Peculiar histopathological features of giardiasis in distal duodenal biopsies.

摘要: Histological changes in 20 Giardia positive duodenal biopsies (Group A) were compared with 50, negative B), taken during the same period. Stool examinations Group B for Giardia. Surface epithelium, villous and crypt architecture cellular infiltrates examined between groups. Atrophic villi more common A as to B(P < 0.0001). Intraepithelial neutrophil infiltration (P 0.001), of lamina propria plasma cells 0.5), presence eosinophils 0.001) significant findings group A. Some related density colonization e.g., goblet cell depletion 0.05) 0.01). Erosions ulcerations less commonly seen Thus we conclude that giardiasis manifests its peculiar features distal mucosa a biopsy this region is an important diagnostic tool detection disease.
