Rezumat

Introduction. Parasitic arthritis is associated with infestation of the patient’s body of parasitic species of worms and protozoan microorganisms. Now it has been established that parasitic arthritis can be caused by almost any species of these creatures. The objective of the study was to research the clinical-evolutionary features of cases of parasitic infections associated with damage of the osteo-articular system in helminthic pathologies. Materials and methods. 161 patients were included in the study, which were divided into 3 groups of differentiated observation by the pathogen of infestation and the clinical variant of parasitic arthritis. The first group (97 patients) consisted of patients with parasitic arthritis associated with echinococcosis infestation, the 2nd (31 patients) – patients with parasitic arthritis associated with Toxocara canis and the 3rd (33 patients) included subjects with parasitic arthritis associated with of Giardia lamblia infestation. Results and discussion. Echinococcosis was manifested more often by the axial (65.67%) and peripheral (31.34%) clinical forms, while the mixed form was being extremely rare (2.98%) (p < 0.001). The power of connection with the type of arthritis has reached the degree of statistical significance (p < 0.001). Parasitic arthritis due to Toxocara canis showed an overwhelming predominance of peripheral forms of joint syndrome (70.96%), with an insignificant share of axial (12.9%) and mixed form (16.13%) (p < 0.01), with a connection to the peripheral form of parasitic arthritis (p < 0.01). The clinically developed form of parasitosis caused by Giardia lamblia manifested a predominantly mixed joint syndrome (57.89%), confirming a predominantly peripheral impairment (36.84%) of the axial (5%) with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), as well as a connection for the mixed-peripheral form of parasitic arthritis (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Parasitic arthritis is characterized by the diversity of clinical joint manifestations, which fall into 3 clinical variants: induced by infestation with Echinococcus, Toxocara canis and Giardia lamblia, among which giardiasis correlates with a more severe clinical course, followed by echinococcosis and toxocariasis. Despite a large number of painful and inflamed joints that are also associated with an advanced radiological stage of joint damage, parasitic arthritis is characterized by a comparatively diminished articular painful syndrome.
