AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Eubacterium tortuosum, a gram-positive anaerobic filamentous bacillus, was isolated from splenic and hepatic granulomas of a 56-day-old slaughtered chicken. This isolate was injected intravenously into two groups of 2-week-old broiler chickens, which were necropsied 19 days later. Five of 15 chickens injected with 5 x 10(6) colony-forming units of a 48-hour culture of E. tortuosum developed splenic granulomas typical of those seen in chickens at slaughter. No lesions were observed in chickens given 5 x 10(5) colony-forming units of E. tortuosum or in control chickens receiving phosphate-buffered saline solution. Attempts to reisolate E. tortuosum from experimentally infected chickens were unsuccessful; however, typical filamentous organisms were observed in splenic granulomas of all five affected chickens.

Sarcoidosis is a rare, multisystemic disease of unknown etiology, characterized by noncaseating granulomas in various organs. The disease often presents with nonspecific symptoms that complicate the diagnosis. We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented to her family doctor with weight loss, cervical lymphadenopathy, parotid edema, and cutaneous lesions, initially raising suspicion of a lymphoproliferative disorder.

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory multisystem disease characterised by non-necrotising granulomas that typically affect the lungs, lymph nodes, eyes, skin, liver, spleen, heart, bones and joints. Although rare, necrotising granulomas can also occur. In this report, we present a case of a healthy woman in her 60s who presented with a 1-year history of fatigue and generalised body aches.

Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy for bladder cancer rarely leads to disseminated BCG infections, most of which occur early after BCG instillations or in immunocompromised patients. We report late-onset disseminated BCG infection after intravesical BCG immunotherapy in a non-immunocompromised patient. A 78-year-old non-immunocompromised man was admitted with fever and hepatosplenomegaly.

In cats, mycobacteriosis tends to present in a syndromic manner, with cases either being due to tuberculosis (TB) (in countries where TB is endemic), one of the "leprosy-like" diseases affecting the skin and subcutis, panniculitis caused by infection of subcutaneous tissues generally with rapidly growing Mycobacteria spp. or widely disseminated granulomatous disease, which is usually caused by members of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC). Disseminated MAC disease is rare, but when it occurs, usually develops in immunocompromised hosts with defective cell-mediated immunity.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem with diverse clinical manifestations. Different cells of the immune response participate in containing the infection, mainly through the development of granulomas. Mast cells (MCs) are hematopoietic cells that participate in the immune response to different pathogens, and in vitro evidence indicates that they can be activated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).
