Giardiasis
Giardiasis is most prevalent in Eastern Europe.
Giardiasis is a disease. Diseases don't have scientific names. The pathogens that cause diseases do though.Giardiasis is caused by Giardia lamblia.
The best way to avoid giardiasis is to avoid drinking untreated surface water, especially from mountain streams.
Giardiasis is caused by a parasite called Giardia lamblia, and it is typically transmitted through contaminated water or food. The parasite is ingested and then spreads to the small intestine where it reproduces and causes symptoms such as diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. Proper hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly and purifying drinking water, is important in preventing the spread of giardiasis.

Acute giardiasis can usually be allowed to run its natural course and tends to clear up on its own. Antibiotics are helpful, however, in easing symptoms and preventing the spread of infection.

The primary treatment for giardiasis is medication called metronidazole, which is prescribed by a healthcare professional. The course of treatment usually lasts for 5-7 days. It is important to complete the full course of medication as prescribed to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
The annual mortality rate for giardiasis is quite low, typically estimated to be less than 0.5% in most populations, particularly in developed countries. Giardiasis is primarily a non-fatal gastrointestinal infection caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia, and while it can lead to severe dehydration and other complications, fatalities are rare. However, in immunocompromised individuals or in regions with limited access to healthcare, the risk of severe outcomes may be higher. Overall, giardiasis is considered more of a public health concern due to its prevalence rather than its mortality rate.
