摘要：
Travelers to developing regions for the purposes of visiting friends or relatives are at known increased risk for a number of travel-related illnesses, especially when compared with those traveling for other purposes. This article reviews the unique contributors to their infectious disease risks and provides recommendations for the prevention of selected high-risk illnesses. These include some diseases against which vaccination is routinely recommended during childhood, including also varicella and hepatitis A and B, as well as typhoid fever, malaria, and tuberculosis.
