    Document: Fever in the returned traveller is a common syndrome, occurring in 17% of ill returned Canadian travellers and new immigrants presenting for care after travel. 1 Although often due to self-limited infections, such as travellers' diarrhoea, fever after travel may indicate serious and potentially life-threatening causes, such as malaria, dengue or typhoid fever, as was the case in 28% of febrile returned Canadian travellers or new immigrants studied recently. 1 Fever in the returned traveller is necessarily encountered by frontline Canadian practitioners such as family physicians, walk-in physicians and emergency department (ED) physicians who do not specialise in infectious diseases. Thus, standardised management protocols, algorithms and guidelines are needed to assist in the management of this commonly imported syndrome.
