چکیده
Abstract Background Updated seroprevalence studies of infections in migrants may aid the design tailored vaccination and prevention programmes. The objective this study was to describe rates for potentially transmissible viral attended at a referral centre major European city. Methods Descriptive analysis vaccine-preventable non-vaccine-preventable Madrid, Spain (2018–19). Recorded variables included age, gender, country birth/continent origin, time from arrival until first clinic visit, rubella, measles, mumps, varicella (VZV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), A (HAV), C (HCV) HIV serology. Results In total, 468 patients were included, 135 females (28.8%) 333 males (71.2%), mean age 30.4 years. majority Africa (52.5%, which 88.2% sub-Saharan Africa), followed by Latin America (38.5%) other areas (9%). Seroprevalence tested measles mumps < 95% group overall (91% 88% 83% mumps) lower observed >20 years (compared with those ≤ 20 years). Over 10% susceptible (negative/indeterminate serology) rubella (11.4%), (12.7%) or (10.3%). Lowest seropositivity American (over 12% susceptible); lowest than Africa/Latin (74% 68%, respectively). 91% VZV, 90% HAV, ~6% HBV chronic infection (~50% susceptible), 2% HCV 6% HIV. Conclusions Differences according range area origin observed. Tailored screening, strategies vulnerable migrant groups should be designed.

According to the most recent census data, foreign-born individuals account for more than 12% of the US population. Because many vaccine-preventable outbreaks in the United States have been correlated with disease importation, Congress has mandated vaccinations for numerous immigrant populations. It is essential for primary care physicians to be knowledgeable about the unique immunization-relate...
