Rapid Assessment of Febrile Travellers
by Andrea Boggild
What is it about?
Fever in the returned traveler is a medical emergency warranting prompt medical attention to exclude potentially life-threatening illnesses such as malaria. However, prolonged evaluation in the Emergency Room (ER) may not be required for all patients. As a quality improvement initiative, we designed and implemented an algorithm for rapid assessment of febrile travellers (RAFT) in an ambulatory tropical medicine clinic. This application was adapted from the algorithm and also includes useful resources and links necessary for the diagnosis of tropical illnesses.
