Overview
The exact etiological agent responsible for causing tropical sprue is unknown, but different types of bacteria are identified in patients with tropical sprue.
Causes
Small bowel bacterial overgrowth is thought to be the primary cause for tropical sprue but the exact cause of tropical sprue is still unknown. Tropical sprue occurs in regions where enteric infections are common and the most common bacteria isolated in patients with tropical sprue include:[1][2][3]
