Approach to Fever in the Returning Traveler

To the Editor: The review article by Thwaites and Day (Feb. 9 issue)1 provides comprehensive and concise information regarding the countless causes of fever in the returning traveler. For clinicians who are less familiar with travel-related pathology, however, it is important to highlight that approximately 90% of the febrile tropical illnesses are due to a rather limited set of infections, including malaria, dengue, rickettsial infection, enteric fever, and recently chikungunya fever and Zika virus infection.2,3.
