The centenary of the discovery of the tuberc bacillus (Koch-centenary) threw light on the unsolved problems of the epidemiology of tuberculosis in the world. Despite of the definitively significant progress made since the turn of the century the world-wide elimination and eradication of tuberculosis is not yet accomplished. Deficiencies in the fight against tuberculosis in the developing countries which represent two-third of the world play firstly a role in it. The number of new tuberculosis cases keeps being about 5.000 yearly in Hungary thus the present programme requires modification. An increased fight against tuberculosis on a global scale may be successful only with international collaboration and with higher rate of financial support provided by the highly developed industrial countries.
结核杆菌发现一百周年（科赫百年纪念）揭示了世界结核病流行病学中尚未解决的问题。尽管自世纪之交以来取得了显著进展，但全球消除和根除结核病的目标尚未实现。占世界三分之二的发展中国家在结核病防治方面的不足首先对此起到了作用。匈牙利每年新增结核病病例数一直约为5000例，因此当前的计划需要修改。只有通过国际合作以及高度发达的工业国家提供更高比例的财政支持，在全球范围内加强结核病防治才可能取得成功。
