Coming soonGiardiasis is an enteric parasitic infection of the small intestine caused by the flagellated protozoan *Giardia duodenalis* (also known as *Giardia lamblia* or *Giardia intestinalis*).
It affects individuals of all ages via the fecal-oral route, with elevated risk among young children, international travelers, and individuals consuming untreated water.
Pathophysiologically, ingested cysts hatch into trophozoites that attach to the duodenal and jejunal brush border, causing enterocyte damage, villous blunting, and malabsorption.
Clinically, infection ranges from asymptomatic colonization to acute or chronic diarrheal illness characterized by watery, foul-smelling, or greasy stools, abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, and weight loss.
