Filariasis or gout

Hello friends, I hope everyone is well. Today I will discuss with you about filariasis. Summary: Filariasis is a parasitic infection that is transmitted by mosquitoes to the human body and damages the lymphatic system and tissues under the skin. Behind it are parasites called Uchereria bakerfti, Borgia malai and Borgia Timori. The type of disease caused by the first two parasites is one of the major health problems in India. Men and women, both and people of any age can be affected by this disease. Many people who carry the virus show no symptoms for the rest of their lives, while others have a fever, body aches, and swollen lymph nodes and genitals. People with chronic symptoms have much more swelling due to edema in the lower part of the body, which occurs when the lymphatic channels (lymph nodes) are obstructed, which is called elephantiasis. Parasite-resistant treatment is recommended by testing the blood on the slide. Symptoms of filariasis - Depending on the parasitic species that causes the filariasis infection. Generally, the symptoms do not appear until the infected person becomes an adult, because that is when the number of parasites is highest. Asymptomatic In most cases, the affected person does not show any symptoms. Inflammatory tissues are present when the spleen is damaged in those whose blood has a large number of parasites. Some people's urine looks cloudy. Final status: The final stage of filariasis occurs immediately after infection due to the body's immune response to the parasites. The bite of the infection is so severe that the infected person cannot even go to work on his own due to disability. Symptoms: Irregular fever. Trembling. Pain in the body. Painful and swollen lymph nodes. Accumulation of excess fluid, called edema, is seen in various organs and genitals as a result of lymphatic duct obstruction, and symptoms begin to subside. Inflammation of the genitals, testicles, semen, and testicles. Pain in groin or testicles. Peeling of the skin. Swelling of the limbs. Chronic lymphedema. Regular lymph node swelling. Accumulation of fluid in the testicles is called hydrocele. Mixing lymphatic fluid with urine gives a cloudy color. Edema in the genitals of women and men. Edema of the breasts, arms and legs which is known as elephantiasis. Edema causes the skin to become rough and thick.

Other symptoms of filariasis include:

Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia It is a secret type of filariasis infection. These symptoms are seen from the inflammatory response to infection. Symptoms include: Dry cough at night Breathing in the sound of snoring Shortness of breath Hepatomegaly Lymph node swelling Weakness and weight loss Chest X-ray found abnormalities Ankylosing spondylitis (this is called drooping skin). Scabies on the skin like itching. Nodules of skin that are raised like hard bones. Occasionally, associated with epilepsy. Loisis Symptoms of hypersensitivity to a parasite called El loa are found in Nigeria. It includes: Pain Itching Hiccups (urticaria) or hives Swelling at the joints. Yoga with nerves. Treatment of filariasis The final symptoms of filariasis are often treated with anti-histamines, and painkillers. However, with the help of these drugs, only the symptoms can be eliminated. These drugs help kill parasites only when they are in the larval stage and prevent adult parasites from growing, even killing them. Although these drugs are effective, they have some side effects, which can be alleviated with anti-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory drugs. Caution is required when taking all these drugs because if a bunch of dead worms accumulates in the lymph nodes or blood vessels, allergies or boils may appear in the body. Surgery Complications may require surgery if abnormal fluid or fluid builds up in the testicles, excess calcium builds up in the lymph nodes, or worms remain in the larval stage. Lifestyle management The following steps need to be taken with the application of medication during infection: Keep hands and feet clean. Then wipe dry, apply softening cream. Cut nails and keep clean. Stay away from injuries and infections. Keep an eye on whether there are any wounds and use anti-fungal cream for treatment if necessary. Keep every part of the body clean daily to prevent fungal or bacterial infections. Keep your legs elevated or walk every day to prevent swelling. Get plenty of rest.
