  • Title: Miliary tuberculosis presenting as hepatic and renal failure.
    Author: Godwin JE, Coleman AA, Sahn SA.
    Journal: Chest; 1991 Mar; 99(3):752-4. PubMed ID: 1995237.
    Abstract:
    A 67-year-old man developed hepatic and renal failure over a six-day period. Despite full supportive measures, he died on his 11th day of hospitalization with fulminant DIC and hepatic, renal, and respiratory failure. Postmortem examination revealed acid-fast bacilli in virtually all organ systems. Miliary tuberculosis should be considered as a potentially treatable cause of hepatic failure.
