Baobab disease is a serious zoonotic disease caused by echinococcus tapeworm parasitized in humans and some animals and other hosts, the early stage of the liver worm has no obvious symptoms, with the development of the disease may appear abdominal distension, obstructive jaundice and other symptoms of cystic compression. The disease is usually treated with surgery.
1. Liver worm, also called hepatic echinococcosis, is caused by human infection with echinococcus larvae and parasitic lesions in the liver. In the early stage of the disease, there are often no obvious symptoms. As the disease continues to develop, the lesions will gradually increase in size, which can lead to cyst compression symptoms or cyst complications (rupture, compression, infection, etc.). Clinical manifestations vary according to the site of parasitization, size and number of cysts.
2. If the parasitic site of the worm compresses the portal vein and bile duct, it will lead to splenomegaly, ascites, obstructive jaundice and other symptoms; if the lesion compresses the liver area, abdominal distension and abdominal pain will occur; if the lesion compresses the stomach, it will affect the appetite, with abdominal distension and nausea, and so on. In addition, the cysts can also lead to rupture, compression, infection and other complications, such as allergic reactions can lead to skin itching, respiratory difficulties and so on.
3. Liver cysticercosis is currently treated surgically to help remove the internal cysts of the worms, prevent overflow of cystic fluid, and prevent infection. Common surgical methods include removal of the internal capsule, opening of the external capsule, and laparoscopic removal. It can be accompanied by medication, including antipacking drugs such as mebendazole and albendazole. However, taking such drugs and the possibility of adverse reactions such as dry mouth, nausea, vomiting.
Patients with hepatic encapsulation disease should seek timely medical treatment for standardized treatment, and should not take medication without authorization to avoid triggering adverse reactions.
