Abstract

The authors discuss the study which develops a strategy for tuberculosis (TB) screening among asylum seekers coming in northern Italy. They mention that study authors enforced a TB screening program that is based on routine use of initial screening tool chest radiographs, which is the first in Italy of using CXRs instead of symptom screening. They state that TB prevalence reported among Italian asylum seekers is high even provided their high-TB-burden countries.
