Editor's Notes
- #1 Mature female worm produces two lakh eggs per day, which passes with the feces. Albuminous coat with unsegmented ovum
- #5 Visceral larva migrans – if larvae enter systemic circulation (from pulmonary capillaries) to reach other organs like brain, spinal cord, heart, kidney; usually seen in massive infection
- #6 PEM, Vit. A deficiency (night blindness) Intestinal obstruction (particularly in children 1-5 years), intussusception & volvulus
- #7 Microscopic – direct examination of feces following floatation method. Microscopic – direct examination of feces : bile stained eggs. (eggs may not be seen at least 40 days after infection
- #8 Piperazine citrate - suspected intestinal or biliary obstruction since this drug paralyzes worms to aid expulsion. Levamisole Mebendazole/ Albendazole – drug of choice but contraindicated in pregnancy & heavy infection serves dual function: treats the children and reduces the overall worm burden in the community
- #11 Nocturnal enuresis
- #12 pyrantel pamoate
- #14 Epidemiology >1200m infections each year of which 100m are symptomatic It is due to 2 parasites both of which occur worldwide: Necator americanus - predominant species in sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia and the Pacific Ancylostoma duodenale –predominant in S. Europe, N. Africa, western Asia, northern China, Japan and the west coast of America Sites of skin penetration: Most common sites are: Thin skin between toes Dorsum of the feet Inner side of the soles Gardeners & miners – skin of hands Buccal cavity lined with teeth & cutting plates and anticoagulant glands
- #15 Adult worms live in the intestine and excrete eggs in the faeces In the absence of latrines, eggs contaminate soil and develop in warm, damp conditions eggs hatch and infective filariform larvae develop in about one week and remain infective in soil for many weeks filariform larvae penetrate the skin when a person walks barefoot in the soil larva migrate from the skin to the lungs via the lymphatic and blood systems larvae penetrate the capillary wall to enter the alveolus Larvae are propelled up the respiratory tree to the epiglottis where they are swallowed Develops to adult stage in upper intestine; adult worms are fully mature after about 5 weeks Eggs are excreted in the faeces Note: eating soil (pica) is a common practice. Ingested filariform larvae of A. duodenale can pass directly to the gut mucosa
- #19 Pathology Hookworms move several times a day to different attachment sites in the upper intestinal mucosa to ingest blood They secrete an anticoagulant which causes the old attachment sites to continue to bleed Heavy hookworm infection results in chronic haemorrhage from the duodenal and jejunal mucosa The combination of constant blood loss due to hookworm infection and poor iron intake in the diet results in iron deficiency anaemia A. duodenale ingests 4-5 times more blood each day than N. americanus In a child, the continued daily loss of 10ml of blood can lead to severe anaemia Clinical features of hookworm anemia: Extreme pallor Abnormal appetite showing Pica or Geophagy – perverted taste for earth, mud or lime Epigastric tenderness with dyspepsia Constipation Puffy face with swelling of lower eyelids Pedal edema Growth retardation General appearance – pale plumpy with protuberant abdomen & dry lustreless hair
- #21 If Hb is below 30%, then anemia should be treated first with Iron till Hb comes over 50%. Mebendazole is contraindicated in pregnancy – use Bephenium hydroxynaphthoate “alcopar” Prevention and control : Discourage soil eating (pica)
- #22 Male and female worm have narrow anterior portion penetrate the intestinal mucosa.
- #24 Rectal prolapse in children is a common complication. imp
