Ongoing guidance for infectious disease care for migrants and immigrants: a case-based narrative review.

Abstract

In this narrative review, we build upon previous work and provide guidance on the infectious disease care of immigrant, refugee, and asylee populations, accounting for numerous policy changes at the federal level that have been made in the past year and with a focus on re-emerging infections such as measles. We present three cases to illustrate teaching points on the care of pertinent infections we have chosen (HIV, measles, and Ebola), not only at the patient level but also actions of advocacy that can be taken to build health systems that better care for these patients.
