Abstract

The current study aimed at finding the relationship between infection of Giardia lamblia and some hematological (complete blood count, concentration of ferritin) and immunological parameters (interleukin-6, interleukin-10), The present study was carried out from June, 2020 to May, 2021. A total of 509 out suspected patients samples and 50 healthy persons , whom have meant the laboratory of AL-Hakeem hospital ,Al Sader General Hospital ,AL-Zahra maternity and pediatrics and Al Furat General Hospital in AL-Najaf province.The results of the current study showed a high incidence of injuries among the age group (10-20) As the percentage (52.06%) , While the lowest rate of infection was in the age group (51-60) As the percentage (37.52%),The results of the current study showed a clear decrease in most of the blood parameters in people infected with the parasite Giardia lamblia Compared to the healthy group While the results showed an increase in eosinophilic blood cells in patients infected with the parasite Giardia compared to the healthy group, Result of study revealed that concentration of (IL-6) in male and female patients infected with G. lamblia were significant decrease (P (211.92±13.07pg /ml), (263.75±21.73) respectively in compared to the control group (481.54±19.83pg /ml), (394.66±32.98pg/ml) respectively.
