3 THE CONTINUUM OF TRAVEL MEDICINE Pre Travel Contingency Preventive Medicine During Travel Planning Treatment & Rehabilitation Visitors Post Travel OBTAINING A HISTORY OF THE RETURNING TRAVELER WITH FEVER HISTORY Day by day itinerary Visits with relatives or friends while abroad (Was anyone ill?) Vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis Other drugs taken while or since traveling Immune status (diabetes, glucocorticoid treatment, renal failure, splenectomy, diseases associated with immune deficit) Consumption of unclean water, unpasteurized milk, or improperly cooked or raw food Exposure to fresh water (rafting, kayaking, swimming in rivers or lakes, floods) Skin contact with soil (e.g., walkingbarefoot) Tattoos, piercings, intravenous drug use, or medical procedures (e.g., injections and blood product transfusions) Sexual contact, specifically unprotected sex with a new partner, commercial sex workers, or multiple partners Insect or animal bites Close contact with animals or wild or pet birds Thwaites GE, Day NPJ.

5 Laboratory Tests & Images Complete blood count Complete metabolic panel Thick and thin blood films to screen for malaria (3 times over 24 hours) Dip stick malaria assay, if availableurinalysis and urine culture Blood, stool and other body fluid/tissues cultures Smear for fecal leukocytes Microscopic examination of stool for ova and parasites HIV test Serology testing (e.g., dengue, brucellosis, leishmaniasis, amebiasis or other parasites, etc.), PCR testing.

10 A 21 year old female presents to your ED with fever and chills for 10 days She complains of fatigue, headache, malaise and crampy abdominal pain. She is more constipated than usual. She has no past medical history. She has recently traveled to Peru. All immunizations are up to date. In Peru, she stayed in homes and mostly urban areas, but also went hiking. She took malaria prophylaxis before and after the trip, but may have missed 1 2 doses. Her vital signs are: Temp 38.2 C, BP 115/60, HR 43 bpm, Oxygen saturation 98%. On exam, appears well. Her GCS is 15 and her neck is supple. Her abdomen is slightly distended, with mild diffuse tenderness, but no peritoneal signs. Her CBC is normal, she has mildly elevated liver enzymes.

11 Classsic Symptoms Relative bradycardia is often described % constipation can be seen in patients. Look for rose spots on the trunk and extremities salmon colored, blanching, maculopapules usually 1 4 cm wide and fewer than 5 in number which generally resolve within 2 5 days. Presentation Divided into 3 weeks: Week 1: diffuse abdominal pain and tenderness, constipation, dry cough, frontal headache, delirium, and an increasingly stuporous malaise Week 2: Rose spots, progression of GI symptoms with abdominal distension, relative bradycardia Week 3: weight loss, conjunctival injection, tachypnea, thready plulse, crackles over the lung bases, pea soup diarrhea, apathy, confusion, and even psychosis, peritonitis SUMMARY SLIDES FEVER IN THE RETURNING TRAVELER CLINICAL SYNDROMES Fever, rash, arthalgia (FAR) Arboviral infections: dengue, zika, mayaro, chikungunya <10 days Fever, rash, sore throat, lymphadenopathy HIV seroconversion illness EBV Streptococcal pharyngitis Fever + jaundice Hepatitis Yellow Fever Malaria Hepatic abscess Amebic Bacterial

N Engl J Med 2017;376:

13 SERIOUS TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTIONS IN FEBRILE RETURNING TRAVELERS GUIDELINES FOR THE EVALUATION OF NON FOCAL FEVER IN THE RETURNED TRAVELER ALWAYS consider mundane causes such as urinary tract and upper respiratory tract infections. DO NOT forget to consider non travel related causes: Fever may have nothing to do with the trip If the incubation period appears to be short (less than 21 days) Majority of patients will have malaria, typhoid fever, or dengue fever. Rickettsial diseases (also a short incubation period) are becoming more frequent causes of fever in returned travelers. Thwaites GE, Day NPJ. N Engl J Med 2017;376: GUIDELINES FOR THE EVALUATION OF NON FOCAL FEVER IN THE RETURNED TRAVELER If the incubation period appears to be long (more than 21 days) Majority of patients will have malaria or tuberculosis. Consider hepatitis A in unimmunized patients. Consult with an ID subspecialist early if the patient is particularly ill or has altered mental status. Although meningococcemia and viral hemorrhagic fevers are highly uncommon, consider these diagnoses, because they are medical emergencies.
