According to the distribution of affected organs, this infection can be categorized as either pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB. Immunodeficiency states resulting from rheumatological disorders and the use of immunosuppressive medications, such as in Behçet's disease (BD), are potential predisposing factors for TB, particularly in cases involving multiple organs.

Background: Bovine paratuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease of ruminants primarily caused by (MAP). It is essentially a chronic granulomatous enteritis characterized by intractable diarrhea, progressive lethargy, and thickening of the intestinal mucosa with the formation of crumpled pouches. Bovine paratuberculosis not only adversely affects milk production and the quality of dairy products but also poses a significant threat to the economic development of dairy farming and human food security.
