AB Of  returning  travelers  who  become  ill,  many  have  neither  serious  nor  exotic  illnesses.1  In  a  study  evaluating  82,825  returning  travelers  seen  in  global  travel  clinics  between  1996  and  2011,  only  4.4%  (3655)  of  the  cases  involved  acute,  tropical,  potentially  life-threatening  causes  of  illness.2  The  initial  task  is  to  separate  the  more  common  causes  of  symptoms,  such  as  upper  respiratory  infections,  diarrheal  illnesses,  reactions  to  stress,  fatigue,  or  new  medications,  from  more  ominous  causes  of  illness  in  travelers.
