Opisthorchiasis - what does this mean

Opisthorchiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the ingestion of raw or undercooked fish containing the larvae of the opisthorchis felineus or opisthorchis viverrini flukes. these larvae then migrate to the bile ducts and liver, where they mature and lay eggs that are passed in the feces and can be ingested by another host.

What happens during the disease - opisthorchiasis

Характер и выраженность патологических процессов, характеризующих течение описторхоза, зависят от массивности и длительности инвазии, состояния иммунной системы. В зависимости от этих факторов течение описторхоза может быть стертым или манифестным; легким, среднетяжелым и тяжелым. В патогенезе описторхоза выделяют раннюю (острую) и позднюю (хроническую) стадии.

 

В острой стадии гельминтоза доминируют токсико-аллергические реакции, развивающиеся в ответ на действие метаболитов паразитов на организм хозяина. Они сопровождаются повышением проницаемости сосудистой стенки, периваскулярным отеком и эозинофильной инфильтрацией стромы различных органов, образованием некротических очагов в паренхиме печени. Повреждение сосальщиками эпителия желчных протоков вызывает гиперплазию бокаловидных клеток, кистозное расширение мелких желчных ходов. При хроническом описторхозе в стенках желчных протоков развивается вялотекущее воспаление, выявляется разрастание соединительной ткани, нередко возникает закупорка гельминтами мелких желчных протоков.

 

Данные процессы приводят к развитию вторичного бактериального холангита, дискинезии желчевыводящих путей, образованию желчных камней, в тяжелых случаях – к циррозу печени и портальной гипертензии. Поражения поджелудочной железы при описторхозе определяются, главным образом, отеком железы и нарушением оттока панкреатического секрета, что сопровождается кистевидным расширением канальцев, пролиферативным каналикулитом и фиброзом органа.
