'''The radiograph above shows two views at 90° to each other, of the leg of a 3-year-old female goshawk that was presented lame. The owner was concerned that she might have traumatized the leg whilst out hunting the previous week.'''
<br>
<FlashCard questions="4">
|q1= What does the radiograph demonstrate?
|a1= The radiograph shows a locular area of bone lysis in the tarsometatarsus.
|l1= Mycobacterium avium
|q2= What is the most likely aetiology of this lesion and how would you confirm the diagnosis?
|a2= Such a lesion is most likely to be due to ''Mycobacterium avium'' osteomyelitis.
Biopsy of the mass and staining with Ziehl–Neelsen stain for the presence of acid-fast bacilli is diagnostic. If required the organism may also be cultured.
|l2= Mycobacterium avium
|q3= What is the recommended treatment?
|a3= In view of the poor success rate of treating this infection, together with the zoonotic potential, therapy is not recommended.
The bird should be euthanased, and any birds that have been kept in the same aviary or who may have access to ground on which this bird had defecated, should be screened for ''M. avium''.
|l3= Mycobacterium avium
|q4= How is the condition likely to have arisen?
|a4= Infection can theoretically arise due to faecal contamination of open-topped aviaries by infected feral birds or following the ingestion of infected quarry or food. In practice, the vast majority of cases arise after the ingestion of infected quarry or food.
|l4= Mycobacterium avium
