DZK patient information on X-ray screening according to §36

According to § 36 of the Infection Protection Act (IfSG), every person who is to be accommodated in shared accommodation must be examined for infectious tuberculosis. A chest X-ray examination is particularly suitable for this in adults. The German Central Committee against Tuberculosis (DZK) has created a patient information leaflet to support education on this necessary measure, including radiation exposure. This has been translated into Ukrainian and Russian due to the current situation and is available free of charge on our website.
