Neotropical primates rarely exhibit active tuberculosis. A brown howler monkey was found injured in an urban area. Histopathology revealed granulomatous inflammation in the lungs, lymph nodes, and liver. Immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The findings highlight the importance of TB surveillance in nonhuman primates.
新大陆猴很少患有活动性肺结核。一只褐吼猴在城市地区受伤。组织病理学显示肺部、淋巴结和肝脏有肉芽肿性炎症。免疫组织化学和分子分析证实了结核分枝杆菌复合群的存在。这些发现强调了在非人类灵长类动物中进行结核病监测的重要性。
