The disease echinochasmosis is one of the most serious brain diseases today. It is caused by a virus that attacks the nerve cells of the brain and can lead to irreversible consequences. In this article we will look at the causes of this disease, symptoms, methods of treatment and prevention.
Causes of echinochasmosis The main cause of echinochomycosis is infection of the human brain by Echinococcus worm parasites. Echinococcal worms are nematodes consisting of many cells. They reach sizes up to 1 meter in length. Parasites of this type can be affected by other parasitic eggs and infectious bacteria, which only worsens their effect on the body. Most often, they parasitize in the intestines or liver of domestic animals. Once in the human body, Echinocoma larvae infect organs and tissues, including the human brain.
Symptoms of echinochismosis Echinocalmosis often has no obvious symptoms at the initial stage. However, as the disease progresses, the following symptoms may appear:
- Headache. - Nausea. - Dizziness. - Increased fatigue. - Problems with sleep. If these symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor. Self-medication can aggravate the body's condition.
Treatment of echinochiasis There is currently no effective method of treating echinochiasis. All modern treatment methods are aimed only at relieving the symptoms of the disease, after which the patient must undergo a long course of treatment. Treatment methods may include surgical removal of worms from the patient's tissues and organs. However, even if the patient undergoes treatment successfully, this does not guarantee that the disease will not recur after some time. Echinochomasis infection can be avoided by careful hand hygiene, avoiding contact with animals, and protecting yourself from insect bites.
