Algorithms: Assessing Fever Risk in Returning Traveler
In the U.S., viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are rare but can be deadly. Most patients presenting in U.S. healthcare facilities do not have VHFs, but early symptoms of these diseases can be similar to other febrile illnesses. Take proper infection prevention precautions and systematically assess patients for the possibility of VHFs through a triage and evaluation process. Use the tools below to help guide you through this process.
