Recently, a small patient from Shenzhen Children's Hospital came to Huan Huan (pseudonym). Huan Huan went with her family a few days ago, and when she returned, she began to have diarrhea, dozens of times a day, and the toilet could not run. Seeing that the child's diarrhea was so serious, parents rushed to send Huan Huan to the doctor, took anti-diarrhea drugs, and even infusion and hanging needles, but there was no improvement. This makes parents extremely nervous, what's going on? Later, he went to Shenzhen Children's Hospital for examination and found that there was "human bud sac protozoa" in his stool, and it turned out that it was playing a ghost. Subsequently, the doctor targeted the treatment, and Huan Huan quickly recovered.
What is "Protoplasma manneus"?
Dr. Zhou Gaofeng of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Shenzhen Children's Hospital introduced that "Human Bud Cyst Plasmodium" is widely distributed around the world and is a pathogenic protozoa that parasitizes higher primates and humans. It parasitizes in the intestines of the human body, survives by absorbing nutrients from the intestines, and constantly excretes the cuffs with the stool. The sac can contaminate water and food, and humans are infected after ingestion and ingestion.
The source of infection is human blastocystis infection, and pets may also spread it. Detection of "human blastocystis" from fresh feces is the simplest and most reliable method of diagnosing this disease. People infected with protoplasma blastocystis will have the following symptoms: the clinical manifestations can be of varying degrees. Most immunocompetent patients are self-limiting. About 40% of infected people are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms. If it is not taken seriously, it will cause the spread of protozoa. However, people with severe infections may have gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, several times a day and dozens of times, most of which are watery stools, mucus or bloody stools, accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating; as well as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and even fever, chills, lack of appetite, weight loss, etc.
In particular, immunocompromised patients such as leukemia and AIDS patients are susceptible to human blastocystis, and the symptoms are serious and the treatment is very difficult.
How to treat infection with "human bud sac"?
Doctors say that people with mild symptoms do not need treatment, and when there is a large number of parasites or severe symptoms, they can be treated with metronidazole or compound sulfamethoxazole.
This disease is mainly about prevention, doctors emphasize: we must strengthen hygiene awareness, pay attention to personal hygiene and dietary hygiene, develop good hygiene habits: do not drink raw water, do not eat undercooked food. Especially in the wild, do not eat food of unknown origin, especially pay attention to the logistics of washing hands before meals; at the same time, the relevant departments should also strengthen the regular inspection and timely treatment of catering industry personnel.
In addition to the human sac protozoa introduced above, the doctor also introduced several common "parasites" in children.
Parasite second bullet: roundworm
Remember the "pagoda candy" you ate when you were a kid? That's for roundworms. Although I have not seen the "pagoda candy" now, the parasite of roundworms is still there. Roundworms are mainly parasitic in the intestine, and ascariasis can cause malnutrition, hypersensitivity reactions and intestinal dysfunction in children.
How do roundworms get into trouble? It is mainly a human infection caused by accidentally eating food or water containing roundworm eggs during the infectious period. And ascariasis is transmitted from person to person!
How to prevent it? It is necessary to strengthen the management of feces and water sources, pay attention to dietary hygiene and develop good personal hygiene habits to prevent the spread of roundworms. Anyway, it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene, hygiene, hygiene.
Parasite Third Bullet: Blue Giardia
Recently, a nearly two-year-old boy came to the children's hospital for acute diarrhea. The staff of the laboratory department found a large number of trophozoites and cysts of Giardia lanalis (referred to as Giardia for short) during the stool examination, which was clinically diagnosed as Giardiasis, and the child recovered after being hospitalized and treated in time.
Giardia predominates in the small intestine and can cause diarrhea and indigestion. It also enters the baby's body through contaminated physical objects and water sources, and the method of prevention is the same as that of roundworms, that is, to pay attention to personal hygiene. By the way, it's just as contagious as roundworms.
Parasite fourth bullet: Human intestinal trichomoniasis
Human caterpillars are predominantly parasitic in the cecum and colon and are often asymptomatic in immunocompetent adults, while children and immunocompromised people often cause diarrhea. The human body is infected mainly by swallowing food or drinking water contaminated by the trophozoite, but can also be transmitted mechanically by flies. Prevention In addition to managing your own poop, there is also drinking water. You also have to eliminate flies, you know that flies like to poop the most.
Parasite Fifth Bullet: Hookworm Eggs
A nine-year-old child began to cough at the end of last year without obvious inducements, no sputum, and the blood routine examination showed an increase in the total number of white blood cells and the number of eosinophils, and then the child's feces were examined for parasites, and it was found that there were hookworm eggs in the child's feces (the number was very small, and it was easy to miss the test).
Hookworm adult parasitism in the small intestine, male and female insects mating to lay eggs, worm eggs with feces excreted outside the body, in a warm and humid environment to develop into infected larvae, at this time if in contact with human skin will actively drill into the human body, into the blood vessels or lymphatic vessels, with the blood flow through the right heart to the lungs, through the pulmonary microvessels into the alveoli, and then along the bronchi to the pharynx, and then with swallowing to settle in the small intestine.
Hookworm infections often cause symptoms such as:
The larvae cause hook-larval dermatitis and respiratory symptoms: hyperemia spots or papules on the invading corresponding skin, with itchiness, and cough, bloody sputum, and asthma as the larvae migrate to the lungs.
Adult worms can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and anemia, mainly chronic blood loss and hypochromic microcytic anemia.
Prevention and control of the disease includes measures such as deworming, fecal management and personal protection.
Parasite Sixth Bomb: Pinworm
The baby can't sleep at night, keeps scratching his ass, may be infected with pinworms.
Shenzhen Children's Hospital recently had a three-year-old baby who couldn't sleep because of his itchy ass at night. The receiving doctor saw a suspected pinworm with a white thread around his butt, which was identified by the laboratory as a pinworm.
Pinworms mainly parasitize the blind part of the human body, and will crawl out of the anus at night to lay eggs, causing the child to itch around the anus and unable to sleep.
Because the worm has the characteristics of rapid development and spread of insect eggs, it can be directly infected through its own anus ——— hand ——— mouth, and can also be infected by accidentally eating food or water containing insect eggs, or even inhaling insect eggs fluttering in the air, resulting in repeated infection and human-to-human transmission.
Prevention is mainly based on the development of good living and hygiene habits, including correcting children's finger sucking habits, cutting nails frequently, washing hands before meals and after going to the toilet, sleeping without wearing open crotch pants, and regularly ironing bedding.
Doctors remind: to strengthen the management of feces and water sources, eliminate flies, pay attention to dietary hygiene and develop good personal hygiene habits. If the child is diagnosed with parasites, parents should not panic, as long as the timely symptomatic treatment, it can be recovered quickly.
