Abstract: | Liver disease is an important source of morbidity among ill returning travelers. Jaundice is one of the most common and obvious symptoms of liver disease, the differential diagnosis of which is extensive, especially in travelers. Jaundice in travelers can arise from both infectious and noninfectious causes. We herein summarize the most common parasitic etiologies that may lead to jaundice in the returned traveler, visitors of friends and relatives, or new immigrants, and describe the etiology, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of clinical features of each. |
