With more people choosing South-East Asia as a travel destination there
is now an influx of people entering South Korea with Shigellosis, an
intestinal bacterial infection.
The Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that,..
of some 200 people that reported a Shigellosis infection between 2010
and 2011, there was a very high probability that almost all of them had
contracted it in South-East Asia.
Most of the incidents were reported in travelers returning from India followed by Cambodia and the Philippines.
Shigellosis is a foodborne illness that can cause mild abdominal discomfort to full-blown dysentery.
