While exposure to hyperendemic regions remains a risk factor for developing a DM infection, clinicians should consider testing any patient presenting with a compatible clinical syndrome, regardless of their geographic history. Increased suspicion of DM infection will lead to fewer missed or delayed diagnoses, thereby improving patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
