The recent opening, close to the hospital of Saint-Loup, of an application centre for foreigners who ask for a status of refugee in Switzerland gave us the opportunity, over the last two years, to evaluate 79 patients with suspected tuberculosis. Of them 67% came from sub-Saharan Africa and 25% from Eastern Europe. A bacillary tuberculosis was found in 19 cases (24%), requiring immediate treatment and a respiratory isolation of a mean duration of 18 days. In addition, 11 cases (14%) had non-bacillary tuberculosis with negative sputum smear but positive culture. This new situation led us to implement a specific strategy of hospital hygiene.
最近，在圣卢医院附近开设了一个为申请瑞士难民身份的外国人服务的申请中心，这使我们有机会在过去两年里对79名疑似肺结核患者进行评估。其中67%来自撒哈拉以南非洲，25%来自东欧。发现19例（24%）为细菌性肺结核，需要立即治疗，并进行平均为期18天的呼吸道隔离。此外，11例（14%）患有非细菌性肺结核，痰涂片阴性但培养阳性。这种新情况促使我们实施了一项特定的医院卫生策略。
