OBJECTIVE
To create awareness that giardiasis can mimic acute clinical symptomatologies and result in missed diagnosis.
METHODS
The case files of four acute and life threatening presentations that were misdiagnosed initially but later found to be Giardia lamblia infestations from laboratory stool
The circulating anti-parasite antibody response against Giardia lamblia in symptomatic and asymptomatic Egyptian children with confirmed giardiasis was examined. Symptomatic patients were identified using the following criteria: presence of only G. lamblia cysts in the feces, and one or more of the
During the period from March through November 1989, 70 children who were attended at the Pediatric Department at Central Hospital in Valencia, were enrolled in the study, it was thought that Giardia lamblia infection might be present. Giardia L. were identified using two different diagnostic
The main symptoms of infection with Giardia intestinalis in 33 Sudanese adults were abdominal pain, flatulence and diarrhoea. Other symptoms were offensive stools, loss of weight, milk intolerance, mucoid stools, nausea and vomiting. Tinidazole given orally as 150 mg. twice daily dose for seven days
Giardia lamblia (G. lamblia) is the most worldwide prevailing intestinal parasite, notorious for its broad range of seasonal and age-related prevalence. The potentially lethal nature of giardiasis makes it essential that the seasonality, the groups at risk, and other potential risk factors are
Background
Giardia duodenalis is the most common intestinal pathogenic protozoan infection reported in humans. Both in vitro studies and 4 separate, sequential, comparative clinical trials conducted by our group in Cuba demonstrated mebendazole activity against
G.Giardiasis is a disease with worldwide distribution, although its prevalence differs from country to country. In order to investigate the clinical pattern of giardiasis in in-patient children, a case-control study was carried out. In-patient children who had Giardia lamblia infection were compared
One hundred children suffering from symptomatic giardiasis were treated with either tinidazole or metronidazole in random order. Both the drugs were given as a single oral dose calculated on the basis of 50 mg/kg body weight. Parasitological and clinical cure was obtained in 40 (80%) of 50 patients
Giardia intestinalis infection causes enterocytes damage and loss of brush border of the epithelial cells of the intestine that leads in shortening of microvilli and altered epithelial barrier function. This pathology curses with aqueous diarrhoea, steatorrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and
The percentage of Giardia infection in dogs and cats with gastrointestinal signs presenting to clinics was examined across Europe using the IDEXX SNAP Giardia Test (IDEXX Laboratories). Veterinary practices were asked to identify diarrheic and/or vomiting dogs and cats and to use the test on fecal
Giardia lamblia cysts isolated from human faeces in South of Iran were analyzed with PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay, based on the detection of glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) genes. Among 205 faecal samples from microscopically diagnosed giardiasis patients, the gdh gene was
BACKGROUND
Giardia duodenalis is an intestinal flagellated protozoan that affects many mammalian species often causing severe diarrheal disease. Several different genotypes have been identified (Assemblages A-G). Most isolates recovered from domestic cats have been assigned to either Assemblage A,
BACKGROUND
A surprisingly low number of children became ill with giardiasis during the large waterborne outbreak of Giardia lamblia in Bergen, Norway during autumn 2004. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of giardiasis among exposed children one year after an outbreak and
A study was made of the HLA in 41 children between the ages of 4 and 13 years, with the parasite Giardia lamblia, of ages between 4 and 13 years. The different histocompatibility antigens were compared in relationship to the clinical and analytical aspects of the patients. Individuals with HLA A1
