Returning from Travel Abroad

After routine travel for short amounts of time, a medical examination is usually not necessary. However, in certain circumstances, it is advisable to be seen by your physician. There is always the possibility that a person who has been traveling has contracted an unusual disease - some with symptoms that do not become evident until many months following exposure (i.e., malaria). Consult your physician for more information.

When traveling internationally one should stay well informed of the occurrence of disease outbreaks and travel warnings in your destination. The Centers for Disease Control issues several types of notices for international travelers. These are available on the Travelers Health home page on the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/travel/ .
