Sumario:In view of globalization and the associated transport of goods as well as rising travel activity, imported infections with subtropical and tropical pathogens are increasing in Germany. In returning travelers presenting with fever, general symptoms and skin rash, a number of diseases need to be considered. The clinical appearance of the skin rash, accurate travel history and epidemiological information on country-specific risks are helpful in making the correct diagnosis. In this article we provide an overview of the most common exanthemas in travelers who have returned, associated symptoms, diagnostic methods, therapies, as well as prevention strategies.
