BackNew! The profile of "Parasitosis.Complete"+anisakidosis, clonorhosis
Dear patients, we have great news!
A new profile “Parasitosis" is now available in the OLYMP CDL.Complete”.
2 new tests were included in the profile:
- Anisakidosis IgG
- Clonorhosis IgG
The profile for which special pricing is provided includes the following tests:
- Ascariasis IgG
- Echinococcosis IgG
- Giardiasis IgM
- Giardiasis IgG
- Giardiasis IgA
- Opisthorchiasis IgM
- Opisthorchiasis IgG
- Toxocarosis IgG
- Trichinosis IgG
- Anisakidosis IgG
- Clonorhosis IgG
The profile "Parasitosis.Complete" is necessary for the diagnosis of the most common parasitic diseases ⠀
The analysis is done by detecting special proteins in the blood that indicate the body's contact with the pathogen. Therefore, it does not matter in which organ the parasite is located – traces of "stay" will necessarily remain in the blood.
Ascariasis
Ascariasis is a disease caused by parasitization in the human body by roundworms-ascariids.
Infection occurs by ingestion of food or earth particles contaminated with feces containing ascarid eggs. Bypassing the stomach, the eggs "get stuck" in the villi of the upper small intestine. Larvae emerge from the eggs, which immediately penetrate through the intestinal wall into the blood vessels. Through the bloodstream, the larva enters the system of the inferior genital vein, then through the blood sequentially into the following organs: the liver, the heart, and the lungs.
Why is it important to do test for Ascariasis?
A complication of ascariasis is often acute intestinal obstruction when worms become entangled in a tangle, get stuck in the intestinal lumen, and do not allow feces to escape. Subsequently, the blood supply to the intestine is disrupted, which necrotizes (“dies off”).
For diagnosis, it is necessary to pass a test for the detection of immunoglobulins G to ascarides – a specific blood test based on detecting the body's reaction to the presence of the pathogen in it
Echinococcosis
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis.
Echinococcus multilocularis – leads to the formation of multicameral lesions with the ability to germinate into adjacent tissues.
Why is it important to do tests for Echinococcosis?
Diagnosis of the disease presents certain difficulties. The cysts formed by the parasite are clearly visible during X-ray analysis. However, such cysts are typical for many diseases. To make an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to do a test for the detection of IgG antibodies to echinococcus.
This method gives a positive result in 90% of cases of hepatic echinococcosis and in 70-80% of cases of the pulmonary form.
Giardiasis
Giardiasis is an infectious disease caused by the flagellated microorganisms Giardia lamblia, affecting the duodenum and jejunum.
When entering the human body, Giardia begin to actively multiply and affect the duodenum and small intestine, leading to a violation of their function - peristalsis, absorption, and wall digestion. Diarrhea develops. Further, the biliary tract and gallbladder, as well as the pancreas, may be involved in the process with the development of inflammation of these organs.
Why is it important to do test for Giardiasis?
The "gold standard" of diagnosis is the detection of giardia by microscopy in feces and bile obtained by duodenal probing (bile sampling with a special instrument through the mouth opening, bypassing the esophagus and stomach). However, the parasite is not always excreted with feces, which makes it necessary to repeatedly repeat the test.
In recent years, a more convenient and less painful method of diagnosing giardiasis has been successfully used by detecting specific antibodies to giardiasis.
The test "Determination of IgM/G/A for Giardia lamblia" refers to the serological diagnosis of infectious diseases. The test material is blood, in which antibodies to the pathogen are detected.
Opisthorchiasis
Opisthorchiasis is a parasitic disease affecting the liver. The causative agent is the trematode Opisthorchis felineus. The early stage of the disease manifests itself in the form of acute allergosis (skin rashes, itching, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, etc.). The late stage of opisthorchiasis is accompanied by damage to the liver and biliary tract.
Why is it important to do test for Opisthorchiasis?
If the parasite does not secrete eggs that exit through the intestines, the only diagnostic method is to examine the blood serum for the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies.
The sensitivity of such a serological method in the acute phase approaches almost 100%, in the chronic phase – about 70%, which depends on the number of pathogens and individual characteristics of the body.
Toxocarosis
Toxocarosis is a parasitic disease transmitted to humans only through animals, the causative agent of which is the larva of roundworms of the genus Toxocara canis. It is generally accepted that the disease is transmitted only through infected dogs, and there is debate about the involvement of cats.
A person gets sick as follows: a sick animal releases parasite eggs into the environment along with feces. Due to non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, a person swallows particles of contaminated soil (for example, when eating unwashed fruits). Next, the eggs attach to the small intestine, from where the larvae hatch. The larvae penetrate through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and enter the liver with the blood flow, from there into the heart and then spread throughout the body.
Why is it important to do test for Toxocarosis?
The symptoms of toxocarosis are not very specific, it depends on the amount and localization of the pathogen.
A special feature of the diagnosis is that the standard method of fecal microscopy cannot detect larvae or eggs, since the parasite does not reproduce in the human body.
The most optimal is ELISA, a method for diagnosing toxocariasis, which detects IgG class antibodies to Toxocara canis larvae.
Trichinosis
Trichinosis is a parasitic disease caused by the nematode roundworms Trichinella spiralis. The disease is manifested by fever, the development of edema, muscle pain, and a high content of eosinophils is noted in the complete blood count during laboratory examination.
Why is it important to do test for Trichinosis?
In severe cases, damage to the myocardium of the heart and the central nervous system is possible.
Therefore, it is important to take an analysis for the "determination of IgG for Trichinella spiralis" - refers to the serological diagnosis of parasitic infections. The test material is blood, in which antibodies to the pathogen are detected.
Anisakidosis
Infection with anisakides is a fairly new phenomenon for Kazakhstan. But with the spread of traditional Japanese cuisine in Kazakhstan, the problem has become relevant for us. Since the use of raw and slightly salted fish products of oceanic origin, of course, carries risks of infection.
Why is it important to do test for Anisakidosis?
Infection with nematodes of the genus Anisakis is most common in coastal countries where eating raw seafood is part of the traditional cuisine. The greatest risk is from raw cod, herring, and mackerel, as well as “red fish” varieties. There is currently an increase in the morbidity of anisakidosis everywhere, which may be related to the growing popularity of raw seafood.
Its rare but dangerous complications are acute intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, ascites and pneumoperitoneum, and allergic reactions.
Therefore, it is important to do a test for Determination of IgG to nematodes of the genus Anisakida.
Clonorchiasis
Clonorchiasis is a specific disease caused by the liver fluke. Infection most often occurs by eating poorly heat-treated fish.
Why is it important to be tested for Clonorchiasis?
In 70% of cases, the infection is asymptomatic.
In the acute period, the disease manifests itself in the form of fever, abdominal pain, enlarged liver, liver soreness, mild jaundice. Diarrhea may appear later. Symptoms usually last from 2 to 4 weeks. Chronic inflammation of the biliary tract with a massive lesion can develop to liver atrophy - fibrosis. Jaundice appears if an accumulation of worms prevents the outflow of bile. Complications: inflammation of the bile duct, liver cancer in the late period of the disease.
To make an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to do an ELISA test to determine the immunoglobulin class G (IGG) to CLONORCHIS SINENSIS in the serum
The profile of "Parasitosis.Complete" costs only 19,160 tenge, instead of 23,880 tenge if you rent separately!
The price of a profile is always cheaper than doing all the tests separately.
The profile of "Parasitosis.Complete" is available in all treatment rooms throughout Kazakhstan.
