Zusammenfassung

Die meisten importierten Erkrankungen können bei rechtzeitiger Diagnose gut behandelt werden. So kann beispielsweise nur die rasch einsetzende und korrekt durchgeführte Therapie bei einer Malaria tropica schwerwiegende Komplikationen aufhalten und das Leben des Patienten retten. Wirksame antiparasitäre Substanzen stehen auch für die Amöbiasis, die Giardiasis, die Leishmaniosis und für Wurmerkrankungen zur Verfügung. Zu bedenken ist allerdings, dass die Evidenz aus klinischen Studien häufig unzureichend ist, dementsprechend gibt es international nur wenige Leitlinien.

Abstract

Most imported diseases can be well treated—provided the diagnosis is made in due time. For example, only the rapid and correctly performed treatment of falciparum malaria can impede severe complications and save the patient’s life. Effective treatments for amebiasis, giardiasis, leishmaniasis and worm diseases are available. However, it has to be mentioned that evidence from clinical trials is often insufficient. Accordingly only few international guidelines for imported diseases exist.
