Emporiatrics: diarrhea in travelers
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol.
1990 Nov.
Abstract
The degree of discomfort and inconvenience caused by travelers' diarrhea highlights the need to prepare the international traveler thoroughly. In addition to observing food and water precautions, most travelers should carry antibiotics and antimotility agents to be started if diarrhea occurs. Used judiciously, these precautions may prevent an unplanned tour of bathrooms and outhouses in foreign countries.
