Xiaoqing, a 17-year-old girl from Sanxiang Town, Zhongshan City (pseudonym)
I didn't expect anything,
Tossed her for months with abdominal pain diarrhea,
It's actually a small bug with a dense belly...
Two months ago, Xiaoqing had no obvious precipitating causes of bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sticky stools, 5-6 times / day, and always felt tired and weak. After repeated hospital transfers, there was no improvement.
At the beginning of July, Xiaoqing came to the Department of Nephrology of Zhongshan Bo'ai Hospital for treatment due to dizziness, fatigue and puffiness. The doctor did allergen tests, immune tests, stool eggs and other tests on Xiaoqing, and the results were negative, and finally a gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed. The attending physician Yin Quan was shocked when he saw it, and the intestinal cavity was covered with small insects that were alive and squirming, and the real "culprit" came out of the water.

After deworming, acid cells reduction, correction of anemia and other treatments, Xiaoqing's symptoms are eliminated.
Where did the "worm disease" in her intestines come from?
Xiaoqing lasted for more than two months of abdominal pain and diarrhea, went to many hospitals, multiple departments for diagnosis is unknown, and finally solved the mystery of abdominal pain - parasitic infection - in the department of hematology and rheumatology.
So where does her "worm disease" come from?
It turned out that Xiaoqing liked to go to the restaurant with her friends and classmates to eat sushi raw fish and sashimi. Xiaoqing's father told the doctor that when she gathered at her home or relatives' house during the New Year's Festival, she would always put the most tender fish, meat and vegetables into the ingredients, and mix them together and eat them directly raw.
Doctors analyze that the worms in the small green intestine are likely to be related to serious infections with parasites caused by long-term consumption of raw food. However, the infection of parasites will also vary from person to person, for some people with more gastric acid secretion, a small amount of parasites can be destroyed by gastric acid after entering the human body, which is not harmful to the human body.
But for most people, after eating fish or pork infected by insects, the eggs will enter the intestine, and after the intestines develop into adults, some of the eggs will develop into larvae, and then enter the intestinal wall, and then enter the blood, lymph, muscles, and "settle down" in various parts of the body.
How can I prevent parasitic infections?
According to doctors, parasitic infections are the most common cause of eosinophilia.
Prevention of parasitic diseases should be done -
(1) Pay attention to personal hygiene, cut nails frequently, and insist on washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
(2) Prevent "insects from entering through the mouth". Do not drink raw water, do not eat raw or undercooked fish, meat, shrimp, crabs, pay special attention not to eat rice pork, snails, sashimi, diamond horns, sprouts, etc., raw melons, fruits, vegetables to wash.
For the sake of health, it is better not to be greedy. Improve the cooking method, pay attention to the use of raw food, cooked food kitchen utensils separately.
(3) Avoid contact between the skin of the hands and feet and the moist soil and crops where hookworm filamentous larvae lurk.
(4) Avoid contact with infected water in the epidemic area.
