Introduction to Medical Protozoology
Protozoa - are single-celled eukaryotes that are tiny and independent Complete all physiological functions of life activities. Can only be seen with the help of a light microscope Medical protozoa - pathogenic or parasitic parasites that live in human body lumens, body fluids, tissues or cells. Non-pathogenic protozoa.
1. Classification of protozoa: According to the presence and type of motor organelles: Amorphous pseudopodia: Entamoeba: Entamoeba histolytica Elongated flagella: Giardia: Trichomonas vaginalis, Giardia lamblia, Leishmania donovani short, dense cilia: ciliates Non-motile organelles: Sporaria: Plasmodium; Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium
According to the mode of transmission of medical protozoa, the life history of protozoa is divided into three types: 1. Human-to-human transmission type: the life history only requires one kind of host (human), and its trophozoites or cysts The cyst is spread among humans through direct or indirect contact or through intermediaries. Such as: Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia 2. Insect-borne type: To complete the life cycle, it needs to develop into the infectious stage in the insect body, and then Transmitted by insect vector bites. For example: Leishmania donovani is transmitted by sandfly bites, and Plasmodium is transmitted by Anopheles mosquito bites. Circular transmission type: Two or more vertebrate animals are required to complete the life cycle as the final host and intermediate host, and transmission occurs between the two. like: Toxoplasma gondii
4. Pathogenic characteristics of protozoa 1. Proliferation effect: reaching a certain amount 2. Spreading ability: the ability to spread from the primary lesion to adjacent or distant tissues 3. Toxic effects: secretions, excretions, disintegration of dead insects 4. Opportunistic diseases: latent infection
Medical protozoology
Leaf-footed insect
Entamoeba histolytica (Enamoeba dysenteriae)
Morphology
trophozoite The shape is changeable and irregular. It often extends a pseudopod for directional movement and has a vesicular core. Trophozoites in tissues contain red blood cells, but trophozoites in the intestine do not
cyst It is spherical in shape, with a vesicular nucleus. Rod-shaped pseudochromosomes with blunt and rounded ends can be seen in the cytoplasm, and the glycogen vesicles are vacuolated. After staining with iodine solution, the cyst is light yellow, the nuclear membrane and nucleolus are light brown, and the pseudochromosome is not stained. Immature cysts have 1 to 2 nuclei Mature cysts have 4 nuclei, and glycogen vesicles and pseudochromosomes disappear.
life history
Basic stages: cyst - trophozoite - cyst
The cyst is ingested into the small intestine, and under the action of alkaline environment and digestive enzymes, it forms the late stage of the cyst. After the 4-nucleated amoeba excysts, it splits into 8 trophozoites. The upper part of the colon continues to proliferate by binary fission. It migrates to the transverse colon and forms a cyst, which divides to form a four-nucleated cyst and is expelled. Under pathological conditions, trophozoites can invade the intestinal mucosa and cause ulcers.
Parasite site: ileocecal part, colon Infectious period: four-core cyst Route of infection: Oral infection
Pathogenic
1. Pathological characteristics: A. Intestinal wall lesions: small mouth and large flask-shaped ulcer B. Common sites: cecum, appendix, sigmoid colon and ascending colon C. Invasion of extraintestinal tissues and organs: liver, lungs, brain, skin and other tissues

acute phase Diarrhea, blood and mucus in the stool, jam color, strange smell Intestinal perforation, bacterial peritonitis
Chronic phase persistent enteritis
Extraintestinal amoebiasis
Amebic liver cyst (most common) Most of them are young men, and chocolate sauce-like pus can be seen in liver puncture abscesses.
amebic lung abscess

life history
Parasite site: monocyte macrophage Infectious stage: Promastigotes in the beak of the sandfly Route of infection: Female sandflies are infected through skin bites
Pathogenic
Visceral leishmaniasis
fever Swelling of liver, spleen, and lymph nodes - amastigotes multiply within macrophages, causing massive destruction and proliferation of macrophages Anemia - hypersplenism, a large number of blood cells are destroyed in the spleen, resulting in a decrease in red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets; immune hemolysis is also an important cause Common complications - due to systemic blood cell reduction and impaired immune function, acute agranulocytosis and infectious diseases can occur
nodal visceral leishmaniasis
The disease is limited to lymph nodes and most can heal spontaneously
Cutaneous leishmaniasis
Papules, plaques, ulcers and nodular prurigo with long course

