Two groups were formed: group I – children with a positive test for Giardia duodenalis (n = 90); group II – children with a negative test (n = 110). Genetic examination, anthropometry and fecal calprotectin (FC) evaluation were carried out in these children. Results. Out of the 688 children examined, 90 had a positive result (G. duodenalis (+)).
