The risk of
travelers’ diarrhea generally appears to be same in children as adults,
except for the youngest children
(Steffen et al, 1999, cited by
Fischer, 2001; Pitzringer et al, 1991, cited by Ericsson, 2003).
Infants appear to have more severe diarrhea
illness and to have diarrhea longer than other travelers
(Fischer, 2001).
Hand-mouth contamination is probably important;
cleanliness of any object put into their mouths is important. Ericsson CD. Travellers’ diarrhoea. Int J Antimicrobial Agents 2003; 21:116-124. Fischer PR. Traveling with children.
