Imported Flood‐Related Leptospirosis From Palau: Awareness of Risk Factors Leads to Early Treatment
We describe two Japanese travelers with leptospirosis who visited Palau. Both travelers swam in Ngardmau Falls, which was flooded for two days after typhoon Phanfone. The diagnoses were confirmed by microscopic agglutination test or polymerase chain reaction. This is the first report of leptospirosis in travelers who returned from Palau. It should be noted that choosing the appropriate test to biologically confirm leptospirosis was highly time‐dependent. Awareness of the risk factors for leptospirosis, mainly that of the exposure to contaminated fresh water after a flooding, would lead to an early and appropriate treatme...

Malaria Chemoprophylaxis and Self ‐Reported Impact on Ability to Work: Mefloquine Versus Doxycycline
ConclusionsSelf‐reported symptoms were common in those that responded and, while the true background rate of adverse effects (off any medication) is unknown, doxycycline had a significantly increased rate compared with mefloquine and was associated with a greater occupational impact. Therefore, this study supports the view that, for organizations which provide malaria chemoprophylaxis to employees free of charge, mefloquine should be the first‐choice antimalarial drug where the only alternative is doxycycline.
