It is possible that these conditions can cause some disturbance of the surface absorption process of microvilli.<br>Competition by large number of Giardia and overgrowthed bacteria for dietary nutrients may be a factor of malabsorption.<br>Flagyl effectively eliminated the parasites in asymptomatic patient, but the patient with reduced SIgA in duodenal aspirate, Flagyl-therapy was not effective as a result of oneyear-follow-up.<br>In two healthy carriers of the cysts, after one year, giardia cysts can not detected in stool without treatment.
