title: [Travelers' hepatitis].
abstract: The growth of international tourism has increased the risk of diseases imported from abroad. Travel in developing countries involves a not inconsiderable risk, particularly of contracting hepatitis A. The risk of B or non A non B hepatitis is less marked, but the prognostic significance is more serious. The incidence, diagnosis and significance of the various types of "traveller's hepatitis", and the possibility of prevention, are discussed.
