title: [Disseminated Mycobacterium bovis tuberculosis in an aged female patient without HIV infection].
abstract: The authors report the case of a woman affected by disseminated infection caused by Mycobacterium bovis, without risk exposure and immunodeficiency. There were chest and urinary localisations and bacteremia. Usually, M bovis is responsible of chest tuberculosis, in patients with professional exposure. Disseminated forms usually affect patients with immunodeficiency. Bacteria may be responsible of about 1% of tuberculosis, but real frequency is not known, because of its non specific report.
