Giardia duodenalis Assemblages Associated with Diarrhea in Children in South India Identified by PCR-RFLP

2009-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Giardial diarrhea in a birth cohort of 452 children in an urban slum in South India was characterized. Of the 155 episodes that occurred in 99 children, 73% were acute diarrhea. Children with better educated mothers and a toilet at home had lower odds of acquiring giardial diarrhea, whereas low socioeconomic status and drinking municipal water were associated with greater risk. Children with co-infections tended t...
