Summary:Giardiasis is one of the most common parasitic invasions. Parasitizing the intestine, Giardia disrupt the structure and function of the small intestine, leading to recurrent or persistent clinical manifestations, as a rule, combining pain, dyspeptic and asthenoneurotic symptoms. Signs are similar to those of other variants of the pathology of gastroduodenal zone, intestine, biliary passages that makes clinical diagnosis almost impossible. A rational use of available diagnostic tests, as well as a strict adherence to the approved recommendations for giardiasis treatment in children allows to avoid the disease overdiagnosis and to increase therapy efficiency.
