Hi Micheal,
I am wondering if we should cross post this message that has come from Ozbug as I think it is quite timely and educational.
Many will be aware of the ongoing cases of measles in returned travellers from Bali.
Please note the following health advisory from Victoria’s Acting Chief Health Officer released today – http://health.vic.gov.au/chiefhealthofficer/advisories/advisory-2013-11-measles-bali.htm
With a number of recent healthcare-associated transmissions, it may be timely to revisit the triage of returned travellers with fever and rash with our ED colleagues to avoid long shared waiting area stays.
Kind Regards
