A 14-year-old boy was gored by a bull during festival celebrations. The hor
n of the bull caused a wound on his left hand and after 3 months it was acc
ompanied by an ulcerated nodule on the left upper arm and an axillary adeno
pathy. The tuberculin test was positive and a culture of the aspiration bio
psy specimen of the axillary lymph node yielded Mycobacterium bovis.
