Yes, for some diseases, such as tuberculosis and AIDS. |
Qualitative Info |
For some diseases, such as tuberculosis, "although the total number of newly detected cases of TB has declined, cases among immigrants are increasing." See among others, Papaventsis D, Nikolaou S, Karabela S, Ioannidis P, Konstantinidou E, Marinou I, Sainti A, Kanavaki S. (2010), "Tuberculosis in Greece: bacteriologically confirmed cases and anti-tuberculosis drug resistance, 1995-2009", Eurosurveillance, 15(28). For the case of AIDS/HIV, see: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) (2010), Migrant health: Epidemiology of HIV and AIDS in migrant communities and ethnic minorities in EU/EEA countries, Stockholm, revised edition.
