Chardiasis is an intestinal disease that affects the digestive tract, caused by a microscopic flagellated protozoan parasite called Giardia lamblia (also called Giardia duodenalis and Giardia intestinalis), which affects the gastrointestinal tract. This is a fairly common cause of diarrheal disease, belching, gas and convulsions. Although these symptoms are very unpleasant, the disease is not dangerous at all. The parasite is associated with lining the tiny intestines in humans, where it weakens the absorption of carbohydrates and fats by the body from digested food. As soon as the animal or face is infected with Giardia intestinalis, the parasite exists in the intestine and moves into the stool. It can live outside the body and in the environment longer, because the parasite is protected by an outer shell.
Jardia infection has become recognized as one of the most common water-borne diseases. Infection occurs when swallowing cysts, the inactive form of Giardia lamblia, in contaminated water, food, hands or fomity.
causes
Zhardiazoz is easily detected by water contaminated with beer. Many animals have Jardia in their faeces and can move this parasite to rivers, streams and springs in rural areas where the water supply becomes polluted with raw sewage. Giardia can be transmitted by inadvertently putting something into your mouth that is contaminated with the faeces of a person or animal infected with Giardia, absorbing amateur water in pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, fountains, lakes, rivers, springs, ponds or streams that can be infected with drains. water or faeces in humans or animals, using raw food contaminated with Giardia.
Jardia infection is caused by a parasite called Giardia Giardia. It appears in two types.
- trophozoite: It manifests itself in active form.
- Cyst: It exists in an inactive form.
Cysts are responsible for the appearance of signs and symptoms of giardiasis. They can live for longer periods of time outside the body and can exist for several months in cold water. Infection occurs when swallowed cysts in polluted water, food, or by the fecal oral route. In the stomach, acid triggers a cyst, and a cyst secretes trophozoites (a single cyst produces 2 trophozoites). Trophozoites remaining in the cavity of the tubular proximal tiny intestine, where they can easily attach to the mucous membrane of the ventral sucking disk.
the symptoms
Symptoms of giardiasis can occur 3–25 days after infection, but usually occur within 10 days. Hyperdiasis can cause a variety of symptoms, such as abdominal cramps, excess intestinal gas, increased stomach gas, loss of appetite, upset nausea and vomiting, headache, flatulence, bloated sensation, and oily stools that tend to swim. These disorders can lead to weight loss and dehydration.
People exposed to bile may experience mild or complicated diarrhea, and in some cases no symptoms at all. Mild fever is rarely present.
Giardiasis affects the body's ability to absorb fats from food, so diarrhea has unabsorbed fats. This means that diarrhea floats, shines and smells very bad. In some cases, people have chronic diarrhea for up to several weeks or months with constant weight loss.
Treatment
Jardinia is usually cured with a drug called Flagyl, an antibiotic. It is usually taken three times a day for 5-10 days. Side effects may include nausea. It is not recommended to drink alcohol if Flagyl is used. This medicine is not prescribed in the early stages of pregnancy, because some of the drugs used to treat the infection can be dangerous to the fetus.
Albenzazole, metronidazole or furizolidone is generally recommended as an antibiotic for the treatment of giardiasis. But a number of precautions should be taken, such as washing hands thoroughly after using the toilet, carefully disposing of wastewater so that they do not contaminate surface water or groundwater, avoid consuming untreated water from sources, streams or lakes.
A child with diarrhea from giardiasis can lose excess fluid in the stool and become dehydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids is recommended - but without caffeinated beverages, they dehydrate faster.
