概括
来自高结核病发病率国家的移民患有更高的潜伏结核病感染率. 建议对来自TB发病率≥300/100,000地区的移民进行查,参与者对试点LTBI查程序的反是积极的.
科学领域:
- 公共卫生
- 传染性疾病
- 移民健康
背景情况:
- 在加拿大的外籍人士中,结核病 (TB) 患病率不成比例,大多数病例源于抵达后潜伏结核病感染 (LTBI) 的重新激活.
- 在新不伦瑞克,外国出生的结核病例从2013年的33%上升到2023年的100%.
- 移民前的医疗检查发现的结核病例不到3%.
研究的目的:
- 估计新不伦瑞克南部移民中潜伏性结核感染 (LTBI) 的患病率.
- 确定积极的LTBI查的预测因素.
- 评估参与者在试点LTBI查程序中的经验.
主要方法:
- 一项横截面研究涉及264名来自高结核病发病率国家或医疗保健专业人员的19岁以上的移民.
- 使用干扰素释试验 (IGRA) 进行了潜伏结核感染 (LTBI) 查.
- 参与者完成了一项关于查经验的调查.
主要成果:
- 18. 6% (49/ 264) 的参与者检测出LTBI.
- 在高度流行的结核病国家 (≥300/100,000人口) 和年龄较大的人群中,结核病查结果的几率较高.
- 参与者报告了试点LTBI查程序的积极经验 (平均得分为4. 03- 4. 55/5).
结论:
- 来自结核病发病率≥300/100,000的国家的移民应考虑进行LTBI查和治疗.
- 试点LTBI查程序受到参与者的欢迎.
- 建议使用更大的样本进行进一步研究以验证结果.

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...
