Giardia lamblia infection (giardiasis) is a common intestinal parasitic infection worldwide, particularly prevalent in children from low or middle-income countries. The infection manifests with a range of clinical outcomes with potential long-term effects on nutrient absorption and child growth. The aim of this review is to synthesize existing research and provide a comprehensive understanding of giardiasis. Studies reviewed were obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar within the last ten years. Giardiasis can lead to significant health issues if not diagnosed and treated promptly, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and comprehensive management strategies to prevent long-term complications.
