Military personnel with travelers' diarrhea (n=202) while deployed to Incirlik, Turkey from June to September 2002 were evaluated for pathogen-specific immune responses. Serologic and fecal IgA titers to ETEC antigens (CS6, CS3 and LT) were quite low. In contrast, subjects with Campylobacter had high serologic and fecal IgA responses.
