    Author: Gétaz L, Chappuis F, Loutan L.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2007 May 16; 3(111):1254-8. PubMed ID: 17585630.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal parasites represent an important burden of disease mainly in developing countries. Physicians practicing in Europe can be exposed to these diseases, mainly seen in immigrants or travellers returning from tropical countries. Several parasitic diseases remain ubiquitous and can be contracted in developed countries. Most often, parasitic infections cause no or only few symptoms, but some can lead to serious disease in immuno-compromised patients. Diagnostic procedures and treatments available are discussed.
