While there are many studies assessing fever and diarrheal syndromes in returned travellers, there is very little data regarding the spectrum of neurological syndromes in returned travellers, their clinical manifestations and management. Laboratory diagnosis in these infections/syndromes also continues to be challenging. This is a case based workshop which will elucidate the various clinical neurological syndromes in returned travellers, their lab diagnosis and clinical manifestations.

OBJECTIVES:
• Describe the challenges in the diagnosis of CNS infections in the returned travellers.
• Expand on novel diagnostic techniques now available for rapid diagnosis of CNS infections.
• Recognise and manage infectious and non-infectious neurological syndromes encountered in returned travellers.
