📋Overview
Traveler's diarrhea is an acute gastrointestinal condition commonly experienced by individuals traveling from low-risk to high-risk regions for enteric infections. It is characterized by the sudden onset of loose or watery stools, often accompanied by abdominal cramps, nausea, and sometimes fever. The term is a descriptive label rather than a specific diagnosis, and the modern approach focuses on identifying the causative pathogens and managing symptoms.
