Abstract

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from the eyelid, skin, tongue, and lungs of a green-winged macaw ( Ara chloroptera ). Two persons living in the same household were culture positive for pulmonary tuberculosis 3 to 4 years before tuberculosis was diagnosed in the bird. Although humans have not been shown to acquire tuberculosis from birds, an infected bird may be a sentinel for human infection.
