An outbreak of giardiasis was investigated in one urban day care center; another day care center was selected as a control. In the study day care center, 35 per cent of the children were infected. Infection was spread to at least one household contact of 47 per cent of the infected children. The data suggest person-to-person transmission of giardiasis and the need for measures to prevent its dissemination. Early recognition and treatment of Giardia lamblia infections in children may be indicated.
对一家城市日托中心的贾第虫病暴发进行了调查；另一家日托中心被选为对照。在研究的日托中心，35%的儿童受到感染。感染传播到了47%受感染儿童的至少一名家庭接触者。数据表明贾第虫病可通过人传人传播，且需要采取措施防止其传播。可能需要尽早识别和治疗儿童的蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫感染。
