If you familiarize yourself with the data of medical statistics, you can be horrified: 9 out of 10 people are carriers of organisms - parasites. Fortunately, most of them have created a successful symbiosis with Homo sapiens and do not harm it in any way.

But there are certain species, the infection of which is very dangerous, perhaps, even deadly. One of these species is pinworms. The analysis of enterobiosis, which is carried out in the form of scraping, helps to identify them.

What does the analysis of enterobiosis show?

An analysis for enterobiosis belongs to the group of barrier (screening), that is, it is prescribed to a person not according to indications, but without fail:

annually as part of the medical examination
after the holidays for schoolchildren and pupils of kindergartens
after a long absence of a child in a children's team (garden, school)
during hospitalization
when registering a medical book
before traveling to the sanatorium, camp, other preventive or wellness institution
for the pool

Analysis allows you to identify the presence of an adult or child of pinworms in the body.

Tips are one of the most widely known types of human parasites.

Tips are cramp round worms. They have a spindle-shaped shape, small size, whitish or light gray coloring. The females of these helminths are twice as many males, they are also distinguished by the presence of sharp tails
Tips can settle in the human body of any age. At risk, first of all, children of preschool and primary school age, who lead an active lifestyle, know the world, while often forget about personal hygiene rules. Often, kids who get acquainted with objects, trying them to taste
Most often, enterobiosis is picked up when in contact with an infected person
Parasites - pathogens of enterobiosis live in a person’s intestines (upper part of the thick, lower section of the thin, cecum). Their life is about 5 weeks. Moreover, only females live for so long. Males die immediately after fertilization and evacuated from the body during an act of defecation
There is no oxygen in the intestines of a person, so there are no conditions for laying eggs of eggs. In order to continue the family, females of parasites crawl out. They lay eggs on the skin around the anus and in the genital area. Females die after that
A few hours after that, a person begins to feel itching. If it itches, it leaves in hand, drives a huge number of capsules under the nails with already viable and mobile larvae of parasites. He can infect himself or the people around him. Larvae also remain on his underwear, bed, towels, as well as to everything that he touched with dirty hands
It is known that tens and hundreds of cutters can live in the human body at the same time

Tearing the eggs of pinworms from the oral folds to the mouth, a person infects himself with enterobiosis. — man infects himself with enterobiosis.

IMPORTANT: Usually, the egg cutters are off at night, when a person lies, and his anal sphincter is as relaxed as possible. In a dream, a person does not control his actions poorly, suppresses itching with combing and constantly selflessly self -extinguished by enterobiosis

Parasites are usually very tenacious. So are the eggs of pinworms, which are racks to the conditions of the external environment, on the skin, bed, linen, and household items can remain vitality of days and weeks.

The worms of this species are dangerous in that, sucking in the walls of the intestines, they cause:

its inflammation, create a gate to penetrate infection
digestive disorders
dysbiosis

In addition, in the process of the life of the cutter, toxic products of metabolism are produced, the poisoning of which is most dangerous for children and expectant mothers.

From the presence of parasites in the body, the human nervous and immune systems also suffer.

Important: manifestations of enterobiosis are digestive disorder and itching in the anus. An infected person can also complain about abdominal pain, sleep disturbance, deterioration, weakness, sharp loss of weight

Itching in the anus is a symptom of enterobiosis.

Today, many are trying to get around the unpleasant procedure for taking a scraping, buying its negative result. In particular, children who cry during it do not have a scraping, although the analysis is absolutely painless.

Such a fraud of results is very dangerous, because the longer the worms in the host’s body, the more difficult it is to bring them out. At stake, the health of himself and everyone who communicates with him.

Calais analysis for enterobiosis

The analysis of feces for screening is handed over in order to confirm the absence of helminths in it or the presence of eggs.

A healthy person should not have them. In the case of a positive result, eggs of such parasites are revealed:
Nematode

askaride
bicom (liver, cat, lanceolate)
chain
lancets

Since the pinworms in the intestines do not multiply, their eggs with feces do not stand out, a separate analysis is carried out to identify them in the human body - scraping.

The analysis of feces is taken to identify eggs of other worms, but not pinworms.

Scraping to enterobiosis: what does it show?

