title: [Urogenital tuberculosis within the scope of general tuberculosis situation. Ambulatory management and care].
abstract: On the basis of two differential graphs the development of the general situation concerning tuberculosis in the GDR for the years 1962 to 1976 is described. Particularly taken into consideration were the new cases of urogenital tuberculosis which were compared with the rates of new cases in other countries. A significantly higher morbidity of tuberculosis was found in members of certain risk groups (so-called "gesunde Befundträger" [healthy persons not yet suffering from tuberculosis]). Regulations of the law for prevention of and combat against tuberculosis, principles of the continued ambulant treatment and the importance of the dispensary care were discussed. The success of treatment in the Berlin district, especially in the combat against urogenital tuberculosis, which refer to a more than 12 years observation period, are traced back to a continuity of initial stay in an urological clinic in connection with special procedures, following continued ambulant treatment and final after-care.
