title = "Travelers{\textquoteright} diarrhea in panamanian tourists in mexico",
abstract = "To determine whether residents of developing countries are unlikely to acquire travelers{\textquoteright} diarrhea, 64 Panamanians of widely divergent socioeconomic strata were studied during a 15-day tour through Mexico. Twenty-three (36%) tourists experienced 27 episodes of travelers{\textquoteright} diarrhea that were caused by seven different pathogens. The most commonly identified etiologic agents were rotavirus (26%), Norwalk virus (15%), and Campylobacter fetus (11%), whereas enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli was not frequently associated with travelers{\textquoteright} diarrhea. Acquisition of travelers{\textquoteright} diarrhea was correlated directly with high socioeconomic status. Varying levels of immunity to enteropathogens that are endemic in Panama may explain the different isolation rates of pathogens.",
