    Abstract:
    Liver abscess due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis associated with pulmonary tuberculosis is a rare diagnosis, particularly in patients without AIDS. We report the case of a male immigrant with no HIV infection who developed a tuberculous liver abscess and pulmonary tuberculosis simultaneously. Ziehl-Neelsen stain, PCR and Löwenstein-Jensen culture of material sampled from the abscess established the microbiological diagnosis. The patient's course was good, with disappearance of symptoms and the abscess after tuberculostatic treatment and drainage of the abscess with monitoring by computed tomography.
