Journal of immigrant and minority health(2019)
摘要
Background Immigrants to the United States from countries with a high burden of tuberculosis (TB) who have abnormal chest radiographs but negative sputum cultures during pre-immigration screening (TB Class B1) have a high risk of being diagnosed with TB disease within 1 year of arrival. Methods Using 2010–2014 national surveillance data, we compared proportions of Class B1 Filipino immigrants who received a diagnosis of TB disease within 1 year of arrival to Hawaii to proportions in other U.S. states (not including Hawaii) using chi-squared tests. Results In Hawaii, 40/1190 (3.4%) of Class B1 Filipino immigrants to Hawaii received a diagnosis of TB disease within 1 year of arrival compared with 220/16,035 (1.4%) nationwide ( P < .01). Conclusions During 2010–2014, the percentage of recent Class B1 Filipino immigrants in Hawaii with TB disease diagnosed within 1 year of arrival was over twice that as nationwide.
