Abstract
The syndrome of fever and rash in the returning traveller presents a diagnostic challenge that requires a thorough history with special attention to travel and exposures alongside physical examination to distinguish between infectious and non-infectious causes. The most common febrile illnesses that present with a rash in the returning traveller are arboviral infections (dengue, Chikungunya, Zika) and tick-borne infections (rickettsioses).
