Abstract
International travel is becoming increasingly popular with Americans, whether for business or pleasure. Approximately 10 to 15 million U.S. citizens travel abroad each year, and more than 8 million of these travel to developing nations. Travelers risk exposure to viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases not often encountered in the United States. Clients planning an international journey should be encouraged to obtain advice from their primary care practitioner. This article reviews the health care needs of the international traveler, including predeparture evaluation, required and recommended immunizations, and advice on disease-prevention measures.
