A study on the possible relationship existing between giardiasis and the appereance of oral manifestations in a group of patients over 16, who were diagnosed this affection by biliary drainage, was conducted. It is affirmed that the malabsorption produced by this parasite provokes a deficit of vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats, that in some authora' opinions and in our own, causes the oral alterations found. Of the 50 patients with giardiasis studied, 46 % were males and 54 % females. The oral manifestations detected in 52 % of the cases examined were: aphthas, glossitis, and cheilitis.Downloads
