Abstract

A liver abscess is a collection of purulent fluid in the liver parenchyma caused by a variety of etiological organisms such as bacteria, protozoa, and in rare occasions fungi. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a frequent and widespread infection in underdeveloped nations such as India, which can manifest in many ways. Tuberculosis mostly affects the lungs, although it can also affect any organ in the body. We are reporting a case of liver abscess caused by MTB infection in order to raise general awareness among physicians about the importance of suspecting and ruling out tuberculosis as a cause of liver abscess. To the best of our knowledge, there have been very few such cases reported from India/the rest of the world.

一例免疫功能正常的成年男性出现由结核分枝杆菌引起的肝脓肿:一例来自印度的报告。
肝脓肿是肝实质中化脓性液体的集合,由多种病原生物如细菌、原生动物和罕见的真菌引起。结核分枝杆菌(MTB)在印度等不发达国家是一种常见和广泛的感染,它可以以多种方式表现出来。结核病主要影响肺部,尽管它也可以影响身体的任何器官。我们报告一例由结核分枝杆菌感染引起的肝脓肿,以提高医生对怀疑和排除结核作为肝脓肿原因的重要性的普遍认识。据我们所知,印度和世界其他地方报道的此类病例很少。
