Forum Talk ASK THE VET (Tuberculosis) by Linda Pesek, DVM Westbury Animal Hospital 319 Union Avenue Westbury, NY This article first appeared in SQUAWK, the newsletter of the Big Apple Bird Association, and appears here with permission. Tuberculosis is an infectious granulomatous (walled off area of infection) disease of animals and people. It is caused by an acid-fast bacterial rod known as mycobacterium. In humans, TB is caused by M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, and occasionally, M. avium. In birds, M. avium is the usual agent although M. bovis and M. tuberculosis can cause disease as well. In humans, the incidence of TB is increasing, especially in people whose immune systems are compromised, such as those infected with the AIDS virus. All birds are susceptible to avian tuberculosis. It is most prevalent where there is a high population density, such as in zoos, or collections of birds. Brotogerid parakeets, ringneck and related parakeets, amazons, Grey Cheeks, and pionus parrots seem to be especially susceptible. Although sudden death can occur in a bird with normal body weight, the usual presentation of a bird with TB is one of progressive weight loss in spite of a good appetite. Depression, diarrhea, increased thirst, and respiratory difficulty may also be present. Decreased egg production often occurs in birds that were laying eggs. Once the disease appears, it is impossible to eliminate. Eventual death is the usual outcome.

Tuberculosis, sometimes referred to as TB, is a disease caused by an organism called mycobacterium tuberculosis. These bacteria can attack any part of the body, but they most commonly attack the lungs. The spread of tuberculosis A TB patient covers her mouth in an attempt to stop the spread of disease A person can have active or inactive tuberculosis. Active TB or TB disease means the bacteria are active in the body and the immune system is unable to stop them from causing illness. People with active TB in their lungs can pass the bacteria on to anyone they come into close contact with. When a person with active TB coughs, sneezes or spits, people nearby may breathe in the tuberculosis bacteria and become infected. Left untreated, each person with active TB will infect on average between 10 and 15 people every year. People can also be infected with tuberculosis that is not active in the body. Inactive TB infection is also called latent TB. If a person has latent TB, it means their body has been able to successfully fight the bacteria and stop them from causing illness. People who have latent TB do not feel sick, do not have symptoms and cannot spread tuberculosis. In some people tuberculosis bacteria remain inactive for a lifetime without becoming active. But in some other people the inactive TB may become active TB if their immune system becomes weakened - for example by HIV. People with inactive TB are also called TB carriers.

Public release date: 14-Mar-2008 E-mail Article Contact: Andrew Klein ank2017@med.cornell.edu New York- Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center New chemical can kill latent tuberculosis bacteria Eliminating this dormant but threatening form of the bacteria could prevent TB's spread, Weill Cornell researchers say NEW YORK (March 13, 2008) Success in the laboratory suggests that a new compound can point the way to preventing active tuberculosis in people infected with the latent form of the bacterium, says a team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. A drug with such properties could also be useful in treating people who already have tuberculosis by shortening the lengthy treatment period. The discovery also points to new ways of thinking about fighting bacterial infection, which is becoming increasingly resistant to traditional antibiotics. "With each new case of antibiotic resistance, doctors are losing ground against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other infectious diseases," explains the study's senior author Dr. Carl Nathan, chairman of Microbiology and Immunology and the R.A. Rees Pritchett Professor of Microbiology at Weill Cornell Medical College. "This new approach fights the pathogen in a way that's different from conventional antibiotics. For what may be the first time, we have found compounds that only kill M. tuberculosis when they are not dividing. This lack of replication is a characteristic of latent bacteria, which are tough to eradicate with existing antibiotics and ultimately play a huge role in the epidemic's spread."

Where did TB come from? Mycobacteria are Gram-positive (no outer cell membrane), non-motile , pleomorphic rods, related to the Actinomyces. Most Mycobacteria are found in habitats such as water or soil. However, a few are intracellular pathogens of animals and humans. Mycobacterium tuberculosis , along with M. bovis M. africanum , and M. microti all cause the disease known as tuberculosis (TB) and are members of the tuberculosis species complex. Each member of the TB complex is pathogenic, but M. tuberculosis is pathogenic for humans while M. bovis is usually pathogenic for animals. M. bovis was causing TB in the animal kingdom long before invading humans. However, after the domestication of cattle between 8000-4000 BC, there is archaeological evidence of human infection by M. bovis

During the 19th century, up to 25 per cent of deaths in Europe were caused by this disease. The death toll began to fall as living standards improved at the start of the 20th century, and from the 1940s, effective medicines were developed. However, there are now more people in the world with TB than there were in 1950, and 3 million individuals will die this year from this disease - mainly in less developed countries.
