    Author: Nampoory MR, Halim MM, Sreedharan R, al-Sweih NA, Gupta RK, Constandi JN, Johny KV.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1995 Aug; 71(838):490-2. PubMed ID: 7567759.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 55-year-old man with chronic renal failure, and a history of prolonged fever and jaundice. Radiological studies revealed a multiloculated irregular liver abscess. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from the abscess on smear and culture of aspirated pus. Haematological studies revealed the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation. A detailed search failed to identify any reason for this other than the tuberculous infection. The treatment of tuberculous liver abscess and pathogenesis of disseminated intravascular coagulation in tuberculosis are discussed.
