Summary

Recreational users of water may be at risk of serious and potentially fatal diseases. In addition to disease with severe primary outcomes (e.g. typhoid, leptospirosis), a number of infections may lead to sequelae with seriious consequences. Susceptible populations, including people with reduced immune function or lack of immunity to locally endemic diseases (tourists, for example), are at higher risk of contracting severe illnesses.
