CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF GIAMBLIASIS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

In the patients examined by us, latent, subclinical and clinical forms of giardiasis were identified. In the latent form, the children did not complain. In the subclinical and clinical form, abdominal pain and dyspepsia syndrome were observed. 36 children with latent, 78 children with subclinical and 62 with clinical form of giardiasis were examined. Examination of children was carried out in the Samarkand multidisciplinary children's medical center. The age of the children ranged from 3 to 18 years. Diagnosis of giardiasis was based on complaints, anamnesis, clinical manifestations of giardiasis, as well as an extended coprogram. Among the various forms of giardiasis, its asymptomatic form occupied a special place. In the subclinical form of giardiasis, mild abdominal pain was most often observed (in 66 out of 78 - 84.6%), "intestinal" syndrome (in 52-66.7%) and less often "gastric" (in 25-32.1% ) dyspepsia. Pain in the abdomen was mainly localized in the pyloroduodenal (35.8%), which is characteristic of duodenitis (49.5%). In children with the clinical form of giardiasis, pain was localized in the pyloroduodenal zone (in 42 out of 62 children - 67.7%). Clinical manifestations of giardiasis in children are characterized by diversity. Patients with clinical manifestations of giardiasis, along with a single anti-giardia drug therapy, diet therapy is recommended.
