Epidemiology PhD dissertation: Tuberculosis among Persons Born Abroad, 1995-2017

The doctoral study of Master of Medical Science Pirre Emilia Räisänen provides an insight into the effect of migration on the epidemiology of TB in Finland. Using a nationwide, population-based approach with register data commencing in the year 1995, the national trends on the epidemiology of TB can be characterized. The transition may be described in terms of an epidemiological situation, where most reported cases have been reactivation of LTB in older Finnish adults to TB cases in young migrants.
