Preparing the TravelerAsking the Right Questions
UNCLASSIFIED Slide 12
Asking the Right QuestionsWho, Where, When, Why and What?
• Who is the host / traveler?– Immunologic background, medical problems, etc.
• Where are they going?– Geographic region, known threats.
• When are they going?– Seasonal variations in disease threat epidemiology
• Why are they going there and what will they do?– Defines likely exposure risks– Defines required prophylaxis / PPMs
• Know what you do not know. Look it up. Seek consultation.

Key Elements of the Consult• • Patient History
– When did it start– Patient symptoms now?– Getting better? Worse? Staying the same? Spreading?– Previous treatments and outcomes?– Laboratory tests results (if any)?– Your Dx / DDx– Your question
• Limitations you have in managing the patient

UNCLASSIFIED Slide 21
Key Elements of the Consult• • Patient Demographics
– Age– Gender– Branch of service (if not MIL, state their nationality)– Identify if contractor, detainee, foreign military, etc.
• Include digital images if appropriate • PDFs of EKGs• JPEGs of radiographs• Copies of laboratory and pathology reports
• Do not send any patient identifying info(HIPAA applies)

UNCLASSIFIED Slide 45
Vaccination
• Confirm up to date routine vaccinations for adults– Documentation or considered susceptible
• Confirm past travel related vaccination history
• Calculate risk: benefit ratio– Disease threat versus vaccine adverse event
• Consider special populations– Pregnant, immunosuppressed, known allergic past rxns
• Remember – Diseases extinct in the US, alive and well in other locations (examples: polio, measles, etc.)

UNCLASSIFIED Slide 49
Risk of Traveler’s Diarrhea
UNCLASSIFIED Slide 50
Traveler’s Diarrhea (TD)
• Attack rates range from 30% to 70% of travelers• Clinical syndrome from a variety of intestinal pathogens
– Bacterial pathogens are the predominant risk (80%–90%)– Viruses have been isolated (5%–8%), Norovirus may > %– Protozoal pathogens (10%), longer-term travelers
• Bacteria– Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (#1), Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella spp.,
and Salmonella spp. Enteroadherent and other E. coli species are also common. Aeromonas spp. and Plesiomonas spp. as well.
• Viral– Norovirus, rotavirus, and astrovirus.
• Protozoal– Giardia, Entamoeba histolytica and Cryptosporidium uncommon– Cyclospora (Nepal, Peru, Haiti, and Guatemala)– Dientamoeba fragilis is a low-grade but persistent pathogen
UNCLASSIFIED Slide 51
Traveler’s Diarrhea (TD)
• Prevention– Food and beverage selection
• Wash it, boil it ,cook it, peel it: reduces, does not eliminate risk– Non-antimicrobial drugs for prophylaxis
• Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol)– Not in travelers w/ aspirin allergy, renal insufficiency, or gout.– Not for use with anticoagulants, probenecid, or methotrexate. – Not generally recommended for children aged <12.– Studies have not established safety for periods >3 weeks.
– Probiotics (Lactobacillus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii)• Study results are inconclusive• Insufficient information to recommend the use of bovine colostrum
– Prophylactic Antibiotics• Diarrhea attack rates are reduced by 90% or more• At this time, prophylactic antibiotics not be recommended for most• Ease of treating diarrhea versus side effects of antibiotics

Malaria
• MALARIA KILLS SERVICE MEMBERS!
• #1 threat if you are traveling to a malarious region
• Any fever in any traveler who is in or who has been to a malarious region has malaria until proven otherwise

UNCLASSIFIED Slide 62
Vector Avoidance
• Mosquitoes, sand flies, chiggers, ticks

– Test understanding (especially malaria prophylaxis)• Anything which could impact absorption or metabolism of
chronic or prophylactic medications impacting their performance.
• All routine and travel specific vaccinations!
