Rabies Vaccine and Rabies Immunoglobulin in Cambodia: Use and Obstacles to Use
ConclusionsLocal populations and travelers cannot be sure to locally access adequate and timely PEP due to high costs and low access to RIG. Travelers to high‐endemic areas such as Cambodia are strongly encouraged to undergo pre‐exposure vaccination or seek expert advice, as per World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. State‐subsidized, pre‐positioned stocks of human vaccine and RIG in bite management centers would extend the rabies prevention centers network. Support from Institut Pasteur du Cambodge for staff training, cold chain, and quality control would contribute to reducing the risk of rabies deaths ...

Severe Toxic Skin Reaction Caused by a Common Anemone and Identification of the Culprit Organism
In a marine envenomation, identification of the culprit organism can be difficult. In this case report, we present our method to identify snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis or formerly Anemonia sulcata) as the culprit of a severe toxic skin reaction. A. viridis is one of the most common anemones of the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. It lives at a depth of up to 10 m. It is a member of the phylum Cnidaria, which includes jellyfish, anemones, hydroids, and corals. They have toxic organelles called cnidocysts that have the capacity to inject venom with microscopic harpoon‐like structures. The cnidocysts o...

Concurrent Infection With Dengue Type 4 and Plasmodium falciparum Acquired in Haiti
We report one laboratory‐confirmed coinfection by dengue type 4 and Plasmodium falciparum imported to Spain from Haiti. Diagnosis was made by real‐time polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR), serology, quantitative buffy coat, and thick blood smear. In areas where both infections are present, diagnosis of both diseases should be considered because a delay in the treatment of malaria could be fatal. (Source: Journal of Travel Medicine)

Inflight Emergencies During Eurasian Flights
ConclusionMost of the urgent cases encountered during flights can be facilitated with basic medical support. “Traumatic emergency procedures inflight medical care” would be useful for additional training. Medical professionals as passengers are significantly involved in encountered emergency situations. Adding automated external defibrillator and pulse oximetry to recommended kits and training can help facilitate staff decisions such as emergency landings and tele‐assistance.

General Practitioners' Perception of Risk for Travelers Visiting Friends and Relatives
ConclusionsMultilingual GPs are a valuable resource to reducing language and cultural barriers to healthcare. Targeted education of this subgroup of GPs may assist in promoting pre‐travel health assessments for VFR travelers. Awareness of the need for opportunistic targeting of migrants for pre‐travel consultation through routine identification of future travel is needed. (Source: Journal of Travel Medicine)

Travelers With Chikungunya Virus Infection Returning to Northwest Italy From the Caribbean and Central America During June–November 2014
We report a case series of seven imported CHIKV infections in travelers returning from the Caribbean and Latin America occurring between June and November 2014, in the area of Turin, Northwest Italy, 3 years after the last imported cases were reported. These cases are a reminder of the need to always consider CHIKV infection in travelers from these epidemic areas as well as the importance of a prompt diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Travel Medicine)
