths live in the body of cats and dogs and fall into the internal environment of a person in contact with these animals.This type of intestinal parasites can reach 3 cm in length and have all internal organs and ships without leaving out.
Askarids
Relate to the type of more dangerous infectious parasites of a person.They grow up to 3 cm in length and can live a long cycle.They penetrate all the organs of the system, actively reproducing at the same time.
Trichinella
The parasitic invasion caused by Trichinella can lead to negative consequences: swelling, fever, dermatitis, stomach disorder and all types of allergies, including foods.The main difficulty of detecting these helminths is in their microscopic size, usually not exceeding 4 mm.Genol living in the intestine is able to penetrate the blood vessels along which through the bloodstream spreads throughout the body and settles in any organ.
Trematos
In the gastrointestinal tract of a person, the trematodes also live quite often.They are distinguished by a flat form and the presence of suction cups.These additional organs are needed for them to suck human organs to suck useful substances.
The parasites classification according to the helminth type includes the Trematod class, consisting of the following microorganisms:
- Opisthorchis is a simple parasitic worm that usually lives in the stomach, gallbladder, pancreas and liver, which leads to the development of gastritis, ulcers and pancreatitis.The gut anyway as such is not very interesting to it;
- Intense intestinal intestinal, has a worm of up to 2 cm long.Affects the gastrointestinal tract.The duration of your life is not large, but at the same time your activity can lead a person to asthma, gastrointestinal dysfunction, bronchitis, asthenia and other diseases.
Since trematodes have access to any person's organs and tissues, their invasion is considered the most common and difficult to treat.
These microorganisms devour a huge amount of tissues and blood, usually deactivated the circulatory system.
Cestodes
Among all existing parasites living in one person, the most dangerous are the cestodes.The length of this helminth can reach 10 m.Thinking about what parasites live in the human body, it is hard to imagine a worm so large that it is placed in the human body.They come in mainly if you eat infected meat.
The following types of cestodes are more common:
- Pork Chain - It grows up to 8 m in length.Initially, the symptoms of the invasion do not manifest, but in the future the activity of pork tapeworm leads to the obstruction of the intestine.It is also possible to develop asthenia;
- Bull Current - It can grow up to 18 m in length.It causes dangerous diseases for a person, including anemia, intestinal obstruction, allergies, gastrointestinal disorders and, as a result, the nervous system;
- A wide ribbon - the length of this parasite reaches 8 m.One of the few parasites of a person who lives in the small intestine.It causes anemia, astenia, problems with the digestive tract and intestinal obstruction;
- Echinoccus-it is considered the worm of the most dangerous track, whose infection in the early stages is not manifested by any symptoms.However, the spread of helminth in the body is very fast leads to the formation of tumors.
Appropriate
Thinking about what are parasites in the human body, do not forget the possibility of infection with the so -called protozoa.This class of microorganisms has nothing to do with three groups of helminths, as it manufactures its own special parasitic species that live in various human organs.
Protozoans belong to the endoparasites class, which can be located in almost any corner of the body.This species was named for a simple structure, consisting of only one cage.However, they are able to arouse various dangerous diseases in the human body.
The main types of parasitic protozoa:
- Trichomonas.Despite the presence of only one cell, they have a very complex structure.There are several types of parasites of this type, depending on the degree of location: rotary, intestinal and vaginal.The most common infections that occur in the presence of this organism in the reproductive system.Often Trichomonas leads to prostatis in men.Affects the brain and nervous system;
- Lamblia.Located in the intestine.Lead to dysbiosis, gastrointestinal tract and general body poisoning.They are usually attached to the duodenum's mucous membrane, where it multiplies actively;
- Amebas.Capable of causing astenia and stomach disorders and also creating intestinal obstruction;
- Toxoplasmas.This parasite is very dangerous for a pregnant woman as it can cause a miscarriage in the early stages.In addition, toxoplasmas cause eye disease, nervous system and heart.
The special danger of human body infection with simpler unicellular microorganisms is that, in most cases, an asymptomatic infection proceeds.
Ectoparasites
This type of parasitic microorganisms, such as ectoparasites, make up a separate group of hazardous infections.This class differs to the extent that its representatives are located exclusively on the surface of human skin, but, however, are capable of infecting it with such dangerous diseases as anthrax, typhoid, encephalitis, tripanosomussis and others.
It is not difficult to recognize the appearance of parasites of this group, because, as a rule, they cause noticeable discomfort to their master.The main consequences of their bites include the appearance of allergic reactions, itching and burning.
The main ectoparasites in the human body are:
- Lice;
- ticks;
- Blood bloating;
- Fleas.
You can handle these microorganisms only with the help of special tools.In addition, as a rule, it is necessary to sanitation of the living room, bedding and clothes.Ectoparasites of an exotic species that can be captured during the trip are very dangerous.The bites of some of them can be fatal.
Symptoms
The fight against parasites in the human body, regardless of the place of its location, should be performed comprehensively and according to the doctor.However, an important point is the correct diagnosis of dangerous microorganism infection.
Usually the following symptoms are following that the human body was subject to parasites infection:
- Constipation - is determined by the obstruction of the intestine associated with large sizes of worms.In addition, helminths are able to block the gallstones, causing painful discomfort in the lower abdomen;
- Frequent gas formation - usually caused by worms within the small intestine.This also includes irritable bowel syndrome and so on;
- Diarrhea - Fecal thinning is caused by special substances secreted by some of the microorganisms.Outside very frequent liquid can talk about infection;
- Allergic reactions - usually occur in the life of the vital activity of microorganisms within a person.Eczema and rash are also possible;
- Discomfort of pain in the joint and muscles.If this feature manifests without apparent reason, the parasites check will be required.Some of them prefer to live exclusively in fluids and joint muscles, and pain is an immunity response to the appearance of microorganisms;
- Weight weights, problems with appetite - associated with human poisoning with the vital activity of parasites and lack of glucose;
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disturbance, anxiety and irritability.It most often says that body resources are exhausted due to the active activity of parasites within it.
There are many types of parasites that can be established in the human body.Most infections in the early stages are completely asymptomatic.However, the treatment of parasitic invasion in the early stages is considered the most effective and simple.
