Characteristic SNPs defining the major multidrug-resistant < em > Mycobacterium tuberculosis < /em > clusters identified by EuSeqMyTB to support routine surveillance, EU/EEA, 2017 to 2019
ConclusionThe identified SNP signatures can be integrated into routine pipelines and contribute to the more effective monitoring, rapid and widespread screening for TB. This SNP panel will also support accurate communication between laboratories about previously identified internationally transmitted MDR-TB genotypes.PMID:38516788 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.12.2300583 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Prevalence estimates of tuberculosis infection in adults in Denmark: a retrospective nationwide register-based cross-sectional study, 2010 to 2018
ConclusionEstimated TBI prevalence is low in Denmark. We estimate that 200,000 persons have TBI and thus are at risk of developing TB. Screening for TBI and preventive treatment, especially in persons born in high TB incidence countries or immunosuppressed, are crucial to reduce the risk of and eliminate TB.PMID:38516789 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.12.2300590 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Cost-effectiveness of active tuberculosis screening among high-risk populations in low tuberculosis incidence countries: a systematic review, 2008 to 2023
ConclusionIn low-incidence countries, targeting high-risk groups is C-E. However, due to the data heterogenicity, we were unable to compare C-E. Harmonisation of the methods for C-E analysis is needed and would facilitate comparisons. To outline comprehensive screening and its subsequent C-E analysis, researchers should consider multiple factors influencing screening methods and outcomes.PMID:38516785 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.12.2300614 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Tuberculosis in people of Ukrainian origin in the European Union and the European Economic Area, 2019 to 2022
Euro Surveill. 2024 Mar;29(12). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.12.2400094.ABSTRACTApproximately five million Ukrainians were displaced to the EU/EEA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While tuberculosis (TB) notification rates per 100,000 Ukrainians in the EU/EEA remained stable, the number of notified TB cases in Ukrainians increased almost fourfold (mean 2019-2021: 201; 2022: 780). In 2022, 71% cases were notified in three countries, and almost 20% of drug-resistant TB cases were of Ukrainian origin. Targeted healthcare services for Ukrainians are vital for early diagnosis and treatment, and preventing transmi...
