    Multifocal tuberculosis, primarily affecting immigrants, frequently involves the liver and lymph nodes. Mild symptoms and rare lung involvement highlight the importance of liver biopsy for diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Internal Medicine
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Presents 16 cases of multifocal tuberculosis over five years.
    • Observed within a general medical unit setting.
    • Focuses on a specific patient demographic: immigrants.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the characteristics of multifocal tuberculosis in a general medical unit.
    • To highlight common sites of involvement and diagnostic challenges.
    • To emphasize the diagnostic utility of liver biopsy.

    Summary:

    • Multifocal tuberculosis (TB) cases predominantly occurred in immigrants (14/16).
    • Most cases (9/16) exhibited multiple TB localizations, commonly affecting the liver, lymph nodes, lungs/pleura, and joints.
    • Clinical presentation was often mild, with infrequent lung involvement but consistent hepatic involvement, necessitating liver biopsy for diagnosis.

    Impact:

    • Underscores the significance of considering multifocal TB in immigrant populations.
    • Recommends liver biopsy as a crucial diagnostic tool for hepatic TB.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the atypical presentation of TB in certain demographics.
