A brief account of Robert Koch's biography is followed by reference to the past 100 years and the change that has occurred in that period to the prospects of tuberculosis, including genital tuberculosis.--Comprehensive tuberculosis control programmes in many industrialised countries, including the GDR, have contributed to significant reduction of tuberculosis incidence. It has been wiped out as a mass epidemic. Today, genital tuberculosis does no longer grow manifest by the classical pattern of massive tumour growths which reach up to the mesogastrium. It is rather manifested in discrete latent forms, often detected along with sterility diagnosis or as an accidental finding. Nevertheless, the general risk of tuberculosis must not be belittled, since it still is a global health problem.
在简要介绍了罗伯特·科赫的生平之后，接下来将回顾过去100年以及这一时期结核病前景所发生的变化，包括生殖器结核。——包括民主德国在内的许多工业化国家实施的综合结核病控制规划，对显著降低结核病发病率起到了作用。结核病作为一种大规模流行病已被消灭。如今，生殖器结核不再以高达胃系膜的巨大肿瘤生长的经典模式表现出来。它更多地以离散的潜伏形式表现，常常在不育诊断时被发现或作为偶然发现。然而，结核病的总体风险绝不可小觑，因为它仍然是一个全球健康问题。
