ABSTRACT

A young female health professional was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Source finding and contact tracing was initiated by the regional municipal health service using both tuberculin skin test and QuantiFERON(®)-TB Gold (QFT-GIT (IGRA). The strain appeared near-identical to that of an elderly Dutch patient.
