Many of these migrants originate from highly tuberculosis (TB)-endemic countries. Furthermore, their travel conditions are often poor, allowing potential transmission of infectious diseases, including TB. The Netherlands have observed an increased influx of asylum seekers since 2012 too, with fluctuating numbers every month, and a sharp increase in the summer of 2015, putting constraints on the process of registration, identification, application and accommodation, including mandatory radiographic screening for intrathoracic TB. We describe the impact of such migration on the Public Health TB Clinic of Groningen (responsible for nearly all TB entry screening for asylum seekers in the Netherlands), and our flexible and efficient practice model for daily radiographic TB screening. We report the yield of this intervention over the last 4 years, and reflect on issues concerning entry screening.The Dutch practice model for radiographic TB screening of asylum seekers has proved feasible http://ow.ly/Z1QTP ER -
