Abstract
A case of avian tuberculosis is reported in a 10-year-old female Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata). Numerous multi focal to coalescing, caseo-necrotic granulomas in variable sizes were scattered throughout the major parenchymal organs. Histologically, the granulomas have caseonecrotic and occasionally mineralized centers that are surrounded by macrophages, epithelioid cells and Langerhan's type multinucleated giant cells and then by lymphocytes and a few plasma cells and fibrosis. Ziehl - Neelsen's stain revealed myriads of acid-fast bacterial rods present in the cytoplasms of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells.
