  • Title: Isolated tuberculous hepatic abscess in a non-immunocompromised patient.
    Author: Balsarkar D, Joshi MA.
    Journal: J Postgrad Med; 2000; 46(2):108-9. PubMed ID: 11013479.
    Abstract:
    A 38 years old female presented with pain in the epigastrium, jaundice and fever since one and half month. The computerised tomographic scan of the abdomen revealed a multiloculated abscess of the left lobe of liver. The pus drained from the liver abscess at laparotomy showed acid fast bacilli on microscopy. A detailed search failed to identify any other focus of tuberculous infection. The case has been reported for the rarity of isolated hepatic tuberculous abscess and its presentation with jaundice, a rare feature, and to highlight the importance of microscopic or culture diagnosis in a suspected case of pyaemic abscess.
