On 19th August ’19, WMT published a Medical Director’s Bulletin with revised guidance on treating traveller’s diarrhoea (TD) with antibiotics. Read the BULLETIN.
WMT Explorer course alumni are directed to this WMT web page where they will find a note to download to keep with their WMT manual and med kit for reference. The note includes the algorithm below and dosing advice for the antibiotics now recommended.
The headline message is STOP using ciprofloxacin to treat TD and follow the new guidelines in Dr Pynn’s Medical Director’s Bulletin
Feel free to share this information widely with other explorers. It’s a major change to how TD has been treated for several decades.
