Cutaneous diphtheria in the urban poor population of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: a 10-year review.

abstract：:Common causes of chronic diarrhea among travelers worldwide include protozoan parasites. The majority of parasitic infections are caused by Giardia duodenalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Cryptosporidium hominis Similarly, these species cause the majority of parasitic diarrhea acquired in the Un...
