Evaluating Risk Factors: Recent Tropical Travel
Evaluating your likely current (and near future) state of health means taking into account the risk factors — such as your most recent visit to the tropics — that affect you. Our medical diagnosis tool, The Analyst™, identifies major risk factors by asking the right questions.

The Diagnostic Process
Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either recent visit(s) to the tropics or very recent visit(s) to the tropics, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as Malaria. Any traveler who becomes ill with a fever or flu-like illness while traveling and up to 1 year after returning home should immediately seek professional medical care. They should tell their health care provider that they have been traveling in a malaria-risk area.Concerned or curious about your health? Try The Analyst™
