Allantiasis

Allantiasis is a medical term used to describe a condition characterized by the appearance of tumors or cysts on the skin and mucous membranes. These formations can be caused by various reasons, such as infections, injuries, hormonal imbalances and other factors.

Allantiasis can appear in various forms, including cysts, tumors, abscesses and other formations. Some may be painful and cause discomfort, while others may not show any symptoms.

Treatment of allantiasis depends on the cause of its occurrence and the type of formation. In some cases, surgery may be required, and in others, drug therapy. It is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Allantiasis is an intestinal disease of bacterial etiology, characterized by the appearance of tumor-like formations on the skin and internal organs, sometimes with signs of inflammatory changes in various organs. In cases of lymphadenitis, the picture can simulate tuberculosis. The lymph nodes and the skin around them are affected.

In most cases, the cause is E. coli, staphylococcus, streptococcus, protozoa and helminths. The disease is most often registered within 2-3 years after abdominal injury or surgery. This association was called the “Bombay ulcer”.

The main mechanism and trigger of the disease are nonspecific virulence factors of the infection. Against the background of sharply weakened immunological reactivity and associated nutritional disorders (hypotrophy, dystrophy), chronic diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys, pancreas with one form or another of enzymatic deficiency naturally arise or worsen. Intestinal dysbiosis (both acute and chronic), often accompanied by a failure of the immune system and venous walls, serves as a frequent entry point for infection.

The pathogenesis is very complex, but the following general sequence of functional and structural changes in organs in conditions of intestinal infection and chronic inflammatory diseases of the abdominal organs has been clearly proven: increased permeability of the mucous membrane and adnexal cavities, exudation of the liquid part of the blood, formation of secondary porosity and basement membrane, swelling and edema elastic and collagen fibers of the submucosal
