Enhanced screening for tuberculosis infection among immigrants in southern New Brunswick: A cross-sectional pilot study
Results suggest that immigrants born in countries with TB incidences of ≥300/100,000 population should be considered for screening and treatment of TBI. The pilot TBI screening procedure yielded positive feedback. Further research with a larger sample is recommended.
