Alberer M, et al. - A monocentric retrolective cross-sectional study including 15,137 refugees and asylum seekers (RAs) treated in a special health care unit for RAs located in the major reception center in Munich was performed in order to identify notifiable infectious diseases (NIDs) in this population. Researchers noted that country of origin, gender, and age have an impact on the occurrence of NIDs/RIDs. For preventing NIDs/RIDs in communal accommodations, they suggested early vaccinations and improved hygiene to be effective. Screening, prompt therapy, and infection protection measures seemed to be significant for preventing the transmission of diseases.
