OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate results of purified protein derivates (PPD) test applied at the Tuberculosis Dispensary between 2012-2015 in Hatay, Turkey, where a large number of Syrian refugees have migrated since the Syrian civil war began in 2011. METHODS: PPD test records from the Electronic Tuberculosis Management System at the Tuberculosis Dispensary from 2012-2015 were analyzed based on nationality, age groups, BCG scar availability, and PPD reaction. The annual risk of tuberculosis infection (ARTI) was calculated based on years for each age group in Turks and Syrian refugees and the trend was evaluated. Student-t, Chi-square, and Mantel-Haenszel tests were used in statistical analyses, p < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: In total, 5,255 PPD tests were made, 15.5% were Syrian refugees. BCG scar was missing in 48.5% of Turks and 87.3% of refugees (p < 0.001). The 0-5 age group represented the lowest rate (Turks 3.2%, refugees 4.3%) and the 19-64 age group represented the highest rate (Turks 51.1%, refugees 54.1%) of positive PPD reaction among individuals without BCG scar. Among individuals without BCG scar, more positive PPD reactions developed in refugees of the 6-18 group than in Turks (Turks 16.9%, refugees 46.4%, p < 0.001). Among individuals with BCG scar, more positive PPD reactions developed among refugees of the 0-5 (Turks 7.8%, refugees 24.0%, p = 0.049) and 19-64 (Turks 36.6%, refugees 58.8%, p = 0.028) age groups. ARTIs between 2012-2015 were 0.2%, 1.0%, 1.3%, and 1.4% among Turks, (except 2012) 2.3%, 0.3%, 2.4% among refugees in the 0-5 age group, 1.1%, 2.0%, 1.7%, and 1.5% among Turks, and 8.5%, 6.6%, 7.3%, and 2.4% among refugees in the 6-18 age group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Higher positive PPD reactions and ARTIs were found among Syrian refugees, more specifically in the 6-18 age group.
