Vector-borne viral infections may affect travelers, usually with systemic symptoms, but eye disease may be the first presenting feature. A spectrum of manifestations have been described with dengue, chikungunya and Zika infections, including conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis, posterior uveitis with chorioretinitis and macular involvement. <em>Staphylococcus</em> spp, <em>Streptococcus</em> spp, and <em>Pseudomonas</em> spp (especially associated with use of contact lenses) are common causes of keratitis, however, resistance patterns to antimicrobials might vary depending on area of travel. Less frequent infections, such as <em>Burkholderia pseudomallei</em>, associated with environmental exposure, and <em>Bartonella</em> spp. may rarely present with ophthalmological involvement in travelers. Fungal ocular infections, especially after ocular trauma caused by plants and contact lens use, should be considered in patients with stromal keratitis not improving with antibiotic eye drops. Parasitic eye infections tend to occur in tropical areas, but some, such as acanthamoebic keratitis or <em>Toxoplasma</em> spp retinitis, are found worldwide. Increasing exposure to animals, undercooked food consumption or poor hygiene during international travels might be leading to the emergence of certain parasitic eye diseases.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Clinical features, with identification of risk factors and geographical region of exposure, can assist in the definitive diagnosis of imported ophthalmological infections. Management of imported eye infections requires a multi-disciplinary approach involving ophthalmologists, travel medicine/infectious diseases physicians and other specialists.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23312,"journal":{"name":"Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 102789"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142740237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vaccinations are vital in reducing the risk and spread of diseases during this event. This narrative review examines the impact of vaccination programs on infectious disease mitigation during the Hajj and their broader implications for global health security (GHS). Mandatory vaccination protocols against Meningococcal Meningitis, Yellow Fever, Influenza, pneumococcal diseases, and COVID-19 have demonstrated significant success in controlling infection spread during Hajj. Furthermore, the integration of digital health passports or similar technologies offers the potential to enhance surveillance, streamline vaccination verification, and further minimize risks associated with mass gatherings. This study demonstrates the critical role of vaccination programs in protecting pilgrims. It also explores how technologies can be used to monitor pilgrim health status, enabling rapid identification and mitigation of potential outbreaks, thus contributing to GHS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23312,"journal":{"name":"Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 102784"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
