title: [Treatment of diseases acquired abroad].
abstract: Most imported diseases can be well treated-provided the diagnosis is made in due time. For example, only the rapid and correctly performed treatment of falciparum malaria can impede severe complications and save the patient's life. Effective treatments for amebiasis, giardiasis, leishmaniasis and worm diseases are available. However, it has to be mentioned that evidence from clinical trials is often insufficient. Accordingly only few international guidelines for imported diseases exist.
