The initial assessment of immigrant and refugee patients, including which health concerns to address and which infectious diseases may benefit from early screening, may present challenges to clinicians. Evidence-based research suggests certain infectious diseases should be screened for and treated in refugees. Overseas refugee preemptive treatment programs have reduced the burden of some diseases but have not removed the value of in-country screening programs. This article provides discussion of a series of common tropical and infectious diseases providing refugee and geographic contexts and links to international resources that have been developed to improve the care of newly arriving immigrants and refugees.
移民和难民患者的初步评估，包括应关注哪些健康问题以及哪些传染病可能受益于早期筛查，可能会给临床医生带来挑战。基于证据的研究表明，某些传染病应在难民中进行筛查和治疗。海外难民预先治疗计划减轻了某些疾病的负担，但并没有消除国内筛查计划的价值。本文讨论了一系列常见的热带和传染病，提供了难民和地理背景，并链接到了已开发的国际资源，以改善新到达的移民和难民的护理。
