Emergencies

Severe complaints after a trip

Severe complaints include:

• Fever

• Severe diarrhea

If you have a fever, you can receive treatment the same day after contacting us by phone at +32 (0)3 247 66 66.

Exposure to HIV

If you believe you have been exposed to HIV, it is important to act quickly. Treatment with antiretroviral drugs (PEP, short for post-exposure prophylaxis) reduces the risk of HIV infection. This treatment must be started within 72 hours of exposure.

Exposure to Rabies

If you were bitten by a dog, monkey, cat, or bat during your trip, it is essential to begin treatment with PEP as soon as possible. This involves a series of injections with the rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin. You can find more information about rabies on our travel medicine website, Wanda.
