“…Spośród dzieci posadających przeciwciała, aż 40% było zakażone giardią intestinalis, w porównaniu do 21% zakażonych w grupie bez reakcji alegricznej na mleko krowie. [6] Alergie w giardiozie mogą manifestowac się także w układzie oddechowym. Najczęstszym objawem jest alergiczny nieżyt nosa oraz astma.…”

Giardia intestinalis infection is the most common parasitic infection in the world. The parasite's reservoir is mainly humans and many species of mammals. Giardiasis is a parasitic disease of the duodenum and small intestine. Infection spreads easily through the oral-fecal route. Its most frequent symptom is chronic diarrhea, but it can also be asymptomatic. This article analyzes atypical symptoms of Giardia Intestinalis infection based on available studies in the PubMed database. Observations have shown that giardiasis can manifest in various types of dermatoses such as urticaria, angioedema, atopic dermatitis, erythema nodosum, or Wells syndrome. A relationship between Giardia Intestinalis infection and various allergic syndromes, manifesting as chronic urticaria or angioedema, has also been observed, as well as an increased occurrence of food allergies due to increased exposure to antigens. Studies have also shown that giardiasis can cause polyneuropathy, avitaminosis, and malabsorption syndrome. Even years after infection, chronic fatigue syndrome can still be observed

“…Eine Studie aus dem Jahr 1997 von Di Prisco et al [8] belegt den möglichen Zusammenhang zwischen G. lamblia und allergischen Symptomen. So ist es wahrscheinlich, dass eine derartige Protozoeninfektion die Sensitivität gegenüber Nahrungsallergenen verstärkt, was letztlich auf einer Steigerung der Antigenpenetration durch die lambliengeschädigte Darmschleimhaut beruht.…”

Three patients with chronic urticaria or pruritus were found to suffer from an asymptomatic intestinal infection caused by the protozoan Giardia lamblia. Treatment with metronidazole per os or tinidazole per os was successful; the pruritic symptoms in one patient improved markedly.Giardia lamblia (Giardia intestinalis) are enteroparasites and produce gastrointestinal symptoms such as acute and chronic diarrhea. Cutaneous manifestations associated with giardiasis occur extremely rarely. Urticaria and itching may be explained as an infection-associated allergy. Hitherto, the following cutaneous signs have been described: urticaria, angioedema, mouth ulcers, pruritus, atopic dermatitis, and anal eczema.We considered that the cutaneous manifestations described here, i. e., urticaria and itching, were secondary to the associated gastrointestinal infection due to Giardia lamblia cysts and trophozoite forms, as they disappeared under specific treatment with metronidazole or tinidazole.
