Annotation: Giardiasis is a widespread human protozoal disease. An invasive disease that occurs as an asymptomatic carrier, sometimes leading to impaired function of the small intestine (7,8). The fact is that often giardiasis occurs under the "mask" of other diseases. It can occur with little or no clinical signs of disease, resulting in infected individuals not seeking medical attention and being diagnosed with giardiasis incidentally (2,8). Currently, about 300 human helminthiases and about 50 types of protozoan invasions are known to cause disease in humans. According to modern estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), 1/4 of the world's population is infected with intestinal parasites. In Uzbekistan, the laboratory annually detects more than 200,000 patients. 90 percent of them are children. Organizations of preschool education and schools are affected by intestinal helminthiases by 97-99 percent (10). Thus, the problem of helminthiasis and protozoosis remains relevant today (1). The wide spread of helminthiases and protozooses requires increased attention to this problem by first contact physicians (therapists, pediatricians, general practitioners (1,3,4). Timely detection and prompt administration of anthelminthic or antiparasitic therapy will reduce the number of cases of severe helminthiasis and protozoosis, as well as their complications (1,5,6).In our article, we tried to present our point of view on contagious helminthiases associated with giardiasis.
