Follow\u2010up extended from the date of residency until the earliest of: TB diagnosis, the age of 21\u2009years, or study\u2010end (31.12.2015). Data were obtained from Statistics Denmark and the International Reference Laboratory of Mycobacteriology.

Notably, refugee minors from sub\u2010Saharan Africa had an IR of 203 per 100\u2009000 person\u2010years. For both refugee minors and their Danish\u2010born peers, pulmonary TB was the most common form, but still more than a third had extrapulmonary manifestations. Among refugee minors, most TB cases were diagnosed more than 2\u2009years after arrival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
