If you suspect infection by worms of the human body requires examinations of adult parasites, the results of which are in a position to confirm or refute the disease. It is possible to control the stool or blood to detect the test material, the eggs of worms, are larvae, giardia or ossiuri. Timely diagnosis allows you to avoid unpleasant consequences, to heal from the dangerous disease.
Routes of infection helminths
In medical terminology, the analysis of parasites is to conduct research on the detection in the blood or feces of helminths, giardia, or other protozoa and worms. In an adult's body fall in different ways:
- through pets;
- in the case of non-observance of personal hygiene with dirty hands, fruit, vegetables;
- bearers serve for the control of cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes;
- swimming in infected waters.
The doctors are medical indications for the examinations to parasites during the event, the person following negative symptoms and signs:
- the reduction of the weight without changing the amount of food consumed;
- anal itching;
- pallor;
- tiredness, fatigue, lethargy, behavior;
- problems with the GASTROINTESTINAL tract: diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
- a strong intoxication, if helminths are developing at an accelerated pace;
- headache, dizziness, nausea;
- mild manifestations of allergies, rashes, hives;
- reduction of immunity, permanent stress, insomnia;
- can disturb the low level of hemoglobin;
- increase the pain of menstruation in women, crash, cycle, inflammation of the ovaries;
- prostatitis, cystitis, the risk of problems with potency in men.
For modern methods refers to the analysis of the blood parasites, which highlight different subtypes:
- elisa – identifies antibodies and antigens, the most expensive cost and long life time method;
- haemo scan – indicates if in the body of an adult helminths, what is their life;
- serological parasites in the blood that are defined for the research of the serum, and define the antibody, but the disadvantage is the difficulty of determining the stage of the disease;
- PCR in blood, urine, plasma or serum to define areas of molecules of DNA or RNA of helminths.
For the analysis of the blood, the blood of helminths and giardia, you take 3 ml venous blood of the patient and is checked for the presence of antibodies and antigens by means of immuno-enzyme search. For the staging of the faithful diagnosis to comply with the rules of delivery of the material:
- the analyses of the giardia in adults are taken in the laboratory, rent first material on an empty stomach, in the morning, before the sample is allowed to drink only water;
- with the last meal must pass not less than eight hours;
- for a couple of weeks to unsubscribe from receiving all of the medications, in the absence of such a possibility to specify the dose and the names of the drugs.
- a day eliminate from the diet alcohol, fried, fatty foods, doesn't pay a heavy physical exercise.
Analysis of the blood parasites
Analysis of the blood parasites — a mandatory procedure for all those who work in the field of health care, schools, animals, or intend to visit educational institutions. Unlike coprogram, modern blood tests to helminths provide a more accurate result, give the opportunity to assess the degree of infestation and to track the effectiveness of the treatment. Surveys are conducted of this type in a hurry and do not require a lot of time to decipher.
The sad medical statistics indicates that approximately for every 3 persons to the problem of helminth today is urgent. Appliances, means of transport, offices and schools, washed the vegetables and the fruit, the handshake — all these habitual for each adult and a child business and become the main source of infection by parasites. Even if the symptoms do not manifest immediately, in every case the parasites very negative impact on the human body: causing deterioration of the appetite, promote the development of allergies, sore body damaged, bad digestion, they are sometimes able to cause death. Having said this, it is necessary to pass to parasites, the analysis of each person (preferably every year).
It is not possible to delay an examination, if you have specific helminthiasis symptoms of error:
- sudden weight loss;
- hives;
- frequent nausea;
- aversion to food;
- the sharp decrease in the hemoglobin;
- irritability, sleeplessness in children.
In addition, it can be defined as a group of people, that necessarily every 6-8 months should control the blood. These, in particular, are:
- the people who live in areas with frequent flash helminthiasis;
- those who work in educational institutions and have to do with small children;
- health-care workers;
- all employees of catering;
- people who work with animals, and even members of their families, veterinarians, workers of the plants of the flesh, the shepherds, the farmers, the workers of the circus and the zoo, etc.).
In addition, an examination of the blood for the worms shall support all of the children of preschool and school age, which soon should go to school, and cups. Explore the blood parasites must be pregnant, the children on the eve of vaccination. In addition, repeated the analysis, it is worth taking after you have crossed the course of treatment against parasites.
The most popular and authentic analysis of today's experts call the elisa analysis of the blood parasites. The main goal of this accuracy, the method and lab — to locate in the blood of antibodies to a particular type of parasites. Immunoglobulins are the same (so-called antibodies) are a natural reaction of the immune system, and have the aim of neutralizing the negative of the agent.
An accurate diagnosis, and to understand whether the intensity with which it flows worms the disease, how long does it last, professionals can with the help of 3 different types of immunoglobulins:
- Class A. Detected in the blood of a child or an adult after about 2-4 weeks after infection. With almost 80% of them are in the mucous membranes, and only 20% remains in the blood. After the treatment with immunoglobulin class, And may be present not more than a month. If you repeat the analysis on parasites of new detects, and then, the disease is passed in the chronic form.
- M-class the More quickly react to the presence of a parasite. In the blood found already at day 5 after infection. However, until they are required — 2 months, and then gradually eliminated. Thanks to this indicator, the doctor can conclude about the presence of helminthiasis in a particular moment.
- Class G. Appear relatively late — after 1 month infestation by helminths. However, they are displayed are more than six months. Their use to understand where how much time a person is suffering from helminthiasis.
