VITAMIN D ESTIMATION IN GIARDIA LAMBLIA INFECTED PATIENTS IN UPPER EGYPT

ZINC DEFICIENCY IN CHILDREN INFECTED WITH GIARDIA LAMBLIA

Giardia, a protozoan parasite, resides in the small intestine in man. This parasite damages the mucosal intestinal surface and in severe cases produces malabsorption and it may also affect mineral absorption, especially zinc. In this study a total of 118 infested and 43 non-infested persons as a control group were selected. From each patient a 5 ml blood sample was obtained. The serum was ...

Pyrimidine salvage in Giardia lamblia

We have found that the anaerobic protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia is incapable of de novo pyrimidine metabolism, as shown by its inability to incorporate orotate, bicarbonate, and aspartate into the pyrimidine nucleotide pool. Results from high performance liquid chromatography of pyrimidine and pyrimidine nucleoside pulse-labeled nucleotide pools and enzyme assays suggest that the parasite s...
