Tuberculosis of the liver in end stage renal disease under treatment with hemodialysis.
We present a patient with end stage renal disease treated with hemodialysis, who developed prolonged fever and hepatomegaly. A laparotomy and culture of liver microabscesses led to the diagnosis of tuberculosis of the liver. A complete clinical response was achieved with a course of isoniazid and rifampin.
