Isolated tuberculous liver abscess in immunocompetent children - report of two cases.

Girish Chandra Bhatt1, Devki Nandan, Sarman Singh.   

Abstract

Isolated tuberculous liver abscess (TLA) without active pulmonary or miliary tuberculosis, or other clinical evidence of tuberculosis, is distinctly rare and only few cases have been reported in the literature. We report two cases of isolated TLA in immunocompetent children, treated successfully by percutaneous aspiration followed by systemic antituberculous drugs.
