APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Escherichia coli, especially Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), is the most common pathogen worldwide. ETEC is responsible for 30 to 60% of all cases of travelers’ diarrhea and is a significant cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in the developing world, especially in Africa and Lain America [1].

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria are the most common cause of TD. Overall, the most common pathogen identified is enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, followed by Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp.

Detailed explanation-3: -Traveler’s diarrhea is an unpleasant side effect of international travel. Most of the time, it’s not serious and passes quickly. E. coli bacteria are the most frequent offenders, followed by Salmonella.

Detailed explanation-4: -ENTEROAGGREGATIVE E COLI and it is among the most common diarrheal agents in the United States. Like ETEC, EAEC is noninvasive. It appears to cause diarrhea by colonization of the intestinal mucosa followed by the release of enterotoxins and cytotoxins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Infectious agents are the primary cause of travelers’ diarrhea. Bacterial enteropathogens cause about 80% of cases. Viruses and protozoans account for most of the rest. The most common causative agent isolated in countries surveyed has been enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).
