Going abroad is considered to be a risk for acute complications in @entity1 with @entity3458 ( @entity3458 ). Our objective was to describe the risk in our cohort of adult @entity3458 @entity1 . Complications occurring during a trip were recorded from adults with @entity3458 seen at a routine visit in a referral centre and during hospitalizations for acute complications. One hundred and eight @entity1 participated; mean age=26.8 (   SD 7.3; range 18-56) years. Eighty-two @entity1 travelled in the previous year, half of them in Africa. Among @entity1 going to endemic areas, 68% of @entity1 received chemoprophylaxis against @entity311 . Health problems occurred in 53 (65%) travellers: @entity432 ( @entity432 ) (68%), fever (19%), @entity294 (19%), broncho-pulmonary symptoms (11%), @entity10 (8%), @entity391 (6%), and cutaneous wound (4%). Sixteen @entity1 required hospitalization; no specific infection was diagnosed. The prevalence of @entity432 during the trip was higher than the frequency of @entity432 during the year before. @entity1 who developed severe complications were not the most symptomatic @entity1 from @entity3458 . Our study showed that going abroad is associated with a large number of acute complications in adults with @entity3458 . Complications were mostly @entity432 , and severity was unpredictable.
