title: Imported tropical respiratory tract infections.
abstract: As the trends in travel continue to rise, travelers are exposed increasingly to a variety of infectious diseases, either by virtue of their chosen geographic destination or as a result of underlying immunosuppressive disease. Little has been published regarding imported tropical respiratory diseases. This article, however, reviews the incidence of respiratory disease both by destination and by travel-related risk groups and factors.
