Abstract

Responding to a surge in new tuberculosis (TB) cases among migrants from high-incidence countries, low-incidence European nations have heeded World Health Organization recommendations by implementing TB screening in this population. This review aims to synthesise evidence on current screening strategies for active TB and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in European high-income countries, and their main barriers and interventions. PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were searched from March to April 2023, including articles in English, published in the last decade, pertaining to screening strategies for active TB or LTBI in Europe focused on migrants, excluding those exclusively composed of refugees, asylum seekers or other migrant populations. 32 studies fit the criteria. Screening in migrants varies between countries regarding timing, population, screening location and diagnosis. Furthermore, some barriers prevent migrants from benefiting from screening, namely physical, cultural and professional barriers. Additional research is needed to determine the patterns through which regular migrants adhere to current screening strategies in European countries.

欧洲移民人口中的结核病筛查:对当前做法的范围审查。
为应对来自高发国家的移民中结核病(TB)新病例激增的情况,低发病率的欧洲国家采纳了世界卫生组织的建议,对这些人群实施了结核病筛查。本综述旨在综合欧洲高收入国家当前活动性肺结核和潜伏肺结核感染(LTBI)筛查策略的证据,以及这些策略的主要障碍和干预措施。本综述在 2023 年 3 月至 4 月期间对 PubMed、Web of Science 和 Scopus 进行了检索,包括过去十年间发表的有关欧洲活动性肺结核或潜伏肺结核感染筛查策略的英文文章,重点关注移民,但不包括完全由难民、寻求庇护者或其他移民组成的人群。有 32 项研究符合标准。各国对移民的筛查在时间、人群、筛查地点和诊断方面各不相同。此外,一些障碍(即身体、文化和专业障碍)也阻碍了移民从筛查中受益。需要进行更多的研究,以确定欧洲国家的常规移民遵守现行筛查策略的模式。
