Abstract

Objectives: to determine the status of food-borne diseases in medical students during 2 weeks of follow-up. Subjects and Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 500 fifth year students at Military Medical Academy to investigate the incidence and characteristics of food borne diseases during 2 weeks of follow-up. Results: The overall incidence of acute diarrhea and acute food-borne diarrhea during the two-week follow-up was 5% and 4.8%, respectively. The majority (96%) of cases of diarrhea were acute food-borne diarrhea. The majority of food poisoning cases had diarrhea (70.6%). Common situations with acute food-borne diarrhea were: street food (87.5%), party food (12.5%). All cases were self-treated (100.0%) with drugs (87.5%)
or self-recovered (12.5%). Conclusion: The rate of diarrhea among students was quite high and the majority of diarrhea cases were caused by food. Most cases did not go to medical facilities for examination and treatment, but self-treated with drugs.
