贾第虫病的管理

Am Fam Physician. 1985 Nov;32(5):157-64.

Giardia lamblia is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in the world. In the United States, it has been cited as the cause of several epidemics of waterborne disease. The organism has cyst and trophozoite forms, but only the cyst can exist outside the host. The gastrointestinal symptoms of giardiasis are usually self-limited, but chronic cases may occur. Patient education helps reduce public anxiety during an epidemic.

蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫是全球感染性腹泻最常见的病因。在美国，它被认为是几起水源性疾病流行的病因。该生物体有包囊和滋养体两种形态，但只有包囊能在宿主体外存活。贾第虫病的胃肠道症状通常为自限性，但也可能出现慢性病例。患者教育有助于在疫情期间减轻公众焦虑。
