Giardia lamblia has been considered a facultative pathogenic organism. The prevalence of this organism was found in 18.58% and 18.18% of children with and without associated symptoms. The prevalence is higher than those previous studies from Southeast Asia. Most children are commonly infected after 1 year of age. Giardiasis should be suspected in any child with unexplained chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain and failure to gain weight. The diagnosis is important because the disease is curable after appropriate treatment.
蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫一直被认为是一种机会致病菌。在有相关症状和无相关症状的儿童中，该病原体的感染率分别为18.58%和18.18%。这一感染率高于此前东南亚地区的研究结果。大多数儿童通常在1岁以后受到感染。任何出现不明原因的慢性腹泻、腹痛和体重不增的儿童都应怀疑感染了贾第虫病。诊断很重要，因为经过适当治疗后该病是可治愈的。
