Case Series Study of Traveler's Diarrhea in U.S. Military Personnel at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey

Case Series Study of Traveler's Diarrhea in U.S. Military Personnel at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey Military personnel with traveler's diarrhea ( n = 202) while deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, from June to September 2002 were evaluated for pathogen-specific immune responses. Serologic and fecal immunoglobulin A (IgA) titers to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli antigens (CS6, CS3, and LT) were quite low. In contrast, subjects with Campylobacter infections had high serologic and fecal IgA responses. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Clinical and Vaccine Immunology American Society For Microbiology
