Although most of these illnesses are mild, some travelers become sick enough to seek care from a health care provider. Most posttravel infections become apparent soon after returning from abroad, but incubation periods vary, and some syndromes can present months to years after initial infection. When evaluating a patient with a probable travel-related illness, the clinician should take a thorough medical and travel history. Salient points of the history, descriptions of common nonfebrile syndromes, and initial management steps are outlined UR - https://oxfordmedicine.com/view/10.1093/med/9780190928933.001.0001/med-9780190928933-chapter-11 ER -
