Differences found in patient characteristics of migrant tuberculosis sub-populations within low TB incidence European countries, 2014–2020

Improving European TB preparedness within the context of migration requires timely and complete international data alongside continuous access to quality TB care, not only at entry, and expanded opportunities for diagnosis given levels of extrapulmonary TB observed.
