Abstract
The article discusses the issues of epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of travelers’ diarrhea (TD). This disease most often has a bacterial nature, but can also be caused by viruses and protozoa. TD usually has a favorable course and ends with self-healing. In mild forms of TD, rehydration therapy is suffi cient, as well as the appointment of loperamide or bismuth subsalicylate. In moderately severe and severe forms, the use of antibiotics (fl uoroquinolones, azithromycin, rifaximin) is necessary. Prevention of TD is reduced to compliance with hygienic measures. The appointment of antibiotics for this purpose — taking into account the growing resistance to them — is carried out only for special indications.
