Invasive into tissue, therefore, pathogenic when gut content low in starch. Giardia lamblia: attaches by disk to epithelium of gut; infection results in malabsorption of fat. Mucocutaneous ulceration metastasizes such that nasal septum may be destroyed. Anergy may be minifested in the form facial nodules. Infection may result in splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, dermal lesihmanoid nodules with fatal prognosis. Stage that causes the least pathology is the trypomastigote stage.
