Join ICHS for this webinar where we will present a case-based approach to evaluating immunocompromised travelers returning from South America, the Middle East, and Asia, with syndromes such as fever, rash, skin lesions, etc, focusing on locally prevalent arbovirus infections, bacterial and parasitic infections.
Participants will review region-specific and country-specific epidemiologic risks, differential diagnoses, practical approaches to diagnosis in non-endemic settings, treatment, and prevention.
Emphasis will be placed on how clinical presentation, diagnosis, prevention, and management of these travel-related infections might differ in immunocompromised populations (SOT/HCT/B-cell depletion) compared with immunocompetent travelers.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic approach to key travel-related infections in immunocompromised travelers returning from South America, the Middle East, and Asia, with consideration of specific immunocompromised populations
- Develop region-specific differential diagnoses for fever and common post-travel syndromes.
- Apply evidence-based strategies for prevention, diagnostic evaluation, and management of travel-associated infections in immunocompromised.
Join us for an informative session specifically tailored for healthcare professionals working with immunocompromised patients.
