[Articular manifestations of Giardia lamblia infections].
Reactive arthritis due to Giardia lamblia are rare. They are usually associated with abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Epidemiological data may help for the diagnosis which may be done by parasitologic studies of stools or microscopic examination of jejunal biopsy. Recovery is easily obtained with metronidazole.
