How Contagious is Traveller's Diarrhea?

Diarrheal infections are highly contagious. They can spread from person to person via dirty hands, contaminated food or water, and some pets. Most cases are contagious for as long as a person has diarrhea, but some infections can be contagious for even longer.

What are the 25 Pathogens Screened for in Real-Time PCR 25 Diarrhea Diagnosis?

Bacteria

Bacteria stand out as the primary culprit behind travellers' diarrhoea. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is the most commonly identified pathogen, followed closely by Campylobacter spp, Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp. Cases of travellers' diarrhoea also frequently involve some E. coli strains. Surveillance data also highlight Aeromonas spp.

Viruses

Viral diarrhoea can stem from various pathogens, including astrovirus, norovirus, and rotavirus.

Parasites

Among protozoal parasites, Giardia emerges as the primary pathogen associated with travellers' diarrhoea. While Entamoeba histolytica and Cryptosporidium are less commonly implicated, the risk for Cyclospora infection varies significantly by geographic location and season.

Many things can cause traveller's diarrhoea, but the most common troublemakers are bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, viruses like norovirus, and parasites like Giardia.

What is the Benefit of Real-time PCR 25 Diarrhea Testing?

Traditional diagnostic methods pose several challenges, such as significant variability, limited sensitivity, labour-intensive procedures, and lengthy processing times. 

In contrast, multiplex real-time PCR-based diagnosis has garnered attention due to its numerous benefits. These include the simultaneous detection of a wide range of gastrointestinal tract infection pathogens with just one sample, rapid processing times, and high reproducibility rates facilitated by automated platforms.

PCR25 testing helps doctors figure out precisely what's causing your traveller's diarrhoea. It looks for tiny bits of DNA (from various pathogens) that can make you sick.

With PCR25 testing, doctors can pinpoint the culprit quickly and accurately, so they know exactly what treatment will help you feel better.

That way, doctors can give you the proper treatment to help you get back to enjoying your trip.

What are the Symptoms of Traveler's Diarrhea?

Traveler's diarrhea usually starts suddenly, with loose stools (you might need to go to the bathroom three or more times a day), stomach cramps, and a feeling like you need to go urgently. You might also feel nauseous, throw up, or have a fever. 

• Nausea.
• Vomiting.
• Bloating.
• Belly (abdominal) pain or cramps.
• Blood in the stool.
• Trouble waiting to have a bowel movement (urgency)
• Feeling tired.
• Fever.

In severe cases, you might notice blood in your stools or have terrible belly pain.

"Did you know that sexual activities, such as oral-anal and oral-genital contact with an infected person, might cause some of the symptoms, too? These sexual activities could transmit viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases, including amebiasis and giardiasis." 

Overview of Traveler's Diarrhea

You typically develop traveller's diarrhoea after ingesting food or water contaminated with organisms from faeces.
