Overview
Tropical sprue is classified based on the duration of symptoms into acute phase and a chronic phase.[1]
Classification
Tropical sprue can be classified based on the duration of symptoms into the following:[2]
- Acute phase: It is seen in visitors to tropical regions present with insidious onset, acute diarrhea with abdominal pain, nausea, and flatulence. Systemic symptoms such as fever, myalgia, and weakness may be present.
- Chronic phase: It is usually seen in resident population in the endemic regions. They present with diarrhea and symptoms of vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies which include stomatitis, glossitis and anemia. This takes 2 to 4 years of duration to develop.
