Abstract

All over the world, it was determined that the morbidity and the mortality rates due to infection in international travels was 10% and 1%, respectively. Military personnel expose more often to infections because of their special duties when an international task force is planned and spreading of an infection is more rapid in this selected population due to their special living condition. In this review, the prophylactic measures needed to be taken for military personnel and their family members stationed for an international task are mentioned here with the coverage of many points of the matter.

Özet

Tüm dünyada uluslararası seyahatlerde enfeksiyonlara bağlı morbidite yaklaşık %10, mortalite ise %1 olarak saptanmıştır. Askeri personel, uluslar arası görevlerde, görevlerinin özelliği nedeniyle enfeksiyonlara daha sık maruz kalırlar ve yaşam koşulları nedeniyle asker populasyonunda enfeksiyonların yayılması daha hızlı olur. Bu derlemede; uluslar arası görevlere gidecek olan personel ve aile bireylerine uygulanması gereken profilaksi esasları çok yönlü olarak ele alınmıştır.
