Abstract

Migration is an important driver of population dynamics in Europe. Although migrants are generally healthy, subgroups of migrants are at increased risk of a range of infectious diseases. Early identification of infections is important as it prevents morbidity and mortality.

In this commentary we will discuss the importance of linkage to care and how to minimise attrition in clinical pathways. View Full-Text
