International travel can result in new illness or exacerbate existing conditions, and primary care clinicians have the opportunity to provide both pre- and posttravel health care. Providers should be familiar with destination-specific disease risks, be knowledgeable about travel and routine vaccines, be prepared to prescribe chemoprophylaxis and self-treatment regimens, and be aware of travel medicine resources.
国际旅行可能导致新的疾病或使现有疾病恶化,初级保健临床医生有机会提供旅行前和旅行后的医疗保健。提供者应熟悉特定目的地的疾病风险,了解旅行和常规疫苗,准备好开出处方预防药物和自我治疗方案,并了解旅行医学资源。
