Eight pediatric patients with presenting symptoms of chronic diarrhea, abdominal cramps, weight loss, and/or recurrent emesis were diagnosed as having giardiasis by duodenal brush cytology. All patients had at least three stool specimens examined for ova and parasites, which failed to reveal Giardia lamblia cysts or trophozoites. In each patient, the small intestinal mucosal biopsies as well failed to reveal giardia. No complications were encountered during any of the procedures. Duodenal brush cytology for giardiasis appears to be a valuable diagnostic adjunct potentially superior to stool examination as well as endoscopic grasp small bowel biopsy.
8例以慢性腹泻、腹部绞痛、体重减轻和/或反复呕吐为症状的儿科患者经十二指肠刷检细胞学诊断为贾第虫病。所有患者至少有三份粪便标本进行了虫卵和寄生虫检查，均未发现蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫囊肿或滋养体。每位患者的小肠黏膜活检也未发现贾第虫。在任何操作过程中均未出现并发症。十二指肠刷检细胞学检查对贾第虫病似乎是一种有价值的诊断辅助手段，可能优于粪便检查以及内镜下小肠活检。
