			== Background ==
			=== Microbiology ===
			* Gastrointestinal flagellated protozoan parasite

			=== Life Cycle ===
			* Unclear, but may inoculate humans via [[pinworm]] eggs

			== Clinical Presentation ==
			* There exists some debate about its pathogenicity
			* Many cases are asymptomatic and incidental on stool ova & parasite
			* Attributable symptoms, when present, vague abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and anorexia

			== Management ==
			* Look for coinfection with ''[[Enterobius vermicularis]]''
			* If symptomatic, treat with:
			** [[Is treated by::Iodoquinol]] 650 mg orally three times daily for 20 days
			** [[Is treated by::Paromomycin]] 25–35 mg per kg per day orally, in three divided doses, for 7 days
			** [[Is treated by::Metronidazole]] 500–750 mg orally three times daily for 10 days, though this may be associated with a higher rate of recurrence
