Although Actinomyces can present as a co-pathogen when anatomic barriers are compromised, its intra-abdominal co-infection with Mycobacterium bovis has not previously been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Soft Tissue Mass
Imaging studies of the thoracolumbar spine showed osteolysis of the L3 and L4 vertebrae and the associated intervertebral disc space, and a large soft tissue mass with signal abnormalities suggesting of an abscess. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
-
Dyspnea at Rest
A 76-year-old white male presented with progressive malaise, weight loss and dyspnea at rest. Echocardiography revealed a circular pericardial effusion and global hypokinesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
-
Abdominal Pain
He suffered from acute abdominal pain and underwent emergency laparotomy. Pathology demonstrated tuberculosis enteritis with colon perforation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These include: Fever Night sweats Weight loss Cough Abdominal pain Diarrhea [quiplabs.com]
Two weeks later he presented in a clinic with a 5-day history of fever 39 C, chills, mainly at night, accompanied by abdominal pain and distension, moderate constipation, and sensation of fullness. [archbronconeumol.org]

Abdominal Mass
We describe a child of Moroccan parents with an abdominal mass caused by Mycobacterium bovis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Dysphagia
An 80-year-old woman presented with dysphagia, odynophagia and progressive weight loss. Initial investigations suggested a large base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Odynophagia
An 80-year-old woman presented with dysphagia, odynophagia and progressive weight loss. Initial investigations suggested a large base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
-
Jaundice
We describe four cases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteremia diagnosed in immunocompetent neonates, who presented with high fever and/or jaundice within 72 h after Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
-
Back Pain
He presented with severe low back pain, and imaging revealed features of discitis and paraspinal abscesses. On aspiration of the abnormal tissue, culture confirmed infection with M. bovis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Low Back Pain
He presented with severe low back pain, and imaging revealed features of discitis and paraspinal abscesses. On aspiration of the abnormal tissue, culture confirmed infection with M. bovis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Leg Pain
A 72-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of low back and leg pain. Past medical history revealed transurethral resection of bladder cancer followed by multiple intravesical BCG instillation 12 years ago. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Altered Mental Status
Patients presenting with altered mental status while on BCG therapy should be evaluated for disseminated infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
We performed a literature review revealing that the association between tuberculosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome is very rare (only seven cases previously reported) but is not coincidental. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
-
Hematuria
Although intravesical therapy with BCG is generally considered safe, serious complications including hematuria, granulomatous pneumonitis, hepatitis, and life-threatening BCG sepsis are well known. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Following endovascular treatment and additional workup, the patient was discovered to have additional aneurysms in the right popliteal artery and left anterior descending artery (LAD). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
-
Acid-Fast Bacilli in the Sputum
Both patients had pulmonary cavities on radiography and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) on sputum-smear microscopy, indicators of being contagious. Whole-genome sequencing results of the isolates were nearly indistinguishable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
We compared treatment response times for patients with M. bovis TB and M. tuberculosis TB reported in the United States during 2006-2013. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Hematogenous spread of M. bovis is a rare, often delayed, complication of intravesical BCG therapy, but early appropriate treatment can result in a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis M. bovis is inherently resistant to pyrazinamide. The standard treatment consists of combination isoniazid and rifampin. [radiopaedia.org]
####Twenty immune system genes were significantly differentially expressed in patients with a good prognosis relative to patients with a worse prognosis: TLR2 and TLR7 (Toll-like receptor superfamily); CD4, CD37, FOXP3, PTPRC (B cell and T cell signalling [wearepaperer.com]
In contrast to other forms of cutaneous tuberculosis, it is most often associated with negative tuberculin reactions and a poor prognosis. [academic.oup.com]
Etiology
An extensive etiological investigation showed that, in this case, the only likely infectious trigger GBS was the concomitant M. bovis infection. To our knowledge, this is the first report of GBS triggered by M. bovis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Molecular diagnosis detected Mycobacterium bovis as etiological agent. Whether M. bovis infection in this Chilean hawk represents a risk for other wildlife, livestock or humans remains to be determined. [revistas.uach.cl]
Colinas de la Normal, Guadalajara, Jalisco, C.P. 44270, México Received 22 September 2008; accepted 11 February 2009; published online 18 February 2009 Abstract - Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) and Mycobacterium bovis ( M. bovis ) are the etiological [vetres.org]
Epidemiology
The present review discusses many topics including the aetiology, epidemiology and importance of M. bovis, the prevalence of bTB in humans and animals in various countries, the molecular epidemiology of M. bovis, and finally applied molecular epidemiological [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of pulmonary manifestations after intravesical BCG treatment is still controversial. [revistanefrologia.com]
Prevention
To prevent these infections, a change from open to closed preparation was made; strictly separated preparation in time of BCG Onco-TICE instillation and chemotherapy was enforced, the biological safety cabinet was disinfected between preparations, and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
