Abstract:   (4313 Views)
In this study 404 pregnant women in Islamshahr, a district southwest of Tehran, were examined for giardiasis. Results showed 7.92% of them to be positive. Abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea were observed as the most common symptoms in infected mothers. Results also indicated that hematological parameters and weight gain of infected pregnant women did not differ significantly from those without any parasitic infection. Also, birth weight, length and head circumference of the neonates of these two groups of mothers did not show any significant difference.
