Schistosomiasis: treatment and prevention

Antiparasitic treatment of schistosomiasis is performed in a hospital. Semi-bed, special diet is not required. With liver damage - table number 5. Currently, the treatment of schistosomiasis is highly effective in all forms of helminthiosis drug - prazikvantelom.

Schistosomiasis: diagnosis

In the acute period of schistosomiasis during the diagnosis it is necessary to take into account the epidemiological anamnesis, the presence of signs of "cercaria dermatitis" after bathing in the infected reservoirs.

Schistosomiasis: symptoms

Symptoms of schistosomiasis depend on its shape. Symptoms of schistosomiasis of the genitourinary, associated with the introduction of cercariae, in the form of allergic dermatitis in nonimmune individuals are rarely recorded. After 3-12 weeks of a latent period, acute schistosomiasis may develop.

Schistosomiasis: causes and pathogenesis

Schistosom is classed as Plathelminthes, class Trematoda, family Schistosomatidae. Five species of schistosomes: Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma intercalation and Schistosoma mekongi - causative agents of helminthiosis in man. Schistosomes differ from all other members of the Trematoda class in that they are dioecious and differ in sexual dimorphism.

Schistosomiasis: an overview

Schistosomiasis, or bilharziasis (Latin schistosomosis, English schistosomiasis, bilharziasi), - tropical helminthiases, characterized by acute toxic allergic reactions in the acute stage, in the chronic - primary lesion of the intestine or urogenital system, depending on the type of pathogen.

Fascioliasis in humans: the pathways of infection and the cycle of development

Fascioliasis (chronic fasciolosis, English fascioliasis) - chronic zoonotic biogelmintosis caused by parasitization of trematodes of the family Fasciolidae, is characterized by a primary lesion of the bile excretory system.

Opisthorchiasis: treatment and prevention

Treatment of patients with opisthorchiasis should be comprehensive, individual and take into account co-morbidities. Hospitalization of patients is carried out according to clinical indications. Assign a gentle regime, diet number 5 for 6 months.

Opisthorchiasis: diagnosis

Diagnosis of opisthorchiasis is established on the basis of clinical epidemiological and laboratory data: the use of thermally unprocessed, slightly salted fish in endemic regions; fever, toxic-allergic syndrome; leukocytosis and eosinophilia in the blood; in the chronic phase - the symptoms of cholecystopancreatitis, gastroduodenitis.

Opisthorchiasis: symptoms

The incubation period for opisthorchiasis is 2-6 weeks after eating the affected fish. The disease is characterized by polymorphism of the clinical picture.

Opisthorchiasis: causes and pathogenesis

Pathogen opisthorchosis - Opistorchis felineus (cat's fluke) belongs to the type of flatworms (trematodes), a class of flukes. Has a flat elongated body 8-14 mm long and 1-3.5 mm in diameter; is equipped with two suckers - the oral and abdominal. Opisthorchy are hermaphrodites.
