Infectious and parasitic diseases

Bejel

Bejel is a kind of tropical treponematosis, observed mainly in children in Arab countries and manifested by the defeat at its different stages of the skin, and in later - the bone system.

Yaws (synonym: tropical syphilis) is the most widespread highly contagious treponematosis, in which, in addition to the mucocutaneous integuments, the bone system is involved in the pathological process.

Migrating larva (larva migrans): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Very close to the clinical manifestations of the linear migrating miase is the "migratory larva" (larva migrans), a skin disease caused by the larval of intestinal worms, most often by hookworm (Ancylistoma brasiliense, A. Ceylonicum, A. Caninum). All these parasites are the intestinal worms of animals, primarily dogs and cats.

Linear migrating miase: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A linear migrating miase occurs both in the tropics and in temperate regions, including in Russia. Linear migrating miase in a temperate climate is most often observed in the summer. Female gadfly lay eggs, attaching them to the horse's hair or cattle.

Deep skin miass: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

To the group of deep miasses (myasis cutis profunda) are various in the etiologic sense and in the nature of the clinical course of the disease, the combined factor of which is the deep penetration of the larvae into the dermis, subcutaneous fatty tissue and deep tissue. Deep miasses are characterized by malignant currents.

Superficial skin miases: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Diseases of superficial skin miases are relatively benign in nature. This is due to the fact that larvae, not being able to digest living, i.e., normal tissue, are limited only to the devouring of pus and decayed necrotic tissues.

Ulcer Buruli: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

The nosological independence of the Buruli ulcer is recognized by most authors due to the fairly typical clinical and epidemiological features. Buruli ulcer was named in the 60s of the last century, when for the first time a large number of its observations in the form of a local epidemic in Uganda in the province of Buruli was described.

Trophic ulcers: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A tropical ulcer is a persistent and torpid peptic ulcer with a dominant localization on the skin in the ankle and less than the lower third of the shin, which occurs more often in children, young and middle-aged men living in tropical and subtropical climates. As synonyms, the tropical ulcer is sometimes referred to as the phagodenetic, crocheted, jungle, Madagascar, and others.

Tropical mycoses: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Mycotic skin lesions are a very significant practical problem, both because of their extreme prevalence and their known contagiousness. Even more it concerns tropical dermatomycosis, which, like, however, the whole tropical pathology, can be divided into tropical feces proper

Drakunkulez: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Drakunkulez - biogelmintoz. Sexually mature specimens are localized in the subcutaneous tissue, often the lower extremities. The causative agent of dracunculiasis is Dracunculus medinensis, rishta, with pronounced sexual dimorphism.
