Five Basset Hounds (2 females and 3 males) under the age of 5 years, acquired systemic tuberculosis. We suspected tuberculosis in one dog, because it had histologic lesions similar to those in 4 dogs in which bacteria were identified as Mycobacterium avium complex. A review of canine tuberculosis revealed a similar diagnosis in a Basset Hound. The association of this infection in Basset Hounds suggests an inherited immunologic defect. Results of our survey suggest that the defect might exist in cell-mediated immunity.
