Maggot worm infestation (Oxyuriasis, Enterobiasis)
The large intestine of the children is affected by the pinworms at a pinworm infection. The main symptom is a strong pruritus at the anus, by scrapers and following this one mouth-takes fingers away from it to frequent, repeated infections indium this one leads.
The maggot worm infestation is the most frequent vermis illness in the moderate zones by far with children. The only 1.2 centimeters of tall, white females of the pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis) live (Colon ascending) in the blind gut and in the large intestine. The females walk to the anus region at night where they put their eggs down. The eggs are infectiously already 4 to 6 hours the egg filing. It comes so lightly to a so-called fecal oral prolonged gestation (scraper > laundry > mouth). The child is alone infected again and again. Several members of the family are often concerned, too.
An infection with the helminth eggs can (ex. also by arriving of door handles: Toilets) or be carried out of toys which are used with infected children. Prerequisite is natural that put or eat without flatware the children wash the fingers without hands into the mouth.
One recognizes the maggot worm infestation as follows:
- The pathognomonic symptom is the nightly pruritus in the anus region.
· Around the anus also can come to an eczema or fissures (would catch on in the skin or mucosa) because of scratching.
- With girls occasionally vaginal discharge is watched.
- The small, white, well mobile vermises are often visible at the anus or in the stool.
- Perhaps your physician will make a so-called "adhesive tape smear preparation". An adhesive tape is stuck and removed on the anus skin. Perhaps available helminth eggs can be identified under the microscope.
Numerous vermicides stand by the therapy at the disposal. The medicines are given in tablets or juices. Sauerkraut and carrots support the anthelminthic therapy. To avoid a renewed infection, a laundry climacteric must be carried out. The hands should consistently be washed before all meals and the fingers may not be licked. It is the best to keep the fingernails short since the helminth eggs can stick under them. They can adhere also to toys. The game utensils should therefore be cleaned thoroughly with hot water and washing-up liquid.
Members of the family perhaps concerned must be co-given therapy to.
