ABSTRACT
The prevalence of giardiasis was studied among 1000 school children of Islamabad area. All subjects belonged to lower socio-economic group. Water supply in their homes was inadequate and the environmental sanitation poor. The overall prevalence of giardiasis was 18.3%. Though it was slightly high among males [19.2%] as compared to females [17.69%], the difference was not statistically significant. Children between 5 and 9 years had a higher prevalence [20.4%] as compared to those between 10 to 14 years [15%]. The difference was statistically significant [P<0.05] and this pattern was consistent among children of both sexes
