Tuberculosis is still a health problem. Due to an increasing number of immunosuppressed patients the probability of getting infected with tuberculosis in the hospital rises up.
For prevention of infections, medical students play a critical role: Firstly, because of bedside-teaching in the hospital, medical students are at risk of getting infected with tuberculosis. Secondly, immediately after university training, it is expected that they are capable to diagnose tuberculosis. The following study analysed the incidence-estimation of medical students (n = 278) of tuberculosis-morbidity and tuberculosis-mortality in Germany.
It becomes obvious, that medical students still have gaps in their knowledge about tuberculosis. They underestimated the incidence of tuberculosis and they overestimated the mortality of tuberculosis.
The study indicates a misperception of relevant health problems which may be due to the study situation at German Medical Schools. Medical students need more information and counselling about epidemiology of infectious diseases including tuberculosis.
结核病仍是一个健康问题。由于免疫抑制患者数量不断增加，医院内感染结核病的几率上升。
对于预防感染，医学生起着关键作用：其一，由于在医院进行床边教学，医学生有感染结核病的风险。其二，大学培训结束后，期望他们能够诊断结核病。以下研究分析了德国医学生（n = 278）结核病发病率和死亡率的发生率估计。
显而易见，医学生在结核病知识方面仍存在差距。他们低估了结核病的发病率，高估了结核病的死亡率。
该研究表明对相关健康问题存在误解，这可能归因于德国医学院校的学习情况。医学生需要更多关于包括结核病在内的传染病流行病学的信息和咨询。
