Caseous lymphadenitis that affected the dorsal and ventral superficial lymph nodes in the left cervicothoracic region of a young dromedary camel is described. The agent isolated was Corynebacterium ulcerans. To our knowledge, this is the first description of purulent lymphadenitis caused by C. ulcerans in a species belonging to the Camelidae.

Caseous lymphadenitis is an infectious disease that has a significant economic impact on sheep breeding. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of season, animals' age, sex, body score and shearing on the clinical incidence of caseous lymphadenitis, relapses and abscess location in sheep from Settat province, Morocco. In this longitudinal study, 274 clinically healthy sheep were recruited in six flocks among 1451 inspected sheep and followed during 12 months to cover four seasons.

Ovine progressive pneumonia and caprine arthritis encephalitis together are referred to as small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs). Along with caseous lymphadenitis (CL), SRLV are 2 of the so-called "iceberg diseases" of sheep and goats. In the case of SRLV, healthy tissue can be replaced with unproductive lymphoid tissue causing loss of milk, poor growth in lambs, swollen and painful joints, and shortened productive lives of infected animals.

Background: In settings with high burden of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the use of various diagnostic modalities can result in superior and quick diagnosis leading to prompt initiation of treatment.
Objective: This study assessed the diagnostic performance of the fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) stain, fluorescence microscopy (FM) and cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) in patients with suspected tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN).
Methods: This cross-sectional studyodes, who underwent FNAC.

Article Synopsis
- A 54-year-old woman with a chronic blood disorder was hospitalized due to swollen lymph nodes and was initially treated for potential lymphoma and other infections without success.
- A biopsy revealed signs of granulomatous lymphadenitis resembling tuberculosis, prompting anti-TB treatment despite no isolation of the pathogen.
- After 9 months with no improvement, subsequent tests identified a non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection, leading to effective treatment and resolution of symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a bacterial disease affecting ruminants that has seen a rise in cases in South Korea since 2014, prompting the development of a new vaccine.
- Researchers created the first inactivated CLA vaccine in South Korea and tested its effectiveness through trials on mice, guinea pigs, and Korean Native Black Goats (KNBGs), finding no clinical symptoms in vaccinated KNBGs and significant levels of CLA-specific IgG.
- The vaccine is designed to prevent infection from a variety of CLA strains, with the potential to protect livestock and support the growth of the domestic KNBG industry in South Korea.
