Abstract
EXPERIENCED travelers recall trips abroad that were memorable mainly for bouts of diarrhea. Few who have visited the Continent, Mexico or more distant lands are unacquainted with intestinal disease either from personal experience or from the tales of their companions. After the war, when millions of soldiers who had had diarrhea returned to the United States, there were dire predictions that a major increase in amebiasis and other intestinal infections might affect the civilian population. Sufficient time has elapsed to indicate that no major increase in intestinal infections derived from troops stationed abroad has occurred in this country.1 , 2 An interesting . . .Keywords
