Xiao Zhang (pseudonym), a 24-year-old man from Guangzhou, Guangdong, mainland China, developed numbness in his right hand and foot when he was 11 years old. After examination, he was found to have a parasite called “sparganum” in his brain. Then his family took him around for help. After 13 years of medical treatment, during this period, Xiao Zhang suffered from hemiplegia of hands and feet and decreased language ability due to the parasite of sparganosis, and was identified as a second-level disability.
according to《Diagnostic Newspaper》According to a report by the Beijing News, Xiao Zhang developed paralysis of his right hand and foot when he was 11 years old. After examination, he was diagnosed with “sparganum” in the brain, which meant that he had a parasite growing in his head. For the next 13 years, his family took him to seek medical treatment, but at the same time, the sparganism also wandered in his brain for a long time, resulting in Xiao Zhang’s right hand and foot hemiplegia, and his language ability decreased. He was identified as a second-level disability.
Afterwards, they went to Guangzhou for medical treatment. After examination, the doctor found that the live parasite had migrated to the relatively shallow area of Xiao Zhang’s brain. Therefore, following a 7-hour operation, the 10-centimeter piece that had troubled Xiao Zhang for more than 10 years was finally removed. The adult larvae were captured alive. On the second day following the operation, Xiao Zhang was finally able to get out of bed and walk.
The adults of sparganosis often parasitize in the intestines of cats, dogs and other animals. The eggs excreted by this worm come out of the body along with the feces, and hatch larvae in the water. The larvae are swallowed by water fleas and develop into procercariae. After the water flea is swallowed by the tadpole, the tadpole develops into a frog, and the protocercariae also develop into a sparganum. In addition, spargania have a strong ability to contract and move, and often migrate to the muscles of frogs, especially like to live in the leg muscles of frogs. In addition to cats and dogs, the ultimate hosts also include cats such as tigers, leopards, foxes, lions and leopards. Therefore, the report also reminds that sparganosis may enter the human body through the following ways, including: eating undercooked frog meat or snake meat, drinking raw water, or not separating raw and cooked vegetables on the cutting board.
