In 2018, 806 tuberculosis (TB) patients were notified in the Netherlands, which was the second lowest number recorded since notification became mandatory in 1980; only 2017 had fewer notified cases (n=783) [1]. In this century, TB notification rates in the Netherlands declined by 50%, from 9.3 patients per 100 000 population in 2001 (1492 patients) to 4.7 per 100 000 in 2018. In 2018, 77% of the TB patients were born outside the Netherlands. Screening all prisoners in low-incidence countries is not effective. Screening data can help to direct screening activities. Continuity of tuberculosis treatment and care is a major concern in prisoners after their release from prison. http://bit.ly/2rzn5l8

在低发病率国家对监狱中的人进行选择性结核病筛查

2018 年，荷兰通报了 806 名结核病 (TB) 患者，这是自 1980 年强制通报以来记录的第二低数字；只有 2017 年的通报病例较少（n=783）[1]。在本世纪，荷兰的结核病通报率下降了 50%，从 2001 年的每 10 万人口 9.3 例（1492 名患者）下降到 2018 年的每 10 万人口 4.7 例。2018 年，77% 的结核病患者出生在荷兰以外. 在低发病率国家筛查所有囚犯是无效的。筛查数据有助于指导筛查活动。结核病治疗和护理的连续性是囚犯出狱后的一个主要问题。http://bit.ly/2rzn5l8
