Tuberculosis (TB) affecting only the liver is rare and can be challenging to diagnose, sometimes only found during autopsy. Liver TB can also occur with widespread TB, with varied responses to treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) can manifest in various organs, including the liver, either as an isolated finding or as part of a disseminated infection.
  • Liver involvement in TB presents diagnostic challenges, particularly when it is the sole organ affected.

Observation:

  • This study presents three cases of hepatic tuberculosis.
  • One case involved isolated liver TB, with diagnosis confirmed only post-mortem.
  • The other two cases were part of disseminated TB processes.

Findings:

  • In cases of disseminated TB with liver involvement, therapeutic outcomes varied.
  • One patient showed improved liver function after treatment.
  • Another patient succumbed to cardio-respiratory and hepatic insufficiency despite therapy.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of liver TB is crucial for effective management.
  • The varied clinical presentation and response to treatment highlight the complexity of hepatic tuberculosis.
  • Further research is needed to improve diagnostic strategies and therapeutic outcomes for liver TB.
