Prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis in human pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in Madagascar.
The prevalence of human tuberculosis (TB) due to Mycobacterium bovis was determined in Madagascar in 1994-1995. A prevalence of M. bovis of 1.25% was observed among sputum smear-positive patients and 1.3% among extra-pulmonary TB patients. This study was conducted in urban areas and will be extended to rural zones, where the majority of the population lives.
