Presentation

In this paper, the first structure of a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) from G. lamblia (GlCDK; UniProt A8BZ95) is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

He had recently traveled to Mexico for vacation and returned home one day before his hospital presentation. [cureus.com]

Presented as liquid in in phosphate buffered saline. For use in assay development and as an immunogen for antibody generation. [thenativeantigencompany.com]

Entire Body System

  • Inguinal Hernia

    CASE REPORT A 60-year-old male who usually smokes two packs of cigarrettes a day was operated on for inguinal hernia. He had been suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain for five months now. He had lost 9 kg of body weight. [scielo.isciii.es]

Gastrointestinal

  • Nausea

    Both assemblages caused similar illness, but assemblage AII was significantly more frequently associated with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, anorexia, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. [sharinginhealth.ca]

    Diarrhea is the major symptom of the disease but the clinical manifestations vary; from non-symptomatic infections to severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating and flatulence often accompanied by nausea and weight loss. [certest.es]

  • Abdominal Pain

    Salmonella symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, or fever emerge within a few hours after exposure and may last up to a week. [cureus.com]

    Half of patients are asymptomatic, and in the rest it can manifest as a malabsorption syndrome (diarrhea, abdominal pain, asthenia, and weight loss) (16,17). [scielo.isciii.es]

    Both assemblages caused similar illness, but assemblage AII was significantly more frequently associated with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Failure to Thrive

    Possible complications Failure to thrive (children) or malabsorption. [patient.info]

    In chronic giardiasis, symptoms are recurrent and can lead to failure to thrive, malabsorption and debilitation. return to top Diagnosis Giardiasis is diagnosed by the identification of cysts or trophozoites in the feces, using direct mounts as well as [sharinginhealth.ca]

    It can also be misdiagnosed as celiac disease or failure to thrive syndrome. Symptoms can last for two to three weeks, with gradual improvement. [innvista.com]

    Chronic giardiasis occasionally causes failure to thrive in children. [msdmanuals.com]

    In children there may be failure to thrive as a result of the prolonged infection. The epidemiology of Giardiasis has been strongly associated with overseas travelers and wilderness hikers. [dlslab.com]

Skin

  • Sweating

    Most common symptoms include: watery diarrhea, steatorrhea, colicky abdominal pain with weight loss in some cases, fever, and night sweats. Joint symptoms are the most common extraintestinal manifestations, occurring in 90% of patients (5). [scielo.isciii.es]

  • Night Sweats

    Most common symptoms include: watery diarrhea, steatorrhea, colicky abdominal pain with weight loss in some cases, fever, and night sweats. Joint symptoms are the most common extraintestinal manifestations, occurring in 90% of patients (5). [scielo.isciii.es]

Neurologic

  • Neurologic Manifestation

    Several cases in which neurological manifestations or arthropathy are the only symptoms have been described too (1,3,5). [scielo.isciii.es]

  • Personality Change

    The lungs, heart, and eyes may become affected, as well as thecentral nervous systemwith signs such as personality changes, dementia, memory disorder, myoclonus, ophtalmoplegia, and nystagmus (1). [scielo.isciii.es]

Workup

Serum

  • Thrombocytosis

    Regarding laboratory findings, hypochromic anemia, limphocytopenia, thrombocytosis, increased C-reactive protein levels, vitamin deficiency, or indirect signs of malabsorption are all possible (7). [scielo.isciii.es]

HLA Type

  • HLA-B27

    He was diagnosed with migratory arthritis following a palindromic pattern (RF, ANA, and HLA B27, all negative). He showed a poor nutritional condition. Cardio-pulmonary sounds were normal. [scielo.isciii.es]

The most effective drugs in the treatment of this infection are metronidazole and tinidazole. We report a case of G. lamblia infection. [elsevier.es]

Giardiasis treatment and management General points: In areas where there is contamination of the water supply the treatment of asymptomatic patients is of dubious value, as they will become re-infected.[10] Treatment is required where there are giardiasis [patient.info]

Etiology

Abstract Giardia lamblia is the etiologic agent of giardiasis, a water-borne infection that is prevalent throughout the world. The need for new therapeutics for the treatment of giardiasis is of paramount importance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intestinal protozoa are important etiological agents of diarrhea, particularly in children, yet the public health risk they pose is often neglected. [thenativeantigencompany.com]

The English and the French, especially, believed it to be the etiologic agent in many cases of "trench diarrhea." [jamanetwork.com]

Etiology Pathogen: Giardia lamblia; (also known as Giardia intestinalis or duodenalis), a protozoan [1] Transmission [2] Waterborne: from drinking recreational water (e.g., lakes, rivers, ponds, swimming pools) Swallowing cysts in contaminated water → [amboss.com]

Epidemiology

INTRODUCTION: Though giardiasis is an important public health problem in Ghana, several aspects of its epidemiology, particularly the molecular epidemiology has not been investigated adequately. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases: Giardia Lamblia Causal agent Giardia lamblia ( G. intestinalis, G. duodenalis ), a flagellate protozoan 1. [healthknowledge.org.uk]

Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology may arise from enzyme or active transport deficiencies, synergy with intestinal bacteria or an immunopathological process. Diagnosis is made by microscopic identification of cysts or trophozoites in small bowel samples or faeces. [karger.com]

Pathophysiology Life cycle ; [1][4] Mechanism [5] Although several theories exist, it is commonly suspected that infection with Giardia leads to impaired function and structure of intestinal tissue, resulting in malabsorption and diarrhea. [amboss.com]

The following algorithms are available in Special Instructions: -Parasitic Investigation of Stool Specimens Algorithm -Laboratory Testing for Infectious Causes of Diarrhea Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

The demonstration of antibodies is useful in epidemiological and pathophysiological studies. These tests cannot differentiate between recent and past infections and lack sensitivity and specificity. d. [microbenotes.com]
