Document: Global travel is increasingly a fact of modern life, and the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 leading to lockdown across the world has demonstrated the interconnectedness of the world's population. Illness in the returning traveller can range from trivial to life-threatening, and the concept of imported infection can be an intimidating diagnostic and management challenge. An important caveat is that even if your patient has returned from cuddling multimammate rats in Guinea 1 week ago, they could be febrile from a distinctly non-tropical urinary tract infection. That said, antimicrobial resistance is an established concern among returned travellers, which has further infection control implications. And speaking of infection control issues, you should always consider the patient's possible pathogenicity to others – is there a risk of a high-consequence infectious disease, and what isolation/notification measures should you take?
