Complications & Infections
When outside of the US, individuals can acquire a wide range of illnesses. These can vary from common conditions such as traveler's diarrhea to severe, high-consequence infectious diseases. The risk all depends on the destination, type of travel, and how well the individuals follow given safety and health measures.
Complications
Procedures performed outside the US can carry an increased risk of infection due to different safety and sterilization standards in other countries. This can result in serious complications that can be life-threatening. These outbreaks include and are not limited to: fungal meningitis, antibiotic-resistant MRSA, C. Diff, and C. Auris, which require intensive and specialized treatment in the US. Some of these illnesses can never be eliminated from the body and cause lifelong health issues.
