Rare cases of tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis have been described in humans who have been exposed to cattle or other infected animals. We report a case of tuberculosis in cattle exposed to a patient infected with M. bovis, where the strain isolated in the cattle and the patient were identical. As the patient is reported to have been exposed and contaminated during childhood, this seems to be the first documented case of transmission of M. bovis from animal to man and back to animal.
曾有报告称,接触过牛或其他受感染动物的人类中出现过由牛分枝杆菌引起的罕见结核病病例。我们报告了一例牛结核病病例,这头牛接触过一名感染牛分枝杆菌的患者,且从这头牛和该患者身上分离出的菌株是相同的。据报告,该患者在童年时期接触并受到了感染,这似乎是有记录以来首例牛分枝杆菌从动物传播给人类,再从人类传播回动物的病例。
