Disease information
CYSTICERCOSIS
The
infectious
cisticercosis is
a
disease
caused by the huevecillos of
a
called parasite Solium Tapeworm, that produces
a
well - known
disease
like teniasis as well.
Although the two are
diseases
that have greater incidence in countryside, the lack of hygiene and bad food preparation, mainly of the meat of pig and in smaller degree by
vegetables
,
vegetables
and fruits, make
a
frequent
disease
in any zone and can
attack
any person with different levels from gravity and until the death. I also
infect
can occur to introduce the dirty
fingers
in the mouth after defecating or by water contaminated with human excrement.
The tapeworm or tapeworm, is
a
flat lombriz of variable size, that it lodges in the human
intestine
causes
a
teniasis. The lombriz that is
a
parasite consumes the nutrimentos that the person would have to take advantage of, which can take to an undernourishment. Sometimes part of this lombriz gets to expel
itself
when defecating,
but
it returns to grow, getting to reach impressive lengths.
The most serious
problem
is than their huevecillos, lodge in the
stomach
and
intestine
later to get up themselves by means of the sanguineous torrent to other organs in where they cause severe damages. The huevecillos of the tapeworm developed within the body or directly ingested of meat of head of cattle or pig whose foods were contaminated with excrement or those that they contain fruits,
vegetables
and
vegetables
watered with black waters, are those that cause the dangerous cisticercosis.
The cysticercus, or huevecillos of the tapeworm, usually lodge and to affect to the brain and the
spinal
marrow (neurocisticercosis) eyes,
liver
, muscles and subcutaneous cellular weave, is to say under the skin. The most serious damages are obvious in the brain.
I
infect
one takes place when
a
person who is carrying of the Tapeworm, does not use the suitable norms of hygiene, she does not wash the hands after defecating and contaminates with its hands the foods that prepare. Also the foods with black waters are contaminated or when the animals as the pig or the head of cattle ingests human excrement.
The cysticercus, forms cysts that vary of size in the brain, can have only one or tens of them. They are located in the furrows of the
cerebral
crust, cisterns, white substance and
cerebral
ventricles and the form of adopt
has
to also do with the damage that causes. They can be two racemosos or cellulous forms of grouping.
the racemosos, have form irregula and they do not have head with hooks and cupping
glasses
, are developed in the
cerebral
ventricles or they extend in the cortical subarachnoid space.
the cellulous ones are spherical and have their head and grarfios and formed cupping
