What is your diagnosis? (77)
At the end of the post you can vote for the right diagnosis!
At the beginning of the year we published the 100 granuloma challenge which sought to encourage the submission of granulomatous lesions to meet set goal for the detection of new tuberculosis outbreaks in slaughterhouses.
To date the achievement of the challenge is only 18% in the case of the bovine species, but of 40% if we bring together all the species susceptible to this disease. The good news is that there is still a whole quarter to achieve it!
Species | Nº Suspected cases | Confirmed as TB |
BOVINE | 18 | 8 |
CAPRINE | 5 | 1 |
OVINE | 8 | 2 |
WILD BOAR | 4 | 1 |
PORCINE | 2 | 1 (M.avium) |
MOUFLON | 3 | 0 |
TOTAL | 40 | 13 |
In this post we present images of a mediastinal lymph node of an eleven months old, male, Parda breed calf with tuberculosis-compatible macroscopic lesions. We invite you to solve which etiologic agent was isolated from the lesion that is observed in this lymph node.