The result of a scraping can be:

Positive. This means that the skin of cuts are present on the skin. The presence of them in the human body does not exclude the presence of worms of other types
Negative. Parasite eggs were not found. Unfortunately, this does not mean that a person is “clean”. Perhaps the pinworms at the time of taking the scraping simply did not have time to lay the eggs

Preparation for analysis for enterobiosis

Ideally, analysis for enterobiosis is presented:

in the morning
soon after waking up
to the act of bowel movements
before washing

Important: ideally, you need to take a scraping right in bed, then its result will be the most informative. Unfortunately, the analysis is often carried out in clinics where you need to go or go. Before his capture, adults, especially the children, were already going to the toilet and managed to “wipe” the eggs of pinworms with underwear. This makes it difficult to diagnose enterobiosis

Scraping for enterobiosis: how do they take from children and adults? Algorithm

There are two ways to take analysis on the eggs of the pinworms:

with a cotton swab (for adults)
with the help of a sticky tape (for children)

Adult procedure algorithm:

On the eve of the analysis, a doctor or nurse explains his essence, tell how to prepare for him
The patient is given a referral for analysis
In the due time, the patient arrives at the laboratory
The nurse puts on sterile gloves and takes a swab dipped in glycerin. This swab, by the way, can ask the patient to bring with him
The patient stands or lies on his side
The nurse extends the patient's buttocks and the tampon makes scraping from the folds around the anus
The swab is placed in a test tube and sent to the laboratory

A tampon with a transport environment for a scraping for enterobiosis.

The algorithm for taking a scraping from a child:

The parents of the child, and if he is grown up, and himself, the pediatrician explains the essence of the procedure
The direction is issued
In the laboratory, in the reception time, the child is laid on the side. If he is small, mom can hold him in her arms face to herself
The nurse puts on gloves, prepares a piece of glass and a piece of adhesive tape
The nurse spreads the buttocks of the child and glues the tape to the folds around the anus of the child
After a few seconds, she removes the tape and sticks it to the object glass evenly, without bubbles and folds

Important: although it is unpleasant to take an analysis for eggs of the cutters so that its results are most truthful, the procedure is advised to repeat at least three times

How many days is the analysis of enterobiosis done?

As a rule, the result of scraping can be obtained in the morning of the next day after its capture:

The analysis is taken in the morning, most often, from 8.00 to 10.00
During this time, materials are stored in the refrigerator at a temperature not exceeding 8 degrees
After the reception, the nurse sends the collected materials to the laboratory
Laboratory assistants conduct direct microscopic studies and give out the results of the tests

Object eggs are detected under a microscope in a matter of minutes.

Important: in fact, the analysis of the eggs of pinworms from laboratory assistants takes minutes. In some paid laboratories, its results can be obtained 15-30 minutes after taking the scraping. In state clinics, they also often “agree” so that the result is ready on the same day

Scraping to enterobiosis: where to hand over?

Scraping to the eggs of pinworms can be handed over:

in the laboratory of the clinic of the nursery, adult
in the laboratory of the hospital, hospital, maternity hospital
in any private laboratory

Enterobiosis analysis for the pool

To go to the pool, child and adult, in addition to the certificate that there are no contraindications to swimming, it is necessary to bring the results of the analysis for enterobiosis.

Important: in terms of the possibility of infection with parasites and infections, the pool is a place of increased danger. If his administration does not demand to take a scraping, you need to be wary

Validity periods for enterobiosis and inquiries for the pool

The result of the analysis for pinworms is short -term. It is necessary not to miss the deadlines, otherwise it will have to be redone.

To visit the pool children, you need to take a scraping.

Important: as a rule, the validity of the scraping for the pool is 10 days, for kindergarten, school, sanatorium, so on - 3 days

How to do an analysis for enterobiosis at home?

Sometimes it is allowed to take an analysis for eggs of pinworms from yourself. For this, you do not need to have special skills.

It is necessary to prepare adhesive tape or disposable swab with a transport environment in advance, gloves and object glass (it is in gynecological sets). All this is located on the bedside table to carry out the procedure immediately by awakening
After waking up, put gloves, lying on the side or raising their left hand, pushing the buttocks, the right is scheduled
If you use adhesive tape, it is glued to the item, and then wrapped with clean paper
Deliver analysis materials to the laboratory
