Trichuris Trichiura Infection
Trichuris trichiura infection, also called trichuriasis, is an intestinal parasitosis caused by a worm that lodges in the large intestine and is acquired mainly by ingesting water or food contaminated with its eggs.
Frequent symptoms: Many people have no discomfort; when it appears, it may include abdominal pain, occasional diarrhea and, in cases with a higher parasite load, tiredness or loss of appetite.
Common causes: It is associated with poor hygiene and sanitation conditions, especially in warm and humid areas.
Which specialist treats it? The evaluation usually begins with the general practitioner or the pediatrician, and the infectious disease specialist may intervene in persistent cases; in particular situations the general surgeon takes part. If you suspect a parasitosis, the most prudent thing is to see a doctor for an evaluation with appropriate tests.
