In low risk malaria areas? Switzerland / Germany / Austria : Belgium : SBET = Standby emergency treatment Noodbehandeling Traitement d urgence Prevention d urgence??? Noodpreventie??? Is not correct, Better : Chimioprophylaxie / Chemoprofylaxe on demand Switzerland Germany Austria.SBET only since more than 10-15 years 9

Rigid USA position about e.g. Mumbai - India.but David Shlim is a wise American From: Travel Medicine Clinical Discussion List [mailto:travelmed@yorku.ca] On Behalf Of David Shlim Sent: woensdag 14 mei 2014 1:17 Subject:.. about whether to recommend malaria prophylaxis for a visitor to Mumbai and Agra in October The discussion is illustrative of one of the key unresolved issues in travel medicine. Merely knowing the risk or the potential for risk is not enough. There is a threshold of risk for some diseases that remains subjective. Is the goal of malaria prophylaxis : to prevent any possible case of malaria (as has been the thrust of CDC advice), or is it to strike a balance of protection and likelihood when the risk is very low? When one takes into account the actual likelihood of malaria, then one has to confront the concept of threshold at what level of risk is it worthwhile to recommend prophylaxis. Is it a risk of 1/1000, 1/10,000, 1/100,000, or 1/1,000,000? Rigid USA position about e.g. Mumbai - India.but David Shlim is a wise American From: Travel Medicine Clinical Discussion List [mailto:travelmed@yorku.ca] On Behalf Of David Shlim Sent: woensdag 14 mei 2014 1:17 Subject:.. about whether to recommend malaria prophylaxis for a visitor to Mumbai and Agra in October It would seem that the traveler should be a participant in making a decision about prophylaxis in circumstances that one could call minimal risk. The risk is not zero, but it is so low that some people will elect not to take prophylaxis (and some people will elect to take prophylaxis). In most of Africa, the risk of malaria is so significant that this type of discussion is not appropriate. However, in many parts of India, Central and South America, and SE Asia, it is appropriate. There may be no right answer in these situations. India is a complex risk situation, with the overall number of cases in returning travelers to US on the increase, mainly in the VFR population. However, it is difficult to find case reports of malaria that occurred in non-vfr travelers who only visited an urban area. Warmly, David David R Shlim MD President, ISTM Jackson Hole, Wyoming 12

Stop atovaquone-proguanil earlier after return? Only Exceptionally this might be an option, if the patient remains under supervision for at least 4 weeks In Israel atovaquone/proguanil may be stopped the day after return from sub- Saharan malaria-endemic region BUT.. read carefully the JTM article & the thoughtful editorial 20
