Attention to ingest raw vegetables, the danger is called Amoebiasis

Amoebiasis is a disease in developed acute, subacute or chronic, characterized by ulcer-necrotic lesions of the colon with a tendency to localization in other organs, such as the liver, due to microscopic protozoan Entamoeba histolvtica and widespread in some countries, particularly tropical . It is often asymptomatic or manifested by forms of diarrhea and bleeding. The pests is by ingestion of food, especially raw vegetables or water contaminated. The Entoamoeha histolytica has a life cycle that includes several stages: vegetans, precistica, cystic. It is during cystic Outer very resistant, which may have an infestation. Penetrated the body with food or drink, the cyst was localized initially in the large intestine: it is found in your diarrhea and appears highly mobile, able to grow, to multiply in many parts as are the original nucleus of the tissue necrotizzare lytic digestion of the same and achieve the necessary nourishment. The various parties were formed in fact lurking in tiny pits that they dig their enzymes in the mucosa, the submucosa and muscle of the intestinal wall (lesions such ulcers to button his shirt), thereby triggering the clinical symptoms, this task after a period d ' about 9 days of incubation, corresponding to the time required for the cysts colonize in the large intestine, and is characterized by intense abdominal pain, disseminated or confined to the ileocecal region or even cramping pain, acute attacks of dysentery with several volleys of daily diarrhea mixed with blood , mucus and necrotic material, followed by more or less long intervals of relative normality with normal stools. With the recurrence of the attacks can develop anemia, dehydration and persistent fever (subacute amebiasis). If amoebiasis is confined to a state with loss of appetite and dyspeptic wasting it comes to chronic amoebiasis. Often, the parasite can infest other organs such as liver, blood trasportatevi: amoebic hepatitis and amoebic liver abscess, presenting with pain and swelling of the right hypochondrium, fever, increased number of circulating white blood cells; swells the liver (hepatomegaly) and the right side of the diaphragm is raised and radiologically sticky. Rarely the parasite can be observed in the skin (cutaneous amoebiasis), brain, kidney, spleen, but always, as in the liver, in the form of abscess. Intestinal infection and amebic liver has a generally favorable prognosis, if recognized and treated early and adequately. The therapy is carried out by administering drugs that act simultaneously elected on the amoebae as metronidazole. Ne) cases of hepatic abscess therapy also will take antibiotics. Proper treatment must be accompanied by appropriate precautions igienicodietetiche, which consist in a hospital bed during the acute period, liquid diet for several days and, if necessary, rehydrate the patient through a drip. Then to prevent that disease could spread, you need to take appropriate prophylactic measures such as: disinfczione of fecal material, water sterilization and destruction of flies that can transmit the infectious agent.
