Bacteria in the complex and nontuberculous mycobacteria may affect a variety of animal species under human care and pose public health risks as zoonotic pathogens. A case of sudden onset of lethargy and increased respiratory effort in a 5-y-old, intact female reindeer () under managed care had progressed to severe dyspnea despite aggressive treatment. The animal was euthanized due to poor prognosis.

Stringent sanitary standards are imperative for swine production, ensuring high biosecurity and safe meat. However, granulomatous lesions, often detected as "lymphadenitis" in slaughterhouses, lack routine laboratory examination, potentially overlooking tuberculosis among other etiologies. This study aimed to: (i) explore epidemiological variables linked to swine carcasses condemned due to "tuberculosis" or "lymphadenitis" in Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil in a retrospective survey; and (ii) evaluate the frequency of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in granulomatous lymphadenitis lesions.

Article Synopsis
- * The case report outlines four instances of extrapulmonary NTM disease in immunocompetent patients, with varied clinical outcomes ranging from meningitis and brain abscesses to cervical lymphadenopathy, highlighting misdiagnoses with tuberculosis.
- * The findings emphasize the importance of awareness among clinicians regarding NTM disease, as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes, especially for those with more severe infections.
