Abstract

A 76‐year‐old Japanese woman contracted a Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( TB , Manila type) infection in Japan, despite never having traveled. However, her son was treated for TB in the Philippines 3 years before he stayed at her house. Spoligotyping allows us to identify the TB genotype and identify the route of infection.
