The preliminary findings of a tuberculosis (TB) screening of asylum seekers performed in a reception center located in northern Italy reveal a post-entry screening prevalence rate of 535 per 100000 individuals screened. This result shows that systematic use of chest radiography is a useful tool for active TB screening among asylum seekers in Italy.
意大利北部一个接待中心进行的入境后结核(TB)筛查初步结果显示,筛查出的每 100000 人中就有 535 例潜伏性结核病。这一结果表明,在意大利,系统地使用 X 光胸片检查是对寻求庇护者进行潜伏性结核病筛查的有效工具。
