General description of the disease
This is a parasitic disease that affects the intestines. It is the most common type of helminthiasis.
The causative agent of enterobiasis a pinworm is considered (a nematode of a white-milky color and small size: the male reaches a length of 5 mm, and the female – 12 mm), the female has a pointed tail, and the males have it twisted. In front, you can see the swelling, where the mouth opening is located – the vesicle. With its help, the parasite clings to the intestinal wall. The nematode feeds on what is contained in the intestines, and can also swallow blood. Debugs pinworm eggs on human skin. To do this, she crawls out of the intestines at night. Then there is severe itching near the anus and the patient combs these places. At this time, eggs fall under the nails of a person, then they can get into the mouth when eating food, on clothes, household items, as a result of which a healthy person can become infected. Also, flies, cockroaches can be carriers of pinworm eggs. For the development of eggs, a temperature of 36 degrees and an increased humidity of 75-90% are required (the anal folds of a person and perineum are ideal). The larvae inside the egg mature in 5-6 hours, and reach the size of adults in half a month or a month. Then the whole cycle is repeated.
Transfer method – oral (when food is swallowed), cases of infection have been recorded through inhaled dust.
Phases and symptoms of enterobiasis:
- Sharp (lasts from 5 days to a week) – painful sensations and discomfort in the abdomen, nausea, frequent stools (the patient can go 4 times per day).
- Chronic – the symptoms depend on what kind of invasion was. With a weak – the patient complains of itching in the anus in the evening and during sleep, also, not severe pain in the abdomen bothers (this continues for 4-5 days, then all symptoms disappear and reappear after 3 weeks or a month – it all depends on the time of repeated invasion). With reinvasion of the patient, itching burdens and in the daytime, severe pains begin in the appendix, flatulence, loose and frequent stools. Due to severe itching, the patient’s sleep is disturbed and, as a result, a severe headache appears, the ability to remember decreases, dizziness, allergic reactions occur, and there may be nausea. If the patient is a child, he begins to be capricious, there may be fainting conditions and epileptic seizures. Some people with enterobiasis do not show any symptoms.
