Diarrhea commonly affects international travelers. Episodes are usually short-lasting, but in some patients, symptoms may persist. Clostridium difficile infection should be excluded in travelers with prolonged disease. We report what is, to our knowledge, the first reported study of patients with C. difficile-associated diarrhea after receipt of antibiotic treatment for traveler's diarrhea.
腹泻是国际旅行者常见的病症。发病通常持续时间较短,但部分患者症状可能会持续。对于病程延长的旅行者,应排除艰难梭菌感染。据我们所知,我们报告了首例关于旅行者腹泻接受抗生素治疗后发生艰难梭菌相关性腹泻患者的研究。
