[Tuberculosis--a forgotten disease?].
Statistics show that half of the world population are infected by mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, in third-world countries with the highest mortality rates no statistics are available. In the industrialised countries AIDS leads to a new spread of tbc, particularly with mycobacteria other than tuberculosis (MOT). Epidemiology, modes of infection, bacteriology, pathology, diagnostics, standards and therapy in selected cases (MOT) are surveyed. This seems necessary from a statistic point of view a general practitioner is contacted only every 5th-12th year by a patient suffering by tuberculosis.
