Q

G. lamblia pathology

A
  • Non-tissue invading but pathologic
  • Causative agent of Traveller’s diarrhea
  • Upon ingestion of the cysts it takes 1-4 weeks for disease to manifest (9 days)
  • Maybe asymptomatic (cyst passer)
  • Mechanical irritation of the sucking disc to the microvilli → deficiencies in the digestive enzymes → malabsorption (steatorrheic)

Q

ACUTE CASES g. lamblia

A
  • abdominal pain, cramping with diarrhea
  • There is a note of flatus with an odor of H2S- smelling like “rotten eggs”
  • Bloating, nausea and anorexia followed by malaise and flatulence
  • Untreated

17
Q

Life cycle of G. lamblia

A

− Ingestion of Dormant Cysts
− Excystation trophozoite emerge to an active state
− Trophozoite undergo asexual replication
− Not everyone exhibit symptoms
− Encystation during transit toward the colon
− Cysts and trophozoites expelled in the feces
− Only cysts can survive outside of the host
− Cyst can survive for weeks to months in cold water
