Traveler’s Diarrhea Overview

Traveler’s diarrhea (TD) is an acute diarrheal illness spread through contaminated food or water. Bacterial causes include enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Shigella and Salmonella; norovirus and protozoa, including Giardia, contribute. Symptoms include loose stools, cramps, fever, vomiting and dehydration. Most cases resolve in days, but persistent illness may reflect protozoal infection or post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome. Oral rehydration is central to care; loperamide or bismuth subsalicylate can ease symptoms in appropriate cases. Antibiotics are not recommended for mild cases. Azithromycin is preferred for severe or dysenteric disease; rifaximin and rifamycin SV are options for selected non-invasive bacterial infections. Routine antibiotic prophylaxis is discouraged due to adverse effects and resistance. Prevention research includes pathogen-specific vaccines, including investigational ETEC vaccine ETVAX; no vaccine offers broad protection against TD.
