Helminthiases - the diseases caused by parasitic worms which have lodged an organism - helminths and their larvas.

Etiology, pathogenesis. Infection occurs after contact with the polluted skins of foxes, dogs, to water of landlocked reservoirs and at the use in nutrition of the wood berries collected in district. Clumps of larvas (it is usual in a liver) sprout in a tissue, break blood supply of organs, cause a degeneration and an atrophy of a tissue, render strong influence.

Signs, current. Disease develops slowly, longly remains asymptomatic. The progressing augmentation of a liver is marked, there is a gravity and pressure in right hypochondrium, a dull ache. In some years the liver becomes tuberous and very dense. The icterus can develop. The lien is quite often enlarged. The ascites is possible. At disintegration of units the body temperature raises, the sweating, a leukocytosis, an eosinophilia are observed. The hyperproteinemia, a hypergammaglobulinemia are characteristic. The necrosis and germination in the bottom vena cava can lead to profuse bleedings. At metastasises in lungs there can be signs of a pneumonia, a bronchitis, a pneumorrhagia. The metastasis in a brain imitates a clinical picture of a tumour of a brain.
