Amoebiasis is usually called amoebic dysentery. The disease is caused by a simple microorganism and can affect both children and adults. In the organisms of different people, the symptoms of amoebiasis are manifested in different ways. All of them in the majority very unpleasant and discomfort deliver weight. The earlier they can be recognized, the easier it will be to treat.
The main symptoms of amoebiasis
Malicious microbes and bacteria can live in any organism and for the time being do not give themselves away. They start to become active when the human immunity is weakened. In this case, microorganisms start to multiply very actively, and because of too much accumulation, the disease develops.
It is accepted to distinguish two main forms of the disease:
- intestinal amebiasis;
- extraintestinal amebiasis.
Symptoms of intestinal amebiasis from manifestations of ordinary dysentery differ little and look as follows:
- diarrhea (sometimes accompanied by impurities of blood in the stool);
- a sharp increase in temperature;
- acute, and sometimes aching pain in the abdomen;
- nausea;
- deterioration of appetite;
- weakness;
- cardiopalmus;
- hypovitaminosis ;
- anemia.
The extra-intestinal form of the disease is considered more dangerous, because it can affect almost any organs. Most often, amebiasis affects the liver. As a result, the inflammatory process begins to develop in the body. So to all the above symptoms can add pain in the liver. It is all accompanied by a depressed state. Many patients become more irritable and nervous during the illness.
Patients who have suffered amebiasis, after getting rid of the infection should be ready for a long rehabilitation and recovery of the intestinal microflora - almost every second patient is diagnosed with dysbiosis.
Possible complications of amebiasis
Amoebic dysentery, in the same way as its usual variety, requires prompt and serious treatment. Disregarding amebiasis, you can easily earn brain abscess - the disease is in fact very dangerous. In addition, amebiasis can give complications in the form of benign amoebae in the walls of the intestine or amoeba stricture - a problem that leads to frequent constipation and intestinal obstruction .
Treatment of amebiasis should be prescribed exclusively by a specialist. It begins only after a complete examination. The treatment course is appointed individually, depending on the form and stage of the disease.
