    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Zoonotic Diseases

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern.
    • Canine TB is infrequently reported, with limited data on its clinical presentation and epidemiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the incidence and clinical findings of natural Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in dogs.
    • To investigate the association between canine TB and human TB cases.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 15,272 canine necropsies was conducted.
    • Clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings were reviewed for cases diagnosed with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

    Main Results:

    • Eight dogs (0.05%) were diagnosed with natural Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

  • Clinical signs included anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, vomiting, and leukocytosis.
  • Radiographic findings revealed pleural and pericardial effusion, ascites, and hepatomegaly. Granulomatous lesions with acid-fast bacilli were observed, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from five dogs.
  • All eight dogs had a history of contact with human tuberculosis patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Natural Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in dogs is rare but occurs.
    • Canine TB cases in this study were linked to exposure to human tuberculosis patients, highlighting a potential zoonotic risk.
    • The clinical and radiographic findings can aid in diagnosing canine tuberculosis.
