Using the GeoSentinel database, an analysis of ill patients returning from throughout sub-Saharan Africa over a 13-year period was performed. Systemic febrile illness, dermatologic, and acute diarrheal illness were the most common syndromic groupings, whereas spotted fever group rickettsiosis was the most common individual diagnosis for travelers to South Africa. In contrast to the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, only six cases of malaria were documented in South Africa travelers. Vaccine-preventable diseases, typhoid, hepatitis A, and potential rabies exposures were uncommon in South Africa travelers. Pre-travel advice for the travelers to the 2010 World Cup should be individualized according to these findings.
利用 GeoSentinel 数据库，对过去 13 年中从撒哈拉以南非洲各地返回的患病旅行者进行了分析。全身性发热性疾病、皮肤病和急性腹泻病是最常见的综合征分类，而斑点热群立克次体病是前往南非旅行者最常见的单一诊断。与撒哈拉以南非洲其他地区不同，在南非旅行者中仅记录到 6 例疟疾。在南非旅行者中，疫苗可预防疾病、伤寒、甲型肝炎和潜在的狂犬病暴露并不常见。根据这些发现，应针对前往 2010 年世界杯的旅行者提供个性化的旅行前建议。
