Abstract

In many countries with low tuberculosis (TB) incidence (<10/100,000) a high proportion of cases originate from latent TB infection (LTBI) reactivation among migrants from high-incidence countries (≥100/100,000) who have been infected before arrival in the host country [1, 2]. Consequently, LTBI screening and management for migrants is an important intervention to reduce TB incidence in those countries [1, 3, 4].
