Around 10 million people worldwide contract tuberculosis every year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately one-quarter of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In Ger- many, the incidence of tuberculosis was in decline over several decades but rose in 2015 to 7.3 new cases per 100 000 persons. In 2018, a total of 5429 new cases were documented, corresponding to 6.5 new cases per 100 000 persons.
