Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction to atovaquone/proguanil
Atovaquone/proguanil is frequently prescribed among travellers to malaria-endemic areas. Side effects most commonly include headaches and gastrointestinal symptoms. Nevertheless, physicians should be aware of possible rare severe cutaneous adverse reactions, in order to facilitate the diagnosis and interrupt the drug rapidly if suspected.
Multiple lung nodules revealing chronic pulmonary schistosomiasis
We described the case of a Guinea-Conakry patient presented with a pulmonary Schistosoma mansoni infection. Hypereosinophilia, positive serology and multiple lung nodules led us to suspect the diagnosis. However, parasitic examination of stool and urine were negative. The diagnosis was obtained thanks to specific serum PCR.

Approach to Skin Problems in Travellers: Clinical and Epidemiological Clues
Travel-related skin problems are a common reason for healthcare consultations. We present a clinical approach to diagnosing skin diseases in travellers, emphasizing clinical examination and epidemiological clues such as travel history, incubation time and at-risk behaviors.

Travel to malaria-endemic areas: using digital geo-location to assess potential exposure risks and health behaviours
Travellers frequently visit popular destinations like Brazil, India, Peru, Thailand, and Tanzania, each presenting varying malaria risks. The extent to which travellers enter high-risk malaria-endemic areas in destinations with heterogeneous malaria risk remains unclear. We used geo-location via smartphone application to (i) describe where travellers go within countries with heterogeneous malaria risk (Brazil, India, Peru, Thailand), and (ii) compare mosquito bite prevention behaviours between these destinations and Tanzania, considered entirely high-risk for malaria.
Global burden, trends, and inequalities for typhoid and paratyphoid fever among children younger than 15 years over the past 30 years
Typhoid and paratyphoid fever, collectively known as enteric fever, are systemic infections caused by Salmonella enterica and are highly prevalent in children. We aimed to describe the global burden, trends, and inequalities of enteric fever among children under 15 years from 1990 to 2019 based on data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 (GBD 2019).
