| Ordering info (EPIC SmartText) | Cryptosporidium and Giardia are two of the most frequent causes of parasitic intestinal diseases. Both organisms are found throughout the world. Transmission is usually through the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Giardiasis in humans is caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis (also known as Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia). The acute disease is characterized by watery diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps, bloating, weight loss and malabsorption lasting for several weeks. Chronic or asymptomatic infection can also occur. Cryptosporidiosis in humans is caused by the coccidian parasite Cryptosporidium parvum. Acute symptoms include watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, low grade fever, nausea and vomiting lasting for several days to over a month. Severe, persistent infections can occur in immunocompromised patients. Infection may also be asymptomatic. The parasite has been implicated in several major waterborne outbreaks in the United States. Diagnosis of Cryptosporidium and Giardia infections has traditionally been done by microscopic examination of stools. More recently, the detection of Giardia and Cryptosporidium antigens in stool specimens using enzyme immunoassays has become an accepted approach to diagnosis. |
