Isolated splenic tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient.

Sanjay Kumar Mandal¹, Jacky Ganguly, Koelina Sil, Sumanta Chatterjee.

Abstract

A 20-year-old woman presented with fever and was eventually diagnosed with splenic tuberculosis as the sole site of the disease. Laboratory data gave no specific information for diagnosis except for a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate and mild anaemia. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed splenomegaly with multiple hypoechoic lesions within it. A diagnosis of isolated splenic tuberculosis was confirmed after CT-guided aspiration from splenic lesions showed the presence of acid-fast bacilli.
