Abstract

The aim of this study was to show the distribution of Giardia lamblia
infection among local and displaced children in Kirkuk city, and its
effect on some hematological parameters Haemoglobin (Hb), Packed cell
volum (PCV) White Blood Cell Counts (WBCc). The stool samples were
examined by direct wet mounts techniques, concentration and ELISA
techniques. Blood sample were collected from each child and some
hematological parameters were estimated for them. The overall rate of
Giardia lamblia infection in displaced children 21.5% was higher than
local ones 10.53% . The prevalence of infection males 15.64% was
higher than females 12.01% in both local and displaced children . The
hemoglobin value among local children was significantly lower than
displaced children. while the PCV value among local children was
significantly higher than displaced ones. The rate of WBC in local and
displaced children was increased slightly, its value in local children
10.13% and in displaced children10.30%. Its concluded that the
distribution of Giardia lamblia was high in both local and displaced
children. The rate of infection in displaced children was higher than local
