Meningitis Caused By Helminth Parasites

There are many causes of meningitis, usually caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Depending on the cause and mode of infection that have different clinical manifestations.
Encephalitis, meningitis caused by amoeba
Amoeba is found in rivers, ponds, lakes, ..

. invading the human body through the nose while swimming or submerged underwater. From the nose, the amoeba into the brain destroys brain tissue, the disease is not transmitted by mouth, there is no amoeba in salt water and the disease is not spread from person to person.
Manifestations: From 1 - 7 days when amoeba attacks, patients experience headache, fever, nausea Time after the patient lost balance, there are seizures, hallucinations The disease gets worse quickly and usually dies within 1 - 12 days, whether or not treated.
Meningitis caused by dendritic worms
The disease is transmitted from animals to humans, the Gnathostoma nematode larvae attach to the intestinal wall of animals such as pigs, dogs, cats and then excrete feces and develop into embryos in water environment.



. They grow in intermediate hosts like fish, frogs, and water snakes. Infected people eat food made from fish, snakes, poultry that have larvae or drink uncooked water. Worm larvae can travel under the skin, reaching organs, eye sockets, and nervous system causing meningitis.
Meningitis caused by dog and cat roundworm infections
People who ingest food contaminated with eggs of these worms are caused by flies, or caused by worm eggs from their hands when in contact with the soil, but not washed before eating. In the body, larvae of Toxocara canis larva move to many pathogens such as itchy skin, blindness, swelling of liver, pleura, meningitis,
Meningitis caused by tapeworm cysts
People ingest raw rice pork like cooked pork, into the small intestine, the larvae develop into adult flukes.
Adult tapeworm is in the small intestine of the egg-laying feces, the eggs follow the faeces, when the pig ingests (the pig is the intermediate host), the eggs hatch into the larvae, the larvae penetrate the intestinal wall of the pig's body in the form of follicles Flukes should be called "rice pork".
If a person eats food that has not been well cooked, it gets infected with the tapeworm, from the gut the larvae enter the bloodstream and cause hard nodules in the muscles, especially in the subcutaneous tissue, brain and eyes. People who are intermediate hosts, tapeworm cysts can cause meningitis, brain damage causing seizures, vision loss or blindness, .
