GI system Trematode and Cestodes Flashcards
clonorchiasis
cause
clonorchis and opsthocris
human liver trematodes
clonorchiasis
epi (of each)
clonorchis-> Asia
opsthorchis-> Europe and Asia in humans and fish eating mammals
clonorchiasis
life cycle
they live in the bile duct and liver of mammals and release eggs
eggs ingested by snails and develop into cercaria-> penetrate fish
develop into metacercaria and we eat the fish
goes to intestine and bile
clonorchiasis
path
worms tunnel LIVER-> causing hyperplasia of epithelium
can also cause toxic irritation of liver and bile duct->- and thickening of bile duct walls -> causing fibrous thickening* obstruction or biliary cirrhosis
clonorchiasis
ss
fever anemia jaundice* edema ascites* abdominal pain indigestion malnutrition nausea and diarrhea
clonorchiasis
dx
mall thick shelled eggs with shoulders founded in stained fecal concentrations
clonorchiasis
tx
praziquantel
schistosomiasis
cause
schistosome species
trematodes that live in human blood vessels
schistosomiasis
epi
Africa Asia philipines and caribbean islands
human and mammal
schistosomiasis
life cycle
blood vessels
eggs released into blood stream and migrate to intestinal tract / urinary bladder
miracidia hatch in waterways and penetrate snails
in snails they develop into cercaria-> and are released into water back to humans (CERCARIA ARE THE INFECTIOUS FORM)
In humans after skin penetration they develop into schistosomula that enter the blood stream
schistosomiasis
path
avoidance of immunity
toxic irritation of the itssues
little tissue damage via adults bc they incorporate host antigens onto their surface-> so they aren’t recognized as foreign
schistosomiasis
ss
can cause?
enlarged fibroticc liver and spleen
dysuria urinary frequency abdominal pain hematuria ascites edema conjunctival granulomas
symptoms related to amount and location of eggs
can produce squamous cell epithelioma
schistosomiasis
dx
over percolated eggs with single spines that differ in their locations for each species
schistosomiasis
tx
praziquantel
fascioliasis
cause
fasciola hepatica - sheep liver fluke
fasciola giganti - giant liver trematode
fascioliasis
epi
hepatica- worldwide
giganti- herbiboes in africa asia and hawaii
both have humans and herbivores as reservoir and definitive hosts
fascioliasis
life cycle
they live in livers and eggs are released via poop
miracidia hatch in waterways and penetrate snails
in snails they develop into cercaria-> and are released into water
and turn into metacercaria
METACERCARIA ARE THE INFECTIOUS FORM)
we eat the raw plants and metacercaria penetrate our intestines
fascioliasis
path
adult worms destroy liver and infect other organs
cause mechanical and toxic irritation* in liver and cause obstruction and fibrosis*
fascioliasis
ss
fever chills night sweats headache anorexia malaise
wt loss urticaria eosinophilia
fascioliasis
dx
large thin shelled operculated eggs from fecal concentrations
fascioliasis
tx
triclabendazole
diphyllobothriasis
cause
diphyllobothrium latum
cestode
fish tapeworm
diphyllobothriasis
epi
worldwide
fish eating mammals
diphyllobothriasis
life cycle
worms live in small intestine of humans lay eggs via pupa
coricidum larva hatch and are ingested by crustaceans -> into procercoid larva
infected crustaceans ingested by freshwater fish and plerocercoid larva develop into muscles of fish
we at the raw fish and they attach to the mucosa
diphyllobothriasis
path
infection produces mechanical irritation to mucosa of smalll intestine
toxic substances excreted affect the CNS*
diphyllobothriasis
ss
enteritis
vomiting diarrhea abdominal pain wt loss allergic responses
adult worms deplete fit B 12*-> causing pernicious anemia
diphyllobothriasis
dx
thin shelled percolated eggs in fecal concentrations
diphyllobothriasis
tx
niclosamide
therapeutic doses of Vitamins B12
dipylidiasis
cause
dipylidum caninum
(cestode)-> dog tapeworm
dipylidiasis
location
transmission
worldwide
humans and mammals
via fleas and lice (intermediate host)
dipylidiasis
who gets the disease
human infections are in children who accidentally eat fleas or lice
dipylidiasis
what life cycle infects us
cysticercoid larva infects us thats inside the ingested flea or lice
dipylidiasis
life cycle
adult worms life in intestines of humans and dogs
eggs embryonate into oncospheres and are in fecal contaminated soil*
ingested by fleas or lice larva
develop into cysticercoid larva
humans or dogs ingest the fleas and the cysticercoid larva
dipylidiasis
path
adult worms attach to intestine
the metabolic products cause an inflammatory response, hypersensitivity and hemorrhagic enteritis
dipylidiasis
immunity
no
dipylidiasis
ss
womiting diarrhea
nervous symptoms skin rash and allergic response
dipylidiasis
dx
egg packets containing multiple eggs with onchospheres
dipylidiasis
tx
praziquantel
Echinococcosis
cause
echinocactus granulosis, multiocularis, vogali
GI cestode
Echinococcosis
epi
worldwide
mammals
Echinococcosis
stage that infects us
we eat the onchospheres
develop into hydatid cysts
Echinococcosis
life cyle
adult worms live in small intestines of carnivores
onchospheres passed in feces
humans/ herbs or omivores ingest feces and onchospheres hats and penetrate small intestine to tissues
carnivores eat the animals-> cysts develop into adult worms
Echinococcosis
path
cysts develop and displace tissue (these are the HUGE ones) result in loss of function and DEVELOPMENT OF HYPERSENSITIVITY
multiocularis-> alveolar hydatid cysts
volgeli-> polycystic hydatid cysts
Echinococcosis
immunity
no
Echinococcosis
ss
due to HYPERSENSITIVITY response to cysts
sweating anorexia fatigue and wt loss
rupture of these cysts cause anaphylactic shock and then you die
Echinococcosis
dx
hydatid cysts on CT Xray or tissue preps
