在英国，分枝杆菌感染在猫中的频率越来越高。在英国猫的所有常规组织病理学报告中，超过1%的人被发现存在与分枝杆菌病一致的变化，这被认为低估了真实的流行率。分枝杆菌病的临床表现多种多样，难以明确诊断，也难以获得满意的临床结果。此外，还有人畜共患传播感染的可能性。最近的研究工作提高了我们对这些疾病的病因学、病理生理学和治疗选择的理解。本文概述了在英国诊断和管理猫分枝杆菌病临床病例的最新方法。
Mycobacterial infections are recognised with increasing frequency in cats in the UK. Over 1 per cent of all routine histopathological submissions from UK cats are found to have changes consistent with mycobacteriosis, which is thought to be an underestimate of the true prevalence. Mycobacteriosis can be highly variable in clinical presentation, challenging to definitively diagnose, and difficult to manage to obtain satisfactory clinical outcomes. Additionally, there is potential for zoonotic transmission of infection. Recent research efforts have improved our understanding of the aetiology, pathophysiology and therefore treatment options for these diseases. This article outlines an updated approach to diagnosing and managing clinical cases of feline mycobacteriosis in the UK.
