Helmintic Infections
M1 Infectious Diseases Sequence Vernon Carruthers
Cary Engleberg
Spring 2009
Infection vs. disease
• successful parasites live in, but do not kill their hosts
• protozoa multiply within hosts expression of disease depends on host
factors • helminths do not multiply within hosts
severity of disease depends on parasite burden and immunologic response to parasites
3
Helminth forms
Egg
Cyst
Larva
Adults 4
C. Engleberg/V. Carruthers
Helminth modes of entry
• Ingestion (eggs or cysts) • Arthropod bites (larvae) • Penetration of intact skin or
mucous membranes (larvae)
5
Spread and tropisms
• Some parasites must migrate to certain locations within the host in order to complete their life cycle
• Non-human parasites, in humans, often fail to migrate properly and become “dead-end infections”
6
7
Cary Engleberg
Mechanisms for evading the host response
• antigenic variation - trypanosomes, malaria, giardia
• intracellular infection - malaria, toxoplasma • encystation* - Toxoplasma, cestodes • camouflage - schistosomes • cleavage of ABs or C’ components - amoebae,
leishmania • suppression/redirection of the cellular immune
response - malaria, leishmania, schistosomes
* “cyst” has multiple meanings 8
Tissue damage and host response
• direct destruction of tissue • hypersensitivity reactions • eosinophila
– occurs with helminths, not protozoa – results from tissue migration
9
Classification of helminths
Nematodes (roundworms)
Platyhelminthes (flatworms)
Trematodes (“flukes”)
Cestodes (“tapeworms”)
10 C. Engleberg/V. Carruthers
Helmintic diseases • Intestinal
– Others – Strongyloides
• Invasive – Trichinosis – Filaria – Schistosomiasis
– Cysticercosis – Echinococcus
(autoinfection cycle)
(muscle pain, uncooked carnivores) (worms in lymphatics or under skin)
(liver or urinary tract granulomas and fibrosis)
(cysts in brain, seizures) (massive cysts in liver or lung)
roundworms
flukes
tapeworms
11
Intestinal nematodes
Larvae pass through lungs
Larvae penetrate through intact skin
strongyloides hookworm
Eggs ingested
Trichiuris (whipworm) Enterobius (pinworm)
Larvae enter bloodstream
ascaris
Adult worms in the the intestine
Eggs
Larvae hatch from eggs
12 C. Engleberg/V. Carruthers
Strongyloides life cycle Adult worms in the the intestine
Eggs
1st stage larvae hatch from eggs
Larvae penetrate through intact skin
Larvae enter bloodstream
Larvae pass through lungs
Larvae molt twice to form filariform larvae (infectious)
Autoinfection
13 C. Engleberg/V. Carruthers
14
Source Undetermined
Strongyloides - clinical features
• uncomplicated – GI upset
• autoinfection • hyperinfection
– rash – bronchspasm, chest X-ray infiltrates – diarrhea – profound eosinophilia – recurrent Gram-negative bacteremia
15
Trichinosis
16
Trichinella spiralis - life cycle
• “cycle of carnivorism” among hogs and rats • humans ingest encysted larvae in infected,
undercooked pork • larvae exist in stomach and burrow into small
intestinal mucosa • adult males and female reemerge and produce
larvae which penetrate intestine and circulate in bloodstream
• larvae enter skeletal muscle cells and encyst

Clinical features of trichinosis
• Most common sxs: – muscle pain and tenderness – fever +/- chills – edema (often periorbital)
• >10% eosinophilia (often ~50%) • elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) • +/- chronic neurologic/myocardial sxs • self-limited (2% mortality)
20
Treatment of trichinosis
• antihelmintic (albendazole) to kill any intestinal adults
• steroids to relieve inflammatory reactions
• antipyretics
21
Filaria
22
Life cycles of two types of filaria
Arthropod vector
Adult worm pairs
Larvae (microfilariae)
Lymph- mosquitoes peripheral circulate dwelling lymphatics in bloodstream (e.g, Wuchereria bancroftii )
Skin- biting flies skin nodules migrate through dwelling or migratory dermis
23
Microfiliaria found in the blood of lymph dwelling species

Role of endosymbiont Wohlbachia sp. in filiaria infection
• Rickettsia-like organisms required for fecundity and viability of filaria
• Wohlbachia-free worms produce less inflammation in tissue (? LPS)
• Implications for rx: – ivermectin kills microfilaria only – tetracycline may destroy adult worms

Events following cercarial penetration 1. Larva migrate to lungs and develop as “schistosomulae” (this may trigger a self-limited febrile illness).
2. Male and female schistomulae migrate to the abdominal venules: I. Superior mesenteric (S. japonicum) II. Inferior mesenteric (S. mansoni) III. Bladder plexus (S. hematobium)
3. Males and females pair off and egg production begins
4. Eggs migrate out of the body through visceral organs or become trapped and die in tissues.

Schistosomiasis - pathogenesis
• egg granuloma (type IV reaction)--> fibrosis • morbidity ~ worm (egg) burden • concomitant immunity to schistosomula • adult worms: invisible to the immune
system (survive for years)
48
Schistosomiasis- clinical features
• Cercarial dermatitis • Intestinal schistosomiasis (granulomas -->
polyps, protein loss, malabsorption, strictures) • Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (portal
hypertension --> ascites, varices, splenomegaly, normal hepatic function)
• Urinary schistosomiasis (hematuria, chronic infection, obstruction)
• Other (cardiopulmonary, CNS, etc.)
49
Drug treatment of schistosomiasis
• Praziquantel increases permeability of adult parasite to Ca++.
• Tetanospasm --> death
50
Cestode infections
51
Tapeworms
• Definitive hosts: harbor adult worms • Intermediate hosts: harbor tissue cysts
(containing worm heads) • Humans acquire infection two ways:
– ingestion of eggs from feces (to acquire tissue cysts)
– ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat (to acquire a tapeworm)
= Intermediate host = Definitive host
