The development of tuberculosis in GDR is analysed upon the different points of view. After assessing the validity of the parameters for evaluating the tuberculosis problem (mortality, incidence and prevalence of disease and infection) some aspects remarkable for tuberculosis control are discussed. Tuberculosis has been vastly reduced in all parameters since 1949. However, the regression of tuberculosis did not occur with the same rate in the various age and finding groups. By this the efficacy of the control measures has changed making necessary a reconsideration of the methods. The Volkskrankheit (common disease in the population) tuberculosis has become a vastly reduced endemic disease in GDR. For future tuberculosis control conclusions are drawn from the analysis.
从不同角度分析了民主德国结核病的发展情况。在评估了用于评估结核病问题的参数（疾病和感染的死亡率、发病率和患病率）的有效性之后，讨论了结核病控制方面一些值得注意的问题。自1949年以来，所有参数中的结核病情况都有了大幅减少。然而，结核病在不同年龄组和检查结果组中的下降速度并不相同。由此，控制措施的效果发生了变化，有必要重新考虑这些方法。作为“大众疾病”的结核病在民主德国已成为一种大幅减少的地方性疾病。通过分析得出了未来结核病控制的结论。
