Enhanced surveillance for tuberculosis among foreign-born persons, Finland, 2014-2016.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in foreign-born residents is increasing in many European countries including Finland. We conducted enhanced TB surveillance to collect supplementary information on TB cases among recent immigrants and their children to provide data for revising TB control policies in Finland to take into account the decrease in native cases and increase in foreign-born cases.

Methods: TB cases were identified from the National Infectious Diseases Register.
