The complete line of baby care (babypflege) products also includes diaper creams, cleansing oils, wipes, baby powders and protective creams for bad weather.
Foams and gels for bathing should keep a protective layer of the skin, should not dry it and have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic properties. Read the rest of this entry »
Trichuriasis is an infection of the large intestine with Trichuris trichiura, sometimes known as whipworm. Distribution is worldwide, but most infections occur in the tropics and subtropics. Eggs are excreted in the faeces and can remain viable in the soil for extended periods.
Under optimum conditions the eggs become infective in about 2 to 4 weeks. After ingestion, larvae are released from the eggs and develop within the wall of the small intestine for about 3 to 10 days, before migrating to the lumen of the large intestine where they remain attached to the mucosal lining.

Trichinosis (trichinellosis) is an infection caused by Trichinella spiralis. Man becomes infected through ingestion of raw or undercooked meat, usually pork, containing infective larvae. The larvae mature into adult worms in the small intestine and the mature females deposit larvae which migrate in the blood to skeletal muscle and sometimes to the myocardium. Symptoms usually occur only in heavy infections.
Invasion of the intestines by the maturing adult worms can cause diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and vomiting followed about a week later by hypersensitivity reactions to the migrating larvae. These may include eosinophilia, fever, muscle pain, periorbital oedema and, more rarely, encephalitis, myocarditis, or pneumonia which may be fatal.

Toxocariasis is infection with the larval form of Toxocara canis or, less commonly, T. cati. The adult worms live in the intestines of dogs and cats respectively, and man becomes infected when eggs excreted in animal faeces are ingested.
Once ingested the eggs hatch and the larvae migrate from the intestine to other organs, most commonly the liver, lung, and eye. Most infections are asymptomatic but two clinical syndromes, ocular larva migrans and visceral larva migrans, can occur, usually in children.
