Immigration in Italy from developing countries is a recent problem and the possible consequences on public health must be taken into account. The present study reports the results of Tuberculosis control activities performed by the Dispensario di Igiene Sociale of Turin, related to this population. Up to now the available data suggest that the immigrant population (mainly from North Africa and Senegal), in spite of representing a small part of residents (approximately 33,000/1,000,000) contributes to one third of Tuberculosis cases. The consequences on Tuberculosis epidemiology in Italy and our operational experience on Tuberculosis control and prevention are discussed.
来自发展中国家的移民进入意大利是一个新出现的问题，必须考虑到其对公共卫生可能产生的后果。本研究报告了都灵社会卫生诊疗所针对这一人群开展的结核病防控活动的结果。到目前为止，现有数据表明，移民人口（主要来自北非和塞内加尔）尽管只占居民的一小部分（约33000/1000000），却占结核病病例的三分之一。文中讨论了这对意大利结核病流行病学的影响以及我们在结核病防控方面的实际经验。
