Mycobacterium Bovis infection in children in the same family: transmission through inhalation

Two children in the same family were infected with Mycobacterium bovis (“M. bovis”). The molecular typing showed an identical source of infection. Althoughon school of thought was that the route of transmission was by ingestion of contaminated dairy milk, in other it was thought to be by air-borne t...

description Two children in the same family were infected with Mycobacterium bovis (“M. bovis”). The molecular typing showed an identical source of infection. Althoughon school of thought was that the route of transmission was by ingestion of contaminated dairy milk, in other it was thought to be by air-borne transmission. The presentation highlighted the possibility of M. bovis infection in the pediatrics populations through aerosols.
