In European Union/European Economic Area countries, a large proportion of patients with tuberculosis (TB) are born in or are citizens of a country different from the notifying country [1]. Immigrants have an increased risk for TB, depending on the TB incidence in their country of origin, conditions of their migration and duration of stay in the host country [2]. In low TB-incidence countries, systematic screening of immigrants at high risk for TB pre- or post-entry may be considered a key intervention in the progress towards TB elimination [3, 4]. However, current screening policies and practices in European low-incidence countries differ substantially [5, 6]. Evaluation of TB screening needed to periodically assess its effectiveness and inform policy decision http://ow.ly/F8zQ30f7l9D

荷兰移民结核病筛查评估

在欧盟/欧洲经济区国家，很大比例的结核病 (TB) 患者出生在与通报国不同的国家，或者不是通报国的公民[1]。移民患结核病的风险增加，这取决于其原籍国的结核病发病率、移民条件和在东道国的逗留时间[2]。在结核病发病率低的国家，在入境前或入境后对结核病高危移民进行系统筛查可能被认为是消除结核病进展中的一项关键干预措施 [3, 4]。然而，欧洲低发病率国家目前的筛查政策和做法存在很大差异 [5, 6]。定期评估其有效性并为政策决策提供信息所需的结核病筛查评估 http://ow.ly/F8zQ30f7l9D
