Abstract

The cyanobacteria-like body (CLB) is a recently described agent, causing a travellers' disease (TD) syndrome characterized mainly by diarrhea. It has been described in travellers who have visited Asia and Latin America. We report 6 cases seen over a 16-month period among those attending a travellers' clinic. All patients suffered from fatigue, watery diarrhea and abdominal cramps; some also lost weight. The episodes were recurrent.

摘要

类蓝藻体（CLB）是一种最近才被描述的病原体，可引发一种主要以腹泻为特征的旅行者疾病（TD）综合征。在前往亚洲和拉丁美洲的旅行者中已有相关描述。我们报告了在一家旅行者诊所就诊的患者中，在16个月内发现的6例病例。所有患者均出现疲劳、水样腹泻和腹部绞痛；部分患者还出现了体重减轻。这些症状呈反复发作。
