| After you return from travel, you should make a post-travel appointment with your Kelsey-Seybold Travel Clinic if... - you have spent three months or more in rural areas of the developing world, or in an area where Malaria is present.
- you were told that you had or were suspected to have Malaria.
- you have Malaria signs and symptoms: fever, chills, muscleache, headache during the first two months of your return from an area where malaria is prevalent.
- you were treated or hospitalized for any medical illness.
- you continue to have any unusual ongoing symptoms.
- your activities while overseas exposed you to increased health risks (e.g. health care workers, veterinarians, spelunkers, archaeologists).
| Health Tip: Some diseases such as Malaria may not become apparent until after you return from your trip. You may require a post-travel check-up. Visit your doctor or Kelsey-Seybold Travel Clinic immediately if you develop any signs of illness, especially within the first two months of your return. |
