Giardia Lamblia is considered as the most important cause of parasitic diarrhoea in children and adults. The epidemiology of the infection is determined by environmental and regional factors. The sensitivity of man for this infection depends on factors related to man himself and his environment. Structural changes of the gut such as cellular infiltration and villous atrophy, and functional derangements like malabsorption can explain part of the symptoms. The application of different procedures for the parasitological diagnosis with a variable degree of sensitivity is the cause of difference in recorded prevalence data. This infectious disease can be treated with a number of drugs; single dose treatment is to be preferred especially in childhood. Results of treatment i.a. with a single dose ornidazole are reported.
蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫被认为是儿童和成人寄生性腹泻的最重要病因。该感染的流行病学由环境和区域因素决定。人类对这种感染的易感性取决于与人类自身及其环境相关的因素。肠道的结构变化，如细胞浸润和绒毛萎缩，以及功能紊乱，如吸收不良，可以解释部分症状。不同寄生虫学诊断方法的敏感性程度不同，这是记录的患病率数据存在差异的原因。这种传染病可用多种药物治疗；单剂量治疗尤其在儿童期更受青睐。报告了单剂量奥硝唑等治疗的结果。
