  • Title: The returning traveler with fever.
    Author: Saxe SE, Gardner P.
    Journal: Infect Dis Clin North Am; 1992 Jun; 6(2):427-39. PubMed ID: 1624786.
    Abstract:
    The febrile returning traveler tests a clinician's knowledge of tropical medicine as well as skills in differential diagnosis. A thorough history with special emphasis placed on the patient's travel itinerary and knowledge of the geographic location and incubation times of certain tropical diseases will narrow the diagnostic possibilities. This will allow the clinician to focus the diagnostic work-up and make wise choices of laboratory tests and procedures.
