\ud83e\udeb1 Infection with helminth parasites (worms) is one of the main reasons that:
\n\u2013 suppresses a person\u2019s defenses;
\n\u2013 worsens the course of existing diseases;
\n\u2013 affects the nervous system;
\n\u2013 increases the number of pathogenic microorganisms in the intestines;
\n\u2013 reduces the effectiveness of the vaccine;
\n\u2013 causes allergic reactions, poor appetite, and unexplained fever.
\nIn addition to mechanical damage, they cause harm with their metabolic breakdown products, which leads to various consequences as a result of intoxication of the body in both children and adults.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd2c Since helminths can provoke various symptoms of the disease and not all can secrete eggs, there are two main methods for detecting parasites:
\n1. The classic method or the simplest is microscopic examination of fresh feces. In our laboratory "Medi Lab+" we also perform the "Parasep" enrichment method, which is designed to concentrate helminth eggs, cysts, and protozoa.
\n2. Microscopic method - allows you to detect eggs, cysts and diagnose helminthiasis, which are most common: ascariasis, enterobiasis, trichocephalosis, giardiasis.
\nThe classic method is not entirely convenient and requires a number of requirements for passing the analysis.<\/p>\n
\ud83e\ude78 The "blood test for helminths" method consists in detecting the presence of antibodies to various types of parasites using the ELISA method.
\n\ud83d\udca1At Medi Lab+, this method can be used to test for antibodies to:
\n\u2013 ascaris
\n\u2013 toxocar
\n\u2013 Giardia
\n\u2013 opisthorchiasis
\n\u2013 Trichinella
\n\u2013 echinococcus
\n\u2013 clonorchiasis
\n\u2013 anisakidosis
\n\u2013 cysticercosis.<\/p>\n
\u203c\ufe0f The presence of only antibodies to helminths without monitoring the course of the disease, clinical manifestations, and consultation with the attending physician is not a definitive diagnosis.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
