Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Giardia lamblia is a neglected parasitic infection that typically affects the developing nations of the world. It is a microscopic intestinal parasite that is known to cause stomach cramps, bloating, nausea and bouts of diarrhoea.
CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we are presenting the case of a 1.5 years-old-baby with an immunocompromised condition who got infected by Giardia lamblia. The baby with fibrosarcoma was receiving treatment in our tertiary care centre, and later developed abdominal and minor systemic complaints. Stool samples were collected, which showed trophozoites and cysts of Giardia.
DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Giardia lamblia infection in a paediatric patient with fibrosarcoma. The patient improved after taking metronidazole for ten days.
CONCLUSION: It is critical to keep a watch out for this neglected parasite, and suggested samples, particularly stool samples, must be sent for investigation in order to diagnose and manage these cases properly.
