    Abstract:
    Two cases are reported of hepatic tuberculous abscesses (HTBA) in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), stressing the rarity of this location. Likewise, a review is made of cases reported in the literature. Our two patients presented with a prolonged febrile condition, with constitutional symptoms and nonspecific abdominal discomfort. In one patient the hepatic location was accompanied by a pulmonar location too. The course of the patients was good and symptoms subsided with tuberculostatic therapy. To note the possibility of finding hepatic tuberculous abscesses in HIV patients with prolonged fever and nonspecific abdominal pain more frequently than considered until now.
