  • Title: Giardia-induced malabsorption in pancreatitis.
    Author: Sheehy TW, Holley HP.
    Journal: JAMA; 1975 Sep 29; 233(13):1373-5. PubMed ID: 1174210.
    Abstract:
    This report deals with the onset of Giardia-induced, primary malabsorption in patients with chronic pancreatitis. To our knowledge, this association has been reported only once previously. A further review of the literature suggests that malnourished patients with chronic pancreatitis may be susceptible to G lamblia infection. Therapy for giardiasis rapidly reverses the diarrhea, malabsorption, and edema seen in these patients.
