Tuberculosis is becoming increasingly rare in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. For example, only 4791 cases of tuberculosis were reported in Germany in 2019, an incidence of 5.8 new cases per 100,000 population. After a significant increase in 2015 as part of the wave of refugees, the numbers declined again for the first time in 2017 and stagnated in 2018. While 2020 shows a further decline, it is a special year due to underdiagnosis and masks disseminated during the Corona pandemic.
