Travelers' diarrhea is an important gastrointestinal disorder in developing countries.
A cluster of travelers' diarrhea among Cambodian students visiting Thailand is described in this article.
Nine cases of travelers' diarrhea were identified. These cases were among Cambodian students visiting Thailand under an exchange program. All presented with symptoms of diarrhea and nausea, and all improved within that day.
The prevention of gastrointestinal illness as well as recommendations for hygienic precautions for travelers who plan to visit tropical Asia, where the high prevalence of gastrointestinal disorder is documented, are important. In addition, a similar practice among local travelers within tropical Asia is also necessary.
