“…One case was seen in Croatia and was associated with a mycobacterial‐induced inflammatory “pseudotumors" 6 . The other cases were seen in Austria, Argentina, and Japan, and presented with systemic signs of infection 7‐9 ; but no associated ascites. There was also another case recently from Japan, in which the cat presented with diffuse parenchymal lung disease and granulomatous inflammation of the lymph node and liver 10 …”

A 3-year-old, castrated, male, domestic shorthair cat presented to the University of the West Indies Veterinary Teaching Hospital for ongoing anorexia, progressive weight loss, lethargy, and shedding of fur. The cat was a found as stray kitten and was kept as an unvaccinated indoor/ outdoor cat. There was a history of waxing and waning periods of illness, and these episodes occurred annually from 1 year of age. 1.2 | Clinical findings On physical examination, the cat had a thin body condition of 3/9 (7.9 lbs), with generalized muscle wasting and mild pyrexia (103.1°F). The cat was depressed, in lateral recumbency, had mildly icteric mucous membranes, and mild stomatitis. There was moderate abdominal distension and a palpable abdominal fluid wave. Neurologic examination revealed hind limb ataxia with normal spinal cord reflexes. No abnormalities were appreciated in the thoracic and pelvic limbs, and proprioception was difficult to ascertain due to a depressed mental state. Initial diagnostic tests included a CBC, serum biochemical analysis (sodium, potassium, chloride, urea, creatinine, glucose, alkaline phosphatase [ALP], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], and gamma-glutamyl transferase [GGT] levels were assessed), thoracic and abdominal radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) testing. Urine could not be obtained for urinalysis as the bladder was empty. A few hours after hospitalization, the cat's condition worsened, and it developed a mild complex seizure. Diazepam (Roche Pakistan Ltd) was administered intravenously

Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMENLa tuberculosis bovina es una enfermedad infectocontagiosa producida por Mycobacterium bovis, que, junto con otras micobacterias, compone el complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Su prevención radica en detectar la infección en el ganado bovino y pasteurizar la leche. El hombre, clásicamente, ha adquirido la enfermedad por contacto con el ganado, en el contexto de una zoonosis laboral, o por consumo de productos lácteos no pasteurizados. Se describe el caso de un paciente de 10 años, sin actividades relacionadas con animales, que presenta una forma de tuberculosis pulmonar por M. bovis, indistinguible clínica y radiológicamente de la tuberculosis humana. Se destaca la importancia de la detección de la enfermedad, del control sanitario de los alimentos y del primer nivel de atención en lo que respecta al reconocimiento de la enfermedad y a su prevención en la población. ABSTRACTBovine tuberculosis is a contagious infectious disease produced by Mycobacterium bovis, which together with other mycobacteria makes up the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Its prevention lies in detection of the infection in cattle and milk pasteurization. Man has traditionally acquired the disease through contact with livestock, in the context of an occupational zoonosis, or through consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. We describe the case of a 10-year-old male patient, without activities related to animals, that presents a form of pulmonary tuberculosis due to M. bovis, clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from human tuberculosis. The importance of the disease detection, the food sanitary control, and the first level of attention, with respect to the recognition of the disease and its prevention in the population, is highlighted.

“…Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) infections are becoming an increasing concern in veterinary medicine because they occur in a wide range of animals, including domestic animals ( 1 ), ruminant and non-ruminant wildlife ( 2 ), and companion animals ( 3 , 4 ). MAC includes two main species: M. avium and M. intracellulare ( 5 ).…”

“…MAC infections are rare in dogs. Although only a small number of cases have been published, certain breeds, such as basset hounds and miniature schnauzers, seem to be at higher risk ( 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 ). MAC infections may cause granulomatous diseases, which range from localized granulomas to disseminated diseases.…”

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex infections are becoming an increasing concern in veterinary medicine because they affect livestock, wildlife, and companion animals. Here we describe the isolation, molecular typing, and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the causative agent of a rare case of generalized mycobacteriosis in a crossbred dog. Mycobacterial colonies were isolated from a popliteal lymph node aspirate sample and molecular typed by SNPs typing of the genes gyrB and rpsA , the 3′ region of the hsp65 gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and MIRU-VNTR analysis. Colonies were also tested in vitro against the macrolide clarithromycin and other drugs, using a resazurin microdilution assay, in order to provide the most appropriate treatment for the dog. Results from SNPs typing of gyrB and ITS, as well as from MIRU-VNTR analysis suggested the isolation of a single strain of M. avium subsp. hominissuis (Mah). On the other hand, SNP typing of rpsA revealed DNA polymorphisms that led colonies to cluster into two groups. The presence of two distinct strains of Mah has been assumed. All colonies, regardless of the nucleotide sequence of rpsA , were found to be sensitive to all of the drugs tested except for ethambutol. Although the therapy administered was adequate, the dog's overall clinical status worsened progressively and the animal died 8 months later. In conclusion, we report on the isolation of Mah from a dog with generalized mycobacteriosis.
