In a survey of 15,272 canine necropsies, natural infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis was found to have been diagnosed in eight dogs (0.05%). Clinical findings were anorexia, loss of body weight, lethargy, vomiting, and leukocytosis; radiography revealed pleural and pericardial effusion, ascites, and hepatomegaly. Granulomatous lesions with acid-fast bacilli were consistently found. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from lesions in the lungs, liver, or lymph nodes of five dogs. All eight dogs had a history of contact with human patients with tuberculosis.
