Abstract		Patients with chronic illnesses, elderly people and immunocompromised persons belong to the high risk group of travelers. A review of risk factors and recommendations for safe travel is given for patients with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung and renal disease and elderly travellers. Pretravel advice is also given for the immunocompromised patient due to malignant disease, transplantation, asplenia and HN infection. Air travel, immunizations and absolute contraindications for travel in these travellers were especially addressed.
