In Italy the highest incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) cases is in young adult migrants. In 2011, the sanitarystaff of the Local Health Unit (ASL) Roma A promoted a vaccination campaign conducting several public health interventions in Nomad Camps. After notification of a case of TB in the Camp of Via Salaria, out of 357 Mantoux skin tests performed, 93 were positive (26%); subsequently, 5 subjects with radiographic positivity were hospitalized. The vaccination campaign was carried out to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in immigrant communities at high risk of contagion and to avoid the consequent transmission in the host country. As a result, vaccinations coverage among the residents of the Camps increased: 367 vaccinated subjects (30% more than previous year) and 612 administered vaccinations.
在意大利,结核病(TB)病例发病率最高的是年轻成年移民。2011年,罗马A地方卫生单位(ASL)的卫生工作人员在游牧营地开展了一场疫苗接种运动,并进行了多项公共卫生干预措施。在Via Salaria营地通报了一例结核病病例后,在357例进行的结核菌素皮肤试验中,93例呈阳性(26%);随后,5名影像学检查呈阳性的受试者住院治疗。开展疫苗接种运动是为了防止传染病在具有高传染风险的移民社区传播,并避免在东道国发生后续传播。结果,营地居民的疫苗接种覆盖率有所提高:367名受试者接种了疫苗(比上一年增加30%),共接种了612剂疫苗。
