Initially described in travelers, outbreaks of cyclosporiasis were soon linked to imported food products. An outbreak of cyclosporiasis in Spanish travelers is described. After identification of Cyclospora cayetanensis in stool analyses, a specific questionnaire was completed. Pyrosis was described in 57% of cases (4/7). Peptic symptoms can be a useful clue to indicate the diagnosis of cyclosporiasis in patients with travelers' diarrhea.
环孢子虫病最初在旅行者中被描述,其暴发很快与进口食品相关联。本文描述了西班牙旅行者中的一次环孢子虫病暴发。在粪便分析中鉴定出卡耶塔环孢子虫后,完成了一份特定问卷。57%的病例(4/7)出现了烧心症状。消化症状可能是旅行者腹泻患者中环孢子虫病诊断的有用线索。
