These are at increased risk of infectious diseases rarely seen in Danish children. Studies from the 1990s showed that 60% of IAC had infectious diseases and that the majority of these were undetected without screening.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study is a prospective study of medical records from children seen in the adoption clinic at Copenhagen University Hospital in the period 2009\u20102013. Screening was done for hepatitis A (HAV), B (HBV) and C (HCV), syphilis, HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and intestinal parasites. Results: In 245 IAC tested, 2% had evidence of recent HAV infection, 3% with HBV and one child with HCV, and no cases of HIV were found. One child had antibodies against syphilis (anti\u2010Trpa AB positivity), and 2% were latently infected with tuberculosis. We found 30% infected with pathogenic intestinal parasites. Only 46% had serologic evidence of immunisation against HBV.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of infections in IAC was lower than previously reported but compared to the general population, a higher prevalence of intestinal parasites, hepatitis and tuberculosis was found. We recommend that IAC are offered screening shortly after arrival.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/apa.15045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,3]],"date-time":"2019-10-03T13:23:15Z","timestamp":1570108995000},"page":"1004-1010","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Infectious diseases detected by screening after arrival to Denmark in internationally adopted children"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"Agnethe Vale","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2181-4743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jesper","family":"Kj\u00e6rgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tine Marie","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood Health Sciences University of Copenhagen Naestved Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics Naestved Hospital Naestved Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ida Glode","family":"Helmuth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulrikka","family":"Nygaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helle Winter","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vibeke Brix","family":"Christensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00f8rgen Anders Lindholm","family":"Kurtzhals","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Medical Parasitology at Department of Clinical Microbiology Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Immunology and Microbiology University of Copenhagen Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anja","family":"Poulsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"http:\/\/ast.dk\/filer\/adoptionsnaevnet\/statistik-2013-internationale-og-nationale-adoptioner.pdf\/view.
