AB Of  returning  travelers  who  become  ill,  many  have  neither  serious  nor  exotic  illnesses.1  The  most  likely  causes  of  acute  symptoms  are  common  problems  such  as  upper  respiratory  infections,  diarrheal  illnesses,  or  reactions  to  stress,  fatigue,  or  new  medications.  The  ED  physician  often  does  not  confirm  the  final  diagnosis,  but  rather  protects  the  health  of  the  public  from  potentially  communicable  diseases,  begins  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  interventions,  and  provides  appropriate  referral.  Local  or  regional  international  health  clinics  are  good  resources  for  referral  of  patients  who  need  more  advanced  evaluation,  serologic  testing,  and  long-term  follow-up  (see  http://www.travelersvaccines.com/).
