"

"
4.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 09/01/2018 - "However, studies yield conflicting data regarding travel-related health problems encountered by ICTs; questioning the rationale for certain advices, and particularly the advice of on-demand antibiotics. " 09/01/2018 - "More ICTs than controls reported travel-related health problems, antibiotic use and medical visits, although not statistically significant. " 09/01/2018 - "To evaluate self-reported travel-related health problems, antibiotic use, medical visits and risk behaviours in ICTs and controls. "
5.	proguanil drug combination atovaquone (malarone)FDA Link 05/01/2003 - "Comparison with data from previous, larger atovaquone/proguanil studies shows that the adverse events reported by the long-term atovaquone/proguanil users are no different in type and frequency of occurrence to those travel-related health problems normally encountered in the Tropics. "
6.	AntiemeticsIBA 04/01/2020 - "However, one subgroup of patients, those with a known history of nausea and vomiting after opioid use or a history of travel sickness, may benefit from the use of prophylactic antiemetic when being treated with parenteral opioids." 04/01/2017 - "Prophylactic antiemetic therapy could be proposed to patients with history of travel sickness and history of nausea or vomiting in a postoperative setting or after morphine administration." 12/17/2012 - "Chemotherapy-naïve patients with non-metastatic breast cancer scheduled to receive 6 cycles of chemotherapy including at least three initial cycles of FAC 50, FEC 100 or TAC were randomized to receive standard anti-emetic treatment plus either a complex homeopathic remedy (Cocculine, registered in France for treatment of nausea and travel sickness) or the matching placebo (NCT00409071 clinicaltrials.gov). "
7.	QuinolonesIBA 01/01/2019 - "Among 1,726 travel-associated infections reported to FoodNet with antimicrobial susceptibility data in NARMS during 2004-2014, 56% of isolates were quinolone-nonsusceptible, of which most (904/960) were Campylobacter. " 07/01/2014 - "Approximately 18% of Campylobacter infections were estimated to be associated with international travel, and 60% of international travel-associated infections had a quinolone-resistant Campylobacter isolate. "
8.	Scopolamine (Hyoscine)FDA Link 10/01/2009 - "Whilst at work, the patient noticed that he had forgotten his prescribed medication, domperidone, at home; a friend gave him some travel sickness medication which contained scopolamine for relief of nausea. " 08/01/1997 - "The case report is presented of a ten-and-a-half year old boy with acute onset of confusion and visual hallucinations, subsequently confirmed to be due to hyoscine toxicity following ingestion of over-the-counter (OTC) travel sickness tablets. "
9.	RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)IBA 01/01/2018 - "Twenty-nine adults with travel-associated infection and 1 case of sexual transmission were enrolled and followed up with weekly ZIKV RNA testing in blood, urine, saliva, and semen samples and antibody testing. " 01/01/2015 - "HEV RNA was detectable in 3 of 158 cases (2%) tested, comprising autochthonic as well as travel-related infections with genotypes 1, 3, and 4 each found once, respectively. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Secondary Prevention 06/01/1998 - "Screening, predominantly a secondary prevention strategy, is most cost-effective when integrated with primary prevention strategies aimed at preventing future travel related illness (Table 6). "
2.	Therapeutics 01/01/2022 - "The challenges of antirheumatic therapy and travel-associated infections." 01/01/2022 - "As the majority of clinics offering stem cell therapies are based in low- and-middle-income countries, stem cell tourists place themselves at risk of receiving an unproven treatment, coupled with the risk of travel-related illnesses. " 04/01/2013 - "Familiarity with the clinical manifestations and treatment of travel-related infections will secure prompt and effective therapy." 05/01/2003 - "HIV-infected travellers have an increased susceptibility to opportunistic and other travel-related infections and the need for appropriate advice, vaccination and prophylactic therapy is important. " 10/23/1970 - "[Symptom genesis and therapy of travel sickness. "
3.	Chemoprevention 05/01/2005 - "Travel health advisers are engaged in the provision of pre-travel health advice, chemoprophylaxis against travel-related diseases, traveller's medical kits, and post-travel assessments and eradication treatment for various travel-related diseases. " 10/01/2004 - "In order to prevent travel-related diseases in patients infected with HIV, pretravel planning that includes vaccination, chemoprophylaxis, and behavioral modification is recommended. " 04/01/1991 - "Nevertheless, immunizations and chemoprophylaxis can reduce the risk for many travel-related infections. " 01/01/2020 - "Around 10-40% of returning travelers from all destinations and 15-70% of travelers from tropical settings experience ill health, either overseas or upon returning home.1 A systematic approach concentrating on possible infections should be undertaken based on the patient's travel location, immunization history, presence of malaria chemoprophylaxis at the destination, other potential exposures, incubation period, and clinical presentation.2-3 The World Health Organization (WHO) website is constantly being updated on specific travel-related infections and recent geographical outbreaks. " 01/01/2023 - "Perceived adverse effects of antimalarial chemoprophylaxis can be difficult to distinguish from travel-related illness and are often cited as important reasons for non-adherence or refusal of antimalarial chemoprophylaxis. "

"
5.	Contraindications 09/01/2008 - "When there are no obstetrical or medical contraindications, travel-related illness can usually be safely prevented during pregnancy in much the same ways as in the non-pregnant state." 01/01/2018 - "The complexity of pre-travel counseling in these patients lies in their greater susceptibility to certain travel-related infections and the potential severity of these, as well as in the contraindications and interactions that may occur between certain vaccines and/or prophylaxis and their base therapy.
