However, TB is rarely reported among incarcerated people in correctional facilities in Mimika District, in Central Papua Province of Indonesia. This study aims to describe the outcomes of comprehensive screening and treatment of TB disease and latent TB infection (LTBI) within a prison in Mimika. In response to a newly reported case of TB within a prison, a facility-wide comprehensive screening and treatment program was carried out for both TB disease and LTBI between September 2021 and June 2022. We evaluated the outcomes of the screening intervention, including the number of people found to have TB and LTBI and the number and proportion of people who started and completed TB-preventive treatment at the facility. A total of 403 incarcerated people and facility staff participated in the comprehensive screening program. Ten participants were found to have TB disease, all of whom commenced treatment. LTBI was detected in 256 (64%) participants, 251 (98%) of whom completed TB-preventive treatment. Comprehensive screening revealed a high prevalence of TB disease and LTBI in this prison. Completion of treatment for TB disease and latent TB infection was high. These outcomes suggest a role for routine search\u2013treat\u2013prevent strategies for TB in this setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/tropicalmed9100241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]],"date-time":"2024-10-14T05:47:58Z","timestamp":1728884878000},"page":"241","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comprehensive Tuberculosis Screening and Treatment at a Prison in Central Papua Province, Indonesia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"family":"Aurelia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Papuan Health and Community Development Foundation, Timika 99963, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Kamaludin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mimika District Health Office, Timika 99963, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cahya","family":"Muslimin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Puskesmas Limau Asri, Mimika District, Timika 99963, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yetty","family":"Balik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mimika District Penitentiary, Kuala Kencana 99968, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4799-5338","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Trisasi","family":"Lestari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Tropical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1787-4930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Firdaus","family":"Hafidz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christa","family":"Dewi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Tropical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8307-9583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher","family":"Lowbridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, NT 0810, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3171-5271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ari","family":"Probandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Kota Surakarta 57126, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e300","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(21)00025-6","article-title":"Incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis in incarcerated populations: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"6","author":"Cords","year":"2021","journal-title":"Lancet Public Health"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e511","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(23)00097-X","article-title":"Global, regional, and national estimates of tuberculosis incidence and case detection among incarcerated individuals from 2000 to 2019: A systematic analysis","volume":"8","author":"Martinez","year":"2023","journal-title":"Lancet Public Health"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Placeres, A.F., de Almeida Soares, D., Delpino, F.M., Moura, H.S., Scholze, A.R., Dos Santos, M.S., Arc\u00eancio, R.A., and Fronteira, I.