Giardia lamblia
Pathogenic and parasitic sites
It mainly parasitizes the duodenum and upper small intestine of the human body, causing digestive tract disorders. A series of symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, malabsorption, etc. Because of traveling The incidence rate is higher among patients, so it is also called "tourist's diarrhea".
life history
Mature tetranuclear cysts enter the human duodenum and excyst into two trophozoites. The trophozoites mainly parasitize in the duodenum or jejunum. They can occasionally enter the gallbladder or other parts and proliferate by longitudinal binary fission. Beavers, cattle, sheep, and dogs are safe hosts for the insect

Parasitic sites and caused diseases
There are four types of malaria commonly known as "Diabozi" that parasitize the human body.
Plasmodium vivax
Attack once every 48 hours
Plasmodium falciparum
Attack once every 36-48 hours
Plasmodium malariae
Attack once every 72 hours
Plasmodium ovale
Attack once every 48 hours
Extra-erythrocytic phase (infrared phase): parasitic in human liver cells Intraerythrocytic phase (intraerythrocytic phase): parasite in the red blood cells of the human body It mainly parasitizes in red blood cells and causes malaria: the typical clinical manifestations are three stages of periodic chills, fever and sweating.
form
The morphology of Plasmodium vivax in human peripheral blood: (six forms in three periods) Trophozoite stage: small and large trophozoites Schizont stage: early schizont and late schizont Gametophyte stage: female gametophyte and male gametophyte
Plasmodium vivax morphology in peripheral blood
intraerythrocytic phase
Small trophozoite (Gee stain)
large trophozoite Irregular shape Xue's snacks There are vacuoles in the cytoplasm
gametophyte formation Female - the nucleus is dark red, without vacuoles, the nucleus is dense, and the nucleus is on one side Male - smaller, lighter staining, central nucleus Density is the most important feature
The morphology of Plasmodium falciparum in human peripheral blood: (Three forms in two periods) Trophozoite stage: ring body Gametophyte stage: female gametophyte and male gametophyte
Plasmodium falciparum in peripheral blood
Trophozoite stage: ring body Ring-shaped, accounting for 1/4 to 1/5 of red blood cells. There are often more than 2 parasites in one red blood cell.
gametophyte stage Male - the core is loose and sausage-shaped Female - dense nucleus, crescent-shaped
life history
1. The phenomenon of generational change 2. Infectious period: sporozoites in the salivary glands of female mosquitoes; Route of infection: skin infection through female mosquito bites 3. The intermediate host is human; the final host is mosquito. 4. Four types of malaria parasites parasitize red blood cells at different stages of development. Plasmodium vivax and malaria ovale mainly parasitize reticulocytes; malaria malariae mostly parasitizes older red blood cells; malaria falciparum can parasitize red blood cells of all stages. 5. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium malariae are dormant
Pathogenic
incubation period
Falciparum malaria 7 to 27 days Malaria malaria takes 18 to 35 days Malaria ovale 11 to 16 days vivax malaria 11 to 25 days
Malaria attack: caused by the schizophrenia proliferation of intraerythrozoic Plasmodium. Clinical manifestations: There are three consecutive stages of periodic chills, fever, and sweating and fever reduction. 48 hours for vivax and ovale malaria, Plasmodium falciparum 36~48h, Malaria malaria attacks once every 72 hours.
3. Reignition and recurrence: P67 Re-ignition - after the initial episode of malaria has stopped, if the patient is not reinfected, only a small amount of remaining intraerythrozoic Plasmodium parasites in the body will reproduce in large numbers under certain conditions and cause another episode of malaria, which is called~ Relapse - after the initial malaria attack has stopped, the intraerythrocytic Plasmodium has been eliminated, but the liver has not been cleared, and the late-onset parasites have not been infected by mosquito vectors. However, after several weeks to more than a year, another malaria attack occurs, which is called~
Note: The presence of delayed sporozoites is the root cause of malaria recurrence; P. malariae and Plasmodium malariae do not have delayed sporozoites, so there is no recurrence, only rekindling.
