Testing two ways to find Giardia in children
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two methods (looking under a microscope and a blood test) to see which one is better at finding Giardia, a parasite that causes diarrhea and stomach problems in children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child with diarrhea or other stomach issues.
- You have not taken any medication for parasites in the last 2 weeks.

This study follows children aged 6 months to 5 years with diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium. It aims to understand how the infection develops over time and how it affects children.
This trial tests a quick PCR test (a lab test that finds germs) in children with stomach bugs. It aims to see if the test can help doctors diagnose the cause of vomiting, diarrhea, or belly pain faster.
This trial tests whether a probiotic called LGG (a type of good bacteria) helps children with sudden diarrhea from an infection feel better faster. It is for children who have had diarrhea for less than 48 hours and have not taken probiotics or antibiotics recently.
This study checks if a stool test can find H. pylori bacteria in children, instead of using a stomach biopsy during an endoscopy. It may help diagnose stomach issues with less discomfort.
This study compares two types of genetic tests—whole genome sequencing and whole exome sequencing—to find causes of long-lasting diarrhea in children. It may help doctors diagnose the reason for diarrhea faster, which can guide treatment.
This study looks at children with ongoing diarrhea to better understand the causes and find better ways to diagnose and treat it. It will use advanced testing to learn more about the condition.
