The Lancet, 1977
Recently acquired giardiasis was suspected in 199 patients because of typical symptoms following a trip to a known endemic area. In 130 cases giardiasis was confirmed by stool examination, although most of the samples obtained less than 3 wk after probable infection were negative for Giardia lamblia.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985
Giardia sp infection was believed responsible for chronic, intermittent diarrhea in a group of 14 Persian cats. Seven of the cats were shedding Giardia sp cysts, and 6 of these cats had diarrhea at the time of fecal examination. Conversely, only 1 of 6 clinically normal cats in the group was shedding Giardia sp cysts.

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1975
Giardiasis is still regularly encountered in the United States, both as endemic cases from the local community as well as in patients returning from travel abroad. Giardiasis should be suspected in any child with steatorrhea, unexplained chronic diarrhea (especially if associated with growth failure), weight loss, or abdominal pain and bloating ...

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1980
Giardiasis is the most prevalent intestinal parasitic disease in the United States. Most cases can be diagnosed by a single stool examination. However, in periodic cyst excretors, cysts may not be detected unless repeated stool examinations are performed.

M.P. Sharma, D.M., and S.K. Acharya, M.D. Giardia, first recognized by Von Leeu- wen hoeok 300years ago in his own stool? remains an enigma as yet. It's pathogenesis in causing disease is com- p'lex and unclear, though manifestation in human beings as asymptomatic cyst passers to frank malabsorption is well known.

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1961
Giardiasis is caused by a protozoan flagellate, Giardia lamblia. Although Barraquer 1 associated this organism with certain lesions of the eye in 1938, there have been few reports since that time. Braley and Hamilton 2 in 1956 associated another protozoan, Entamoeba histolytica with macular lesions of the eye. A similar case was reported by us.

Tinidazole is the first-line drug treatment of giardiasis, as it requires only a single dose to cure infection in most individuals. The related drug metronidazole is as effective, but it requires 5 to 7 days of three times a day therapy. Nitazoxanide appears in limited studies to be as effective as tinidazole or metronidazole, and it does not have the ...
