摘要：
The screening of travelers returning from developing countries represents a significant portion of the activity of many tropical disease clinics. The cost and benefits of this activity has not received sufficient attention. This article addresses the context of posttravel screening, the infections with which this screening process is presently preoccupied, and the accuracy of available screening tests. Recommendations for improvement of posttravel screening are suggested.
