[Travel medicine].
Intercontinental travel is a source of problems concerning health. This type of travel involves an increasing number of persons of different ages and conditions. It is increasingly frequent and reaches for destinations which are still more distant. The study of the prevention and of the treatment of these problems, which are not infectious in the highest number of cases, has led to the appearance of "Travel Medicine", which is increasingly being organised. A number of problems, which are hardly if at all studied in other disciplined, come under this heading.
