The present survey of literature is devoted to the problem of tuberculosis due to M. bovis in man. On the basis of an analysis of literary data the author summarizes materials characterizing the state of the problem in the USSR in recent years. It has been shown that in spite of general low incidence rate of M. bovis infections in human population there are regions with high level of cattle raising (Kazakh SSR, Novosibirsk Region of the RSFSR) where both the infection rate and morbidity rate due to this agent are much higher. The role of consumption of milk infected with M. bovis in causing the disease especially among children is demonstrated. The author underlines the fact that transmission of M. bovis from man to man is practically very rare and therefore this type of tuberculosis in human population is not autonomous and disappears as soon as the tuberculosis of cattle is irradicated. Data on sources and chains of infection of man with M. bovis as well as some clinical aspects of the infection are presented.
本次文献综述致力于研究人类牛型分枝杆菌结核病问题。基于对文献资料的分析，作者总结了近年来苏联该问题的现状。结果表明，尽管人群中牛型分枝杆菌感染的总体发病率较低，但在畜牧业发达的地区（哈萨克苏维埃社会主义共和国、俄罗斯苏维埃联邦社会主义共和国新西伯利亚地区），该病原体的感染率和发病率要高得多。文中证实了饮用感染牛型分枝杆菌的牛奶在引发疾病，尤其是儿童疾病方面的作用。作者强调，牛型分枝杆菌在人与人之间的传播实际上非常罕见，因此人群中的这种类型的结核病并非独立存在，一旦牛结核病被根除，它就会消失。文中还介绍了人类感染牛型分枝杆菌的来源和感染链以及该感染的一些临床方面情况。
