  • Title: Travelers' diarrhea in children visiting tropical countries.
    Author: Silva FG, Figueiredo A, Varandas L.
    Journal: J Travel Med; 2009; 16(1):53-4. PubMed ID: 19192129.
    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.
