Description
Summary:	The health of travelers returning home from developing countries has received increased attention in recent years. Much of this attention has centered on immunizations, malaria chemoprophylaxis and treatment of traveler's diarrhea. In contrast, there are very few data on the health problems of international travelers to developed countries such as the United States. We studied the experience of two corporate medical assistance clinics established for both national and international travelers to Atlanta, Georgia during the Centennial Summer Olympic Games in 1996.
