BACKGROUND: @entity778 is an increasingly important cause of imported @entity221 , but many cases remain unrecognised. This study reviews the clinical features of @entity779 in @entity1 seen at a regional department of @entity281 and tropical medicine. SUBJECTS: All @entity1 with @entity779 presenting to the Department of Infection and Tropical Medicine in Leicester over a three year period. RESULTS: The diagnosis of @entity779 was confirmed in 15 @entity1 . The age range of @entity1 was 19-61 years, and 80% were immigrants returning from a visit to their country of origin. In 11 (73%) @entity1 , @entity281 was associated with travel to India; others had gone to South-east Asia, Barbados and Uganda. All @entity1 presented within three weeks of their return to the United Kingdom. The clinical manifestations of @entity281 were often non-specific. They included @entity221 , @entity390 , @entity10 , @entity16700 and @entity294 ; 5 (33%) @entity1 had a macular @entity1910 . @entity882 was seen in 7 (47%) @entity1 , but only one had evidence of @entity7643 . @entity281 was confirmed by serology in 14 (93%) @entity1 . In one, @entity35794 was identified by polymerase chain reaction, and the virus was subsequently isolated in tissue culture. CONCLUSIONS: @entity778 should be considered in all febrile travellers who have recently returned from areas where the disease is endemic and in whom tests for @entity311 are negative.

Don't forget dengue! Clinical features of XXXX in returning travellers.
