Abstract

By longitudinally following a large cohort of intercontinental travellers, this study highlights the importance of considering multiple risk factors to comprehend post-infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome (PI-IBS). Stomach cramps, antibiotic use and nausea during travel were among the variables that predicted PI-IBS development following an episode of traveller's diarrhoea.
