Giardiasis is one of the most common parasitic infestations in the world. The clinical picture of giardiasis is varied, but there are lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, which is associated with the localization of parasites in the duodenum and jejunum. According to WHO, in Asia, Africa and Latin America, about 50 thousand people fall ill with giardiasis every year. There are both severe clinical manifestations of giardiasis and latent forms of the disease. Endoscopic and histological studies of biopsies of the intestinal mucosa revealed focal or widespread hyperemia, edema of the duodenal mucosa in more than 74% of the examined.
