Abstract:
:Recreation, globalization, migration, and families visiting friends and relatives (VFRs) overseas have increased the frequency of international travel and potential exposures to tropical diseases. Young infected patients can present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians when they return to Canada, with significant consequences if untreated. High-quality guidelines for screening and diagnosis exist, but care providers need to know where to access them. This practice point highlights key points in the management of fever in the returning child traveller and provides links to detailed resources on this topic.
