Giardiasis: report of a case refractory to treatment.

We describe the follow-up of a patient with recurrent giardiasis refractory to nitroimidazoles. Despite the different therapies received, the symptomatology and parasitic forms of G. lamblia persisted in the patient. There is no standard treatment regimen for giardiasis refractory to nitroimidazoles. When treatment failure is confirmed, it is necessary to switch to second-line regimens.
