TB prevalence was high (1236 per 100 000 population) and LTBI prevalence was 28%. Despite losses (41%) during the transition from initial screening sites and the diagnostic centre, a good TB cure rate (84%) and optimal LTBI treatment completion (94%) were achieved.Our study shows that TB incidence is high among asylum seekers in Milan and that well-coordinated screening measures are critical for early diagnosis and treatment. It also proves that rolling out successful at-scale interventions for both prophylaxis and disease management is feasible.Asylum seekers are vulnerable to TB owing to migration-related events and marginalisation in destination countries. Coordinated screening and surveillance programmes using well-informed datasets can reduce TB transmission, improve care and address LTBI. http://bit.ly/2SPp0uZ %U //www.qdcxjkg.com/content/erj/54/4/1900896.full.pdf
