Abstract

Bovine tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the M. tuberculosis complex, is a zoonosis transmitted through the inhalation of infected droplets or the ingestion of raw milk. Human bovine tuberculosis has been reported rarely in most countries since the introduction of pasteurized milk and M. bovis eradication programs. However, it has been reported in other areas with poorly controlled programs. We encountered a case of localized empyema due to M. bovis infection in a pregnant female immigrant from Vietnam. We report this case with a brief review of the related literature.

국내에서는 M. bovis에 대한 사람 감염의 보고는 없었으나 소에서의 감염률은 약 0.15%로 보고되고 있고, 개발도상국에서 M. bovis 감염률은 10-15% 정도로 보고되고 있다. 최근 다문화 가정이 증가하고 이주민 특히 개발도상국에서 국내로 이주가 증가함에 따라 이주민들에서 결핵 진단 시 M. bovis 등의 감염을 감별할 필요가 있다. 따라서 저자들은 베트남 이주 여성에서 국소적으로 발생한 농흉에서 얻은 조직으로 M. bovis를 진단하고 치료하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
