Oxf Med Case Reports. 2014 Oct 8;2014(7):118-9. doi: 10.1093/omcr/omu046. eCollection 2014 Oct.

Abstract

We present a case of 3-year-old boy who presented with vomiting and chronic diarrhoea, and the duodenal biopsy showed the presence of both Giardia and Sarcina. The clinical and pathological significance of Sarcina remains unknown in human beings and its co-existence with Giardia has not been reported.
