As many Koreans now travel abroad, they are at increased risk for a variety of infectious diseases that are endemic to developing countries in the tropics and subtropics. We report two cases of co-infection with Giardia lamblia and Salmonella species not susceptible to nalidixic acid, after travel abroad.
