Doxycycline responding illnesses in returning travellers with undifferentiated non-malaria fever: a European multicenter prospective cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of undifferentiated non-malaria fevers (NMF) in returning travellers is a great challenge. Currently, there is no consensus about the use of empirical antibiotics in returning travellers [...] travellers with undifferentiated non-malaria fevers (NMF). Although studies in endemic areas showed that a wide range of pathogens implicated in undifferentiated NMF are treatable with doxycycline, the role [...] should be considered in returning travellers with undifferentiated fever...
