Granulomatous hepatitis due to Mycobacterium scrofulaceum: report of a case
Abstract:
A rare case of hepatic granulomatosis due to Mycobacterium scrofulaceum is presented. The prolonged clinical course before liver biopsy was characterized by a disproportionate rise in alkaline phosphatase, moderate hepatomegaly, tiredness, and low-grade fever. Liver biopsy confirmed primary liver granulomatosis in the absence of evidence of pulmonary or systemic involvement. The patient was treated with INH, rifampin, and cycloserine with amelioration of clinical symptoms and return of serum alkaline phosphatase levels to normal.