Compared with other common laboratory techniques, ELISA has a number of advantages, in particular:
- high precision;
- the ability to determine the stage of the disease;
- versatility;
- the possibility of using for the mass examination of the population;
- suitable for adults and children.
Camping village blue enzyme immunoassay should be used for the identification of these types of helminthiasis, such as:
- giardiasis;
- taeniasis;
- trichinosis;
- leishmaniasis;
- ascariasis;
- cysticercosis;
- human;
- opisthorchiasis;
- hydatid disease.
Haemo scan a — one of the most modern analysis on the parasites in children and adults. With her help, manages to reveal the following:
- a particular type of parasite;
- the structure and the number of white blood cells;
- the number of red blood cells;
- the degree of viscosity of the blood;
- the state of the immune system;
- the presence of fungi and viruses.
Unlike ELISA, haemo scan a provides the fence just a few drops of blood from your finger. The liquid is placed on the sterile glass, and then carefully examined under a microscope. The number of increases reaches 1800-2000 time. Not need any further treatment (use of enzymes, the, draining, etc.). The modern clinical the image is displayed on the monitor, but because the patient has the opportunity to observe the research process, to verify the presence of fungi and worms. Shocking can become the image of are the larvae of parasites. If necessary, you run a photo or a video search.
This is a fast method, because the information on your state of health, the patient can learn already after 10-15 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that as a method of identification of parasites haemo scan a in reality is not used. The fact is that the human body can accommodate different types of parasites with a different place of location. Not in every case, there occurs the migration of the larvae in the blood. Suspect the presence of helminths allows a reduced number of red blood cells, as well as some parasites feed on blood and nutrients), the increase in the number of white blood cells (indicates the struggle of the body with a parasite), dense plasma.
If with method 1 to reveal the bot fails, the doctor will recommend further laboratory studies:
- Serological. Also refers to the immunological options, such as ELISA. However, unlike the latter, the former has the purpose of exploring is not the blood and serum. To obtain the information, the physician needs to use a reaction between antibodies and antigens. Hiv is not performed step by step for all types of worms, but just what the doctor suspects. If in the body of a man is a parasite, an expert will notice a clear answer.
- PCR-diagnosis. Does not give the possibility to understand if the development phase of infestation by helminth, and is not recommended when establishing all types of parasites. With its help you can understand if only if they are present in the human body simple helminths. The main task of the laboratory in this case — the search of DNA and RNA parasite. When you do not play any role, it will be a parasite alive or dead. Donate for research, there is the possibility of any material, in particular, urine, blood or feces. For greater reliability, this analysis may give up a couple of times.
- Vegetative a test of resonance. The method is based on the discovery of the resonance between the human body and the medication. As the last act supports various computer types of worms. All the data of the frequency of each type of pests were recorded by the researchers already in 1989, the PMA (as you call this method) can be carried out only in laboratory conditions, and gives the possibility to identify in which state is the immune system of a person in a given period of time. So, with the help of the PMA, the doctor can understand if if you are suffering from the body from allergies, if toxic, bacterial, parasitic effect or not.
- A detailed analysis of the blood. Overestimated or, on the contrary, sober hemoglobin, decreased number of red blood cells, increase in the number of eosinophils — here are the main signs that allow to suspect the presence of a parasite in the human body.
Characteristics of the analysis depend directly on the type of method you need to use, and the presence of some types of parasites is suspected. As a general rule, the withdrawal of blood made by vienna, and in some cases (haemo scan) of a finger. It is sufficient to only 10-15 ml of blood, to establish the diagnosis.
To obtain the maximum of reliable information, it is necessary to observe certain rules of delivery of clinical analysis:
- The day before the blood collection, the patient should not consume too much salty, fatty foods (because it can change the level of white blood cells); the products that can cause allergies — citrus honey (increase the level of eosinophils, which has also placed when helminthiasis); foods rich in essential oils — garlic, onion, ginger (affect the activity of parasites).
- Better to take the material on an empty stomach. Animals in a small amount of clean water.
- Necessarily inform your doctor about the medications that have been used in the course of the last 2 weeks.
- It is not advisable for a couple of days before the test to use any physiotherapy (including chest x-ray, ULTRASOUND, x-ray).
- At least one week prior to blood sampling from the take-away of alcoholic beverages and the funds, which contain a large concentration of ethyl alcohol.
- From the smoke need to give up at least 2 hours before the test.
If strong helminthiasis suffered pregnant, the test required and the newborn. The blood is drawn from the umbilical cord or the placenta.
For the execution of studies, usually, the technicians are missing 2-3 days. A little more time (up to 5 days) will have to spend in the case where you run the package, immunological research on different types of parasites.
Interpretation has to do only a specialist. The easiest way to interpretations remain haemo scanning, and PCR-diagnosis. They are both identified pest or are larvae or not.
More difficult is the situation with a method that should be called ELISA. The doctor is required to consider the immunoglobulins once in 3 groups. So, the acute form of the disease you can tell if it will go the combination of: immunoglobulins of the M class and learned a lot from this class or G can be learned a lot from this or negative. Of the chronic form data refer to: immunoglobulin of the M class are not lacking, but the E-class And G can be learned a lot from this or negative.
In this case, if any of the above elements of analysis showed a positive result, pull the treatment of helminthiasis not worth the effort. After the full, of a designated medical doctor of the treatment is required for the delivery of analysis, but to do so they need about 2-3 months after the intake of drugs. Not knowing what kind of exams you must deliver, better contact your doctor, an infectious disease, a gastroenterologist or a parassitologo.
