Worms crawl into the lungs, a Vietnamese patient deaths

Worm Strongyloides stercoralis is likely waiting in the intestines of people dozens of years until the opportunity came up to the organs in the body

This patient has been infected with worms from while in Vietnam, where the u.s. has a high infection rate, but not knowledge. And when the patient's immune system weakened by medication containing the substance to treat inflammatory diseases steriod artery giant cells (1 inflammatory diseases are rarely fatal), the patient's body becomes the ideal environment for the worms grow and penetrate into various organs in the body , which contains the lungs, causing the syndrome Increased pollution. When was this syndrome worming medications, then stop the "harassing" of them are without effect. According To TS. Niaz Banaei, faculty members of the UNIVERSITY's School of medicine infection disease Stanford, when was this syndrome, 80-90% patient deaths from hundreds of thousands of parasitic worms in the intestine carry bacteria will go "travel" throughout the body, causing the infection to the areas they are in. Also according to DR. Peter Hotez, Chairman of the Department of tropical medicine, Baylor Medical University, who also have the report with similar findings, given that this mortality case showed the importance of the need to perform tests for people who may be infected parasites before they used the drugs to cause inhibition of the immune system. "Need to think carefully before using high doses of steriods. However, the problem is that the doctors don't learn about this disease so often only realise the disease when it was too late ". DR. Hotez said. Parasitic worm Strongyloides stercoralis usually name common in the tropical and subtropical areas as well as in some regions of the United States. The worms usually live in soil or water, unsanitary condition. The species of this worm can penetrate into the body through the skin, living in the gut from several years to several decades, thanks to the birth of the larvae and develop into worms. An estimated 100 million people worldwide are infected with this worm type. The research results are published in the March 21 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine medicine.  =
