From 2012 to 2017, we visited two rural areas of Eastern Cambodia for medical volunteering missions, Cham Lak and Khsoem. Neither area has electricity or public water. We classified the common cases encountered during missions into six groups (upper respiratory infection, gastroenteritis, vaginitis and\/or cystitis, dermatitis, work-related pain and parasite prevention) and assessed the distribution. In Cham Lak and Khsoem, 558 and 371 people were treated, respectively. The most commonly encountered cases in children under age of 18 were upper respiratory infection, followed by parasite control and dermatitis, in both areas. There was no significant difference in distribution between the two areas. For adults, the most common illnesses in Cham Lak area were vaginitis and\/or cystitis, followed by gastroenteritis and work-related pain. In Khsoem area, the common illnesses were work-related pain followed by gastroenteritis, and upper respiratory infection. The distribution between the two areas differed significantly (p &lt;0.001). The difference might be due to the water source and main crops of agriculture. Successful preparation of a medical volunteering needs deep understanding of the destination community.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/med-2018-0044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,1]],"date-time":"2018-08-01T00:09:29Z","timestamp":1533082169000},"page":"285-293","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Common illnesses in tropical Asia and significance of medical volunteering"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chai Hong","family":"Rim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology , Ansan Hospital , Korea University College of Medicine , Ansan , Gyeonggi-do , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chang Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korean Missionary Society , Seoul , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Young Soo","family":"Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology , Guro Hospital , Korea University College of Medicine , Seoul , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rinet","family":"Aieng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imfirmary of Navy , Sihanoukville , Cambodia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sung Yeon","family":"Jun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ansan Hospital , Korea University College of Medicine , Ansan , Gyeonggi-do , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sung Hun","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine , Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital , College of Medicine , Ilsan , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae Suk","family":"Rim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery , Guro Hospital , 148 Gurodong-ro, Guro 2-dong, Guro-gu , Seoul , 08308 , Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022042708342992234_j_med-2018-0044_ref_001_w2aab3b7d242b1b6b1ab2b2b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Min J.
