Abstract EN
This study carried out from the beginning of May to the end of November 2008 to investigate the rate of Giardia lamblia infection and its relation to some haematological, and biochemical parameters among 348 children aged 2-13 years old visited Kalar General Hospital.
General stool examination was performed by direct method using normal saline and lugols iodine.
The Hb concentration was performed by cyanmethaemoglobin.
The PCV value was estimated using microhaematocrite and total WBC count was done by cytohaemometer.
The total protein and albumin estimation were estimated by spectrophotometry.
The rate of Giardia lamblia infection in males and females was almost the same (16.37% and 16.87%).
Higher rate of infection was found among school age children >6-12 (17.93%) than in preschool children 2-6 (14.63%).
The mean value of haemoglobin concentration (gm/dl) and PCV percentage did not vary statistically in comparison to non infected groups, while total WBC counts was significantly higher in infected children (7990 cell/ml) than non-infected ones (5700 cell/ml).
Total serum protein and albumin concentrations were decreased significantly in G.
lamblia (7.15 mg/dl, 4.91 mg/dl) infected children compared to non-infected (7.49 mg/dl, 5.02mg/dl) respectively., while total globulin concentration increased significantly in (3.41 mg/dl) infected children compared to non-infected (2.56 gm/dl) ones.
