Giardiasis is a cosmopolitan parasitic disease. About 10% of adults and 20% of children in Poland is infected with Giardia lamblia but only a few per cent of cases is symptomatic. Incidence and symptomatology depend upon a number of factors including individual susceptibility. The disease is usually chronic and recurrent and acute form is found in rare cases only. Giardiasis should be suspected in patients with chronic atypical symptoms related to the alimentary tract. Nitroimidasolic compounds are used in the treatment of giardiasis.
贾第虫病是一种世界性的寄生虫病。在波兰，约10%的成年人和20%的儿童感染了蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫，但只有少数病例出现症状。发病率和症状取决于包括个体易感性在内的多种因素。该病通常为慢性且反复发作，仅在极少数情况下出现急性形式。对于有与消化道相关的慢性非典型症状的患者，应怀疑患有贾第虫病。硝基咪唑类化合物用于治疗贾第虫病。
