Abstract:
The cornerstones of a travel health consultation are: information, advice on anti-mosquito measures, vaccinations, malaria chemoprophylaxis and guidelines for presumptive treatment. The art of travel medicine is the ability to focus on the realistic health needs of the traveller whilst leaving aside superfluous information. In this way, unnecessary adverse events, expenses and patient anxiety can be avoided.
