Abstract (2. Language): 
Serum zinc, copper and magnesium levels were determined before and after antigiardia treatment in 30 children (between 2.5-13 years of age) with symptomatic giardiasis by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Before the treatment, serum zinc, copper, and magnesium levels were 66.38±19.6 pg/dl, 96.4±24 pg/dl and 2.7±0.3 mg/dl, respectively. After the treatment (with metronidazole 20 mg/kg/day for 10 days), serum zinc, copper, and magnesium levels were 70.7±19.2 pg/dl, 84.2±16.4 pg/dl and 2.0±0.3 mg/dl, respectively. After the antigiardia treatment, serum copper concentrations were found significantly low (p<0.05). No significant differences were found in serum zinc and magnesium levels between before and after the treatment. [Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center 1996;3(4):311-314]

Abstract (Original Language): 
Yaşları 2.5 ile 13 arasında değişen 21'i erkek, 9'u kız 30 semptomatik giardiazisli çocukta tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında serum çinko, bakır ve magnezyum seviyeleri ölçüldü. Tüm analizler "atomic absorption spectrophotometry" yöntemi ile gerçekleştirildi. Metronidazole tedavisi öncesinde ortalama serum çinko, bakır ve magnezyum seviyeleri sırasıyla 66.38 ± 19.6 pg/dl, 96.4± 24 pg/dl ve 2.7± 0.3 mg/dl olarak bulundu. Tedavi (metronidazole 20 mg/kg/gün 10 gün süre ile) sonrasındaki ortalama çinko, bakır ve magnezyum seviyeleri ise sırasıyla; 70.7±19.2 pg/dl, 84,2± 16.4 pg/dl, ve 2.0±0.3 mg/dl idi. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası serum bakır seviyeleri arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.05). Serum çinko ve magnezyum seviyeleri arasında ise anlamlı bir farklılık tesbit edilmedi (p>0.05). [Turgut Özal Tıp Merkezi Dergisi 1996;3(4):311-314]
