为了调查全球范围内游客的腹泻情况，我们采访了来自不同气候地区的13个目的地的16,568名乘客。在个别目的地之间以及同一地区的酒店之间，腹泻发生率存在显著差异。最高的比率超过50%。年轻人更容易受到影响。性别、旅行特征和以前的热带旅行记录对发病率影响较小。即使在热带地区，腹泻通常需要很短的时间（平均3.6天）和轻微的过程（平均每天4.6次大便）。预防性或治疗性药物对这些值的影响很小。不同地区在年代学和症状学上有细微差异。这与致病因子的数量而非质量的地理差异是一致的。传统的预防营养建议似乎是不现实的，通常是不成功的。
To investigate diarrhea in tourists on a worldwide scale, 16,568 passengers were interviewed during their flights home from 13 destinations in various climatic regions. Significant differences in diarrheal incidence were observed between individual destinations and also between hotels in the same area. The highest rates exceeded 50%. Younger persons were more often affected. Sex, travel characteristics, and a record of former tropical journeys influenced the incidence to a minor degree. Even in the tropics, diarrhea usually takes a short (average, 3.6 days) and mild (average of 4.6 stools per day) course. Prophylactic or therapeutic medication only slightly influenced these values. The various regions showed minor differences in chronology and symptomatology. This is consistent with quantitative rather than qualitative geographic variations in causative agents. The traditional nutritional recommendations for prophylaxis seemed to be unrealistic and usually unsuccessful.
