Definition
is a description applied to children whose
current weight or rate of weight gain is
significantly below that of other children ofsimilar age and sex.
height or weight less than the third to fifth
percentiles for age on more than one
occasion.

Failure to thrive
Infants or children that fail to thrive seem
to be dramatically smaller or shorter than
other children the same age.
Teenagers may have short stature or
appear to lack the usual changes that
occur at puberty.

Failure to thrive
In general, the rate of change in weight
and height may be more important than
the actual measurements.
It is important to determine whether failure
to thrive results from medical problems or
factors in the environment, such as abuse
or neglect.

Etiology of failure to
thrive Chromosome abnormalities, such as Down
syndrome and Turner syndrome
Abnormalities in the gastrointestinal system, whichmay result in malabsorption or absence of digestiveenzyme, resulting inadequate nutrition.
Abnormalities of the endocrine system, such as
growth hormone deficiency Damage to the brain or central nervous system,which may cause feeding difficulties

Parasitic infection and failure to thrive
Chronic parasitic infections may cause
disturbances on food absorption in the GItract system effecting the host nutrition.

Parasitic infection and failure to thrive
In general parasitic infections could be
divided into two classifications: helminthes
(metazoa) and protozoa
Helminthes:Ascaris lumbricoides, hook
worm
Protozoa: Giardia lamblia

Ascaris lumbricoides
Ascariasis is a disease caused by Ascarislumbricoides (round worm), which is the mostprevalent intestinal worm infection in the world.
The adult worm lives in the lumen of smallintestine
Eggs are found in the soil, infection occurs whena person accidentally ingests (swallow) infectiveeggs.

Ascariasis
Route of infection:
Children/Human become infected after
touching their mouth with their hands
contaminated with eggs from soil or othercontaminated surfaces

Life cycle ofA. lumbricoides
Human ingested embryonatedegg. In the stomach, larvaehatch from the eggs. and arecarried via the hepatic portalvein, then systemic circulation
to the lungs, mature in thelungs (10 -14 days), penetratethe alveolar walls, ascend thebronchial tree to the throat,and are swallowed.
Once swallowed, they reach the
intestines and develop intoadults worms. Adult female
worms lay eggs that are then
passed in feces; this cycle will
take between 2 3 months
Eggs are passed in the stool.
Unfertilized eggs may be ingested but
not infective.

Symptoms of ascariasis
Commonly infected persons: No symptoms
Immature worms enter the small intestine and
mature into adult worms.
- abdominal symptoms: abdominaldiscomfort-fullness, malabsorption.

Ascariasis
Complications:
Adult worms move to bile duct andinterfere the lipid digestion.
Heavy infection in children:
loss of appetite and insufficient absorption of
digested foods can occur as a large number
of parasites take nourishment from the hosts

Hookworm
Worms live in the small intestine by attaching to
the mucose via the buccal capsule.
Worms feed on host mucosa and blood.
Worms change position of attachment site every
4 6 hours in response to tissue depletion andor the onset of local inflammation.
(The blood is still coming out from the old attachment site for
several day)

Pathogenesis
The combination of constant blood loss due to
hookworm infection and poor iron intake in thediet results in iron deficiency anaemia.
The severity of iron-deficiency anemia
depends upon the species of hookworms inthe intestine (A. duodenale ingests 4-5 timesmore blood each day than N. americanus)

Hookworm
Heavy infection with hookworm can createserious health problems for newborns,
children, pregnant women, and persons
who are malnourished.

Symptoms
Heavy infection can cause anemia, abdominalpain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
When children are continuously infected by manyworms, the loss of iron and protein can retardgrowth and mental development, sometimesirreversibly.
Anaemia in Children can impair their educationalperformance.

Diagnosis
The examination of stool sample for the
presence of eggs is the most reliable
means of diagnosis.
The recommended procedure is the Kato-
Katz technique which is able to count the
number of eggs to determine intensity
of infection
Egg counts express as EPG (eggs per
gram of faeces)

Life cycle ofG.lamblia
Giardia lamblia exists in two forms, anactive form called a trophozoite, andan inactive form called a cyst. Theactive trophozoite attaches to thelining of the small intestine with asucker and is responsible forcausing the signs and symptoms ofgiardiasis. The trophozoite cannot live
long outside of the body, therefore itcannot spread the infection to others.The inactive cyst, on the other hand,can exist for prolonged periodsoutside the body. When it is ingested,stomach acid activates the cyst, andthe cyst develops into the disease-
causing trophozoite. It takes ingestionof only ten cysts to cause infection.Trophozoites are important not onlybecause they cause disease, theyalso produce cysts that exit the bodyin faeces and spread infection toothers.

Pathogenesis
Immunologic mechanisms may also play arole since individuals with decreased
gamma globulin levels have a higher
prevalence of infection and reinfection.
-

Clinical presentation
The clinical presentation of the disease is
influenced by the host's immune response to
the parasite and the parasite load in the
small intestine.
-
8/8/2019 08 Parasitologi
40/49
Symptoms
10-25 cysts are capable of causing clinical
disease.
Symptoms of giardiasis normally begin 1to 2 weeks (average 7 days) after
becoming infected.
-
8/8/2019 08 Parasitologi
41/49
Symptoms
Commonly no symptoms at all. Diarrhea:
Stools become malodorous, mushy, and greasy.
Watery diarrhea may alternate with soft stools or even
constipation. Flatulence
Steatorrhea
Stomach cramps
Nausea. These symptoms may lead to weight loss and
dehydration.
-
8/8/2019 08 Parasitologi
42/49
Symptoms
These symptoms may lead to weight loss.
Weight loss occurs in more than 50% of
patients and averages 10 pounds per person. Chronic illness may occur with adults
presenting with long-standing malabsorptionsyndrome and children with failure to thrive.
-

43/49
Symptoms
The disease is more prevalent in children.
The symptoms of giardiasis causedehydration due to diarrhea, therefore
drink plenty of fluids .

Laboratory examination
Stool examination
Trophozoites may be found in fresh, watery
stools. Cysts are passed in soft and formed stools.

Detection of trophozoites in duodenalfluid can be done by String test /Entero test.
