To determine the frequency of giardiasis in patients undergoing upper G.I. endoscopy for dyspepsia and other upper G.I. disorders, duodenal aspirates were collected in 200 patients and simultaneous duodenal biopsies in 163 patients. Nine percent aspirates and 1.8% duodenal biopsies showed Giardia lamblia trophozoites. Giardia as a cause of dyspepsia should be considered in patients with negative endoscopy and in those who remain symptomatic inspite of adequate treatment for known upper G.I. disorders.
为确定因消化不良及其他上消化道疾病接受上消化道内镜检查的患者中贾第虫病的发病率,对200例患者采集十二指肠抽吸物,并对163例患者同时进行十二指肠活检。9%的抽吸物及1.8%的十二指肠活检显示有蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫滋养体。对于内镜检查结果为阴性的患者以及尽管对已知的上消化道疾病进行了充分治疗仍有症状的患者,应考虑贾第虫为消化不良的病因。
