Title: Giardiasis: an elusive cause of gastrointestinal distress.
Authors: Backer HD (AUTHOR)
Source: Physician & Sportsmedicine. Jul2000, Vol. 28 Issue 7, p46-57. 7p.
Abstract: The common protozoan Giardia lamblia has a fecal-oral mode of transmission, usually from contaminated water or food or person-to-person contact. Infection may be asymptomatic or result in a broad spectrum of symptoms--most commonly, subacute illness that is mistaken for other gastrointestinal problems. Although most infections are self-limited, treatment is indicated due to the long duration and the risk of transmission. Several therapeutic agents are available, but none is 100% effective. Prevention for people involved in outdoor sports or recreation and for international travelers includes treatment of all surface water and rigorous personal hygiene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
