摘要：
Travelers' diarrhea affects almost half of all travelers from developed to developing nations. Its occurrence frequently alters planned activities. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and other bacterial pathogens endemic to the area visited account for the majority of pathogens isolated. Newer research technologies are assisting in defining virulence properties and epidemiologic characteristics. Prudence exercised during travel remains the preferred mode of prevention, reserving antimicrobial prophylaxis for specific situations. Oral rehydration and early pharmacologic intervention with antimicrobial and antimotility agents significantly decrease length of illness when diarrhea occurs.
