Dara and colleagues for their commentary on our article “Low yield of screening asylum seekers from countries with a tuberculosis (TB) incidence of <50 per 100 000 population” [1]. We agree that the current high influx of refugees from both low- and high-incidence countries into countries that already have a TB incidence <10 per 100 000 population, e.g. many European Union member states, brings up a number of new challenges.Screening asylum seekers from high TB incidence countries for LTBI is recommended in low-incidence countries http://ow.ly/4nbKhU ER -
