Abstract

We report a case of a 62-y-old man who presented with fever, malaise and weight loss. He was diagnosed with pyrexia of unknown origin due to tuberculosis of the spleen. Combination anti-tuberculous therapy was administered and fever gradually subsided after 6 weeks. A 12-month course of anti-tuberculous treatment would appear to be appropriate for the treatment of most patients with splenic tuberculosis.
