Enteric fever is a foodborne infectious disease caused by Salmonella enterica serotypes and A, B and C. The high incidence in low income countries can increase the risk of disease in travelers coming from high income countries. Pre-travel health advice on hygiene and sanitation practices and vaccines can significantly reduce the risk of acquiring infections. Although the majority of the cases are self-limiting, life-threatening complications can occur. Delayed diagnosis and cases of infections caused by multi-drug resistant strains can complicate the clinical management and affect the prognosis. More international efforts are needed to reduce the burden of disease in low income countries, indirectly reducing the risk of travelers in endemic settings. Surveillance activities can help monitor the epidemiology of cases caused by drug-susceptible and resistant strains.
肠热病是一种食源性传染病，由肠沙门氏菌血清型 和 A、B、C 引起。在低收入国家的高发病率可能会增加来自高收入国家旅行者患病的风险。关于卫生和环境卫生措施以及疫苗的旅行前健康建议可以显著降低感染的风险。尽管大多数病例是自限性的，但可能会发生危及生命的并发症。延迟诊断和由多药耐药菌株引起的感染病例会使临床管理复杂化，并影响预后。需要更多的国际努力来减轻低收入国家的疾病负担，从而间接降低流行地区旅行者的风险。监测活动有助于监测对药物敏感和耐药菌株引起的病例的流行病学。
