Infectious and parasitic diseases

Inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin

Inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin - inflammation of the inguinal lymph nodes due to infection through the lymph vessels. There are superficial and deep inguinal lymph nodes, they are lymph from the perineum, rectum, lower abdominal wall, genitals and legs.

Acute lymphadenitis

Acute lymphadenitis is an acute inflammatory process in the tissues of the lymph nodes, often is purulent. As a rule, acute lymphadenitis is secondary in nature when pathogenic microorganisms find themselves outside the local pathological focus and enter the lymph nodes.

Hepatitis C in children of the first year of life

The probability of infection of a baby with hepatitis C virus from a mother with some form of HCV infection is high, but when the transmission of the virus occurs most naturally - in utero, in childbirth or after birth, with close contact - it is not yet clear enough.

The consequences of hepatitis B

The most frequent outcome of hepatitis B is recovery with complete restoration of liver function. As with hepatitis A, it is also possible to recover from an anatomical defect (liver fibrosis) or the formation of various complications from the biliary tract and gastrointestinal tract. These consequences of hepatitis B practically do not differ from those in hepatitis A.

How is hepatitis B transmitted?

Transmission of the hepatitis B virus is carried out exclusively parenterally: by transfusion of infected blood or its preparations (plasma, erythrocyte mass, albumin, protein, cryoprecipitate, antithrombin, etc.), use of poorly sterilized syringes, needles, cutting tools, surgical procedures, dental treatment, endoscopy study

Hepatitis E treatment

Treatment of hepatitis E is the appointment of a set of therapeutic measures, as with other viral hepatitis. Hospitalization is compulsory. Bed rest is maintained until the symptoms of intoxication disappear and a clear tendency to normalize the indicators of functional liver samples.

Hepatitis E symptoms

Symptoms of hepatitis E begin gradually with the appearance of asthenodyspeptic signs. Weakness is observed, increasing during 3-4 days, worsening of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain.

Inguinal lymphadenitis

Inguinal lymphadenitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin area. There are a lot of reasons for its appearance, but infectious diseases (especially those that are sexually transmitted) remain the dominant among them.

How is hepatitis A spread?

The causative agent of hepatitis A is transmitted exclusively by the fecal-oral route, through infected foods, water and through household contact. The virus is excreted only with feces, and it gets into food usually when the elementary rules of hygiene are violated at the time of its processing and preparation; water contamination occurs by contamination of water sources by household discharges.

Prevention of hepatitis A

Prevention of hepatitis A is the same as with other intestinal infections. It is built taking into account the three links of the epidemic chain (the source of the infection, the route of its transmission and the receptive organism).
