Tuberculosis (TB) of the liver is uncommon and can mimic other diseases. This case highlights a rare presentation of a liver abscess caused by tuberculosis, accompanied by a right-sided pleural effusion.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern.
  • Hepatic tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • Liver TB can present with diverse clinical and radiological features, often mimicking other hepatic pathologies.

Observation:

  • A case of tuberculosis liver abscess is presented.
  • The patient exhibited a right-sided pleural effusion.
  • The clinical presentation was similar to more common liver conditions.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of hepatic tuberculosis requires high index of suspicion.
  • Combined liver abscess and pleural effusion can be a presentation of disseminated TB.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of liver abscesses, especially in endemic areas.
  • Awareness of rare presentations like hepatic TB with pleural effusion can aid clinicians in timely diagnosis.
  • Further research into diagnostic modalities for hepatic TB is warranted.
