Duodenal nodularity is an uncommon endoscopic finding charac- trized by numerous visible mucosal nodules in the duodenum. It is important to consider giardiasis in patients with symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss and abdominal distension. It is also important to remind giardiasis in patients with duodenal nodularity. (Acta gastroenterol. belg., 2017, 80, 91). |
