In some individuals, a bout of travelers’ diarrhea leads to persistent gastrointestinal symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, episodic abdominal pain and b loating, constipation or dyspepsia, and gastroesophageal reflux. < /p > < /span > < span class= " a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2 " > < h3 class= " a-plus-plus " > Recent findings < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > Post-infectious symptoms removed from the gastrointestinal tract are also seen, for example, reactive arthritis, which develops shortly after the enteric infection has occurred. Neurologic sequelae of travelers ’ diarrhea, most commonly Guillain-Barré syndrome, are associated with enteric microbial pathogens, most notably < em class= " a-plus-plus " > Campylobacter jejuni < /em > . < /p > < /span > < span class= " a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec3 " > < h3 class= " a-plus-plus " > Summary < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > With an increasing recognition of post-infectious sequelae, attention to prevention and treatment of travelers ’ diarrhea has taken on a new urgency. < /p > < /span >
