What are the complications of filariasis?

summary

Because Trichiurus spiralis parasitic in the eye or subcutaneous tissue of a parasitic disease, the main symptom is eye damage, can lead to blindness. This disease can cause skin damage, eye damage, lymph node lesions, etc. in the skin, it is characterized by mild chronic inflammatory process, and elastic fiber reduction, atrophy and fibrosis in the later stage. It can form subcutaneous fibrous nodules with adult worms. The main pathological changes of lymph nodes were chronic inflammation. Chronic non granulomatous inflammatory changes are common in ocular tissues.

What are the complications of filariasis?

First: a parasitic disease caused by Trichinella spiralis parasitizing the eyes or subcutaneous tissue. After the occurrence of this disease, patients must pay attention to it, otherwise, it may cause eye damage or even blindness. This disease can cause skin damage, eye damage, lymph node lesions, etc.

Second: both adult and filariasis are the causes of discocercosis. The adult parasitizes at the junction of lymphatic vessels in subcutaneous tissue. The most basic lesions of the disease occur in the skin, lymph nodes and eye tissues. In the skin, it is a mild chronic inflammatory process, and elastic fibers decrease and fibrosis in the later stage.

Third: because subcutaneous fibrous nodules contain adult worms, pathological examination found that there are granuloma tissue, fibrous tissue, eosinophils, giant cells, plasma cells and other infiltration around the worm. The main pathological changes of lymph nodes were chronic inflammation. Chronic non granulomatous inflammatory changes are common in ocular tissues.
