The records of autopsies performed during the last year were examined with the view of assessing the accuracy of the diagnosis: death from tuberculosis. The study showed that the infection was only rarely the cause of death. Subsequently, in collaboration with R. Gruber, the deaths reported by the Study Group, Bavaria, were analysed. Over a period of two years there were 302 deaths in which tuberculosis was either the primary or a complicating disease. The analysis shows how important it is to establish the correct diagnosis and to ensure that in deaths attributed to tuberculosis the infection is, in fact, the sole cause of death and not a complicating factor.
为评估肺结核死亡诊断的准确性，我们检查了去年的尸检记录。研究表明，感染很少是死亡原因。随后，我们与R. 格鲁伯合作，对巴伐利亚研究小组报告的死亡病例进行了分析。在两年时间里，有302例死亡病例，其中肺结核要么是主要疾病，要么是并发疾病。分析表明，正确诊断并确保在归因于肺结核的死亡病例中，感染实际上是唯一的死亡原因而非并发因素是多么重要。
