The results of routine microscopical examination of faeces for infection with Giardia were compared with those obtained by immunoenzymatic investigation for stool antigens of the parasite, using tests currently available on the Polish market. It was found that the results of microscopical examination were very consistent with the results of immunoenzymatic tests of the following manufactures: Alexon, LMD Labs and Dialab. The above tests may be used as a sole diagnostic method for epidemiological or follow-up studies, however, they cannot replace microscopical examination.

D002648	Child	A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL.	Children
D002675	Child, Preschool	A child between the ages of 2 and 5.	Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D004797	Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay	An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000953	Antigens, Protozoan	Any part or derivative of any protozoan that elicits immunity; malaria (Plasmodium) and trypanosome antigens are presently the most frequently encountered.	Protozoan Antigens
D016829	Giardia lamblia	A species of parasitic EUKARYOTES that attaches itself to the intestinal mucosa and feeds on mucous secretions. The organism is roughly pear-shaped and motility is somewhat erratic, with a slow oscillation about the long axis.	Giardia duodenalis,Giardia intestinalis,Lamblia intestinalis,Giardia lamblias
