[The challenges of surgical tourism in the field of aesthetic surgery].

CONCLUSION: The high rate of multidrug-resistant and mycobacterial atypical infections are a major public health problem. It is necessary to inform patients much better about the risks of surgical tourism. Furthermore, the danger of transfer of multidrug-resistant or atypical germs from abroad should not be overlooked. Physicians should be informed about this risk and take necessary measures for treatment and diagnosis of these complications. PMID: 31280881 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
