    AbstractSerious waterborne and wilderness infections are common and usually treatable if diagnosed early. The differential diagnosis for these infections requires a careful and thorough history and physical examination. Common clinical presentations include acute febrile illnesses, altered mental status, diarrhea, or pneumonia. Pathogens causing serious infections include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Epidemiologic help can be obtained from local or state health departments as well as the Centers for Disease Control.
