We have files of 9 soldiers that have been in Kosovo and Bosnia with intestinal problems, vomits, diarrhea, depletion and various hemorrhages. In some cases these symptoms appear with stomach problems, kidney and skin deseases, waiting for the result of biopsys.
Maybe this information is not very precise and complete , but i will try to obtain more details.
