This study was designed to determine the link between blood levels of immunoglobulins (Ig) of A, E, G, M and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and giardiasis in children. A total of 31 children, aged between 2 and 15 years-old, whose stool samples were found to be positive for Giardia lamblia cysts and/or trophozoites by at least one method of saline-Lugol, formalinethyl acetate and trichrome staining, were enrolled in the study group (SG). The control group (CG) consisted of 50 agematched healthy children. Blood levels of immunoglobulins and CRP were measured by ELISA and agglutination methods, respectively. I gA levels were found to be within normal range in all cases of both groups, the IgE levels were found over normal range in (38.7%) of SG and in (16%) of CG (p}, number={2}
