39 PARISIAN PROSPECTIVE STUDY CONCLUSIONS ACTIVE TB SCREENING among MIGRANTS NEWLY ARRIVED IS AN INTERESTING STRATEGY WITH A MEAN RATE OF 100 TB/ X-RAY THIS RATE IN BELOW WHAT WE EXPECTED BECAUSE OF : - LONG DELAY BETWEEN SCREENING AND ARRIVAL TIME - SCREENING OF ALL MIGRANTS INCLUDING THOSE COMING FROM LOW INCIDENCE COUNTRIES EFFICIENT COLLABORATION BETWEEN French Immigration Office And Anti-TB center IS NEEDED WITH REGULAR EVALUATION OF RESULTS MIGRANTS MUST BE SCREENED EARLIER AND ONLY THOSE COMING FROM HIGH INCIDENCE COUNTRIES (> 50/ 10 X 5)

40 Since 1994 mobile xray screening in Paris shelters TB ACTIVE SCREENING OF MIGRANTS IN PARIS SHELTERS - IN PARIS CITY 35 TO 40 MIGRANTS SHELTER WITH ALMOST 10 TO REGULAR RESIDENTS AND PROBABLY TWICE THIS NUMBER (if including indocumented residents) - LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE «ONE STAR HOTEL» - SYSTEMATIC SCREENING ONCE /Y AND MORE IF NECESSERLY

49 LTBI SCREENING OF MIGRANTS -FEW DATA in France concerning LTBI among migrant or general population -No Evaluation of LTBI in migrant < 15 Y despite a National Recommendation

50 DATA ON LTBI IN CHILDREN < 15 YEARS OLD-FRANCE In France, LTBI in children < 15 years should be notified (since 2003) whatever the situation Definition case : based for the moment on TST result Difficulty in assessing the exhaustivity of the surveillance system From 2011 to 2013: 2361 LTBI notified in children (around each year) Around 2/3 of LTBI in children foreign born or with foreign born parents

51 PARIS MIGRANTS < 15 YEARS YEAR NUMBER SCREENED LTBI TREATED ONLY LESS THAN 25 % OF MIGRANTS < 15 Y ARE SCREENED - AROUND 10 % WITH LTBI TREATED

52 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS BETTER SELECTION OF MIGRANTS : COUNTRY OF BIRTH WITH TB INCIDENCE > 50 / 10 X5 SCREENING SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER ARRIVAL IN FRANCE ASYLUM SEEKER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SCREENING LTBI SCREENING IN CHILDREN < 15 Y SHOULD BE ASSESSED AND EXPANDED IN A SECOND TIME LTBI SCREENING MAY BE PROPOSED FOR ALL MIGRANTS < 35 Y NEWLY ARRIVED FROM HIGH INCIDENCE COUNTRIES
