| Abstrakt: | The article presents a study which compared the prevalence of commonly screened infections in internationally adopted children as a distinct population seen at an international adoption clinic (IAC) by region of adoption. Topics discussed include demographics and testing results by region, overall rate of positive tuberculosis screening, and the decline in the number of children adopted from other countries since the global pandemic. |
