Abstract

We studied a group of 174 Portuguese children (aged 2 mo-16 y) who mostly traveled to tropical Portuguese-speaking countries and found an attack rate of 21.8% for travelers' diarrhea, much lower than previously described. We also showed that African rate analysis by region may hide significant differences between countries.

摘要

我们研究了一组174名葡萄牙儿童（年龄在2个月至16岁之间），他们大多前往热带葡语国家旅行，发现旅行者腹泻的发病率为21.8%，远低于此前所描述的发病率。我们还表明，按地区进行非洲发病率分析可能会掩盖各国之间的显著差异。
