Travel medicine may be defined as the area of medicine that deals with the prevention and management of health problems among international travellers. While travel-related illnesses may represent a wide range of infectious and noninfectious threats, travel medicine is frequently associated with individuals travelling to low-income tropical countries. As a result, immunization, chemoprophylaxis against malaria and other infectious diseases, and recommendations for preventive behaviours to reduce the risk for high-risk environmental, food and sexual exposures are key themes.
