Tuberculosis contact-tracing among Syrian refugee populations: lessons from Jordan |pdf=|usr=}}{{30026793}} gab.com Text Tuberculosis contact-tracing among Syrian refugee populations: lessons from Jordan JO: Confl Health http://www.kidney.de/pget.php?&tw=1&pmid=30026793 #FOAvip Background: In response to the influx of displaced Syrians since 2011, the Jordanian National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) implemented a specific Tuberculosis (TB) reduction strategy, including contact-tracing (CT). Contacts of all refugees diagnosed with pulmonary TB (PTB) were registered by the International Organization for Migration and screened for active & latent TB infection (LTBI) in 6 NTP centres.The objectives of this study were to assess prevalence of active TB and LTBI, risk factors for LTBI as well as program performance. Methods: We performed a retrospective study among contacts (N?=?481) of all PTB cases diagnosed between March 2011 and May 2014 (N?=?76). CT was performed using verbal screening of TB-related symptoms, tuberculin skin test (TST) and chest X-ray. Results: LTBI was diagnosed in 24.1% of contacts tested with TST while active TB was diagnosed in 2.1% of contacts. Main risk factors for positive TST included smear-positive index case (IC) (OR: 6.33) and previous TB infection in the family (OR: 4.94). Among children, the risk of LTBI was higher when their IC was a care-giving female (OR: 2.83). Prevalence of active TB was two times higher in children under five (U5 s) (5.3%) compared to adults (2.5%). Conclusion: We found a high prevalence of active TB and LTBI among contacts of PTB cases in the Syrian refugee population, emphasizing the urgent need for host countries to implement CT strategies for refugees. Our results underscore the vulnerability of U5s and contacts of smear-positive IC highlighting the need for specific actions focusing on those groups.
