Abstract		Elderly people, patients with chronic diseases and immunocompromised patients belong to a high-risk group of travellers. A review of risk factors and recommendations for safe travel is given for the elderly, patients with diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular diseases, chronic lung diseases or renal diseases, as well as for patients immunocompromised due to transplantation, asplenia, malignancy, HIV infection or corticosteroid therapy. Air travel, immunisations and absolute contraindications for this category of travellers are specifically addressed.
