    AbstractA retrospective study on the treatment of diarrhea in a U.S. Air Force Wing deployed to Egypt during Operation Desert Storm was conducted. Two groups of patients were compared for treatment efficacy. One group was treated with norfloxacin 800 mg as a single dose with the onset of symptoms. The other group was treated conservatively. The group treated with norfloxacin was noted to become asymptomatic in one-fourth the time of the group treated conservatively. This was highly significant, statistically, and in practice. It is recommended that diarrhea be treated aggressively during deployments to third world countries.
