Hepatosplenic tuberculosis mimicking disseminated candidiasis in patients with acute leukemia

D G Lee et al. Int J Hematol. 2001 Jan.

Abstract

Two cases of hepatosplenic tuberculosis in patients with acute leukemia during or after chemotherapy following prolonged neutropenia are presented. Tuberculosis should be considered as one cause of hepatosplenic abscesses during prolonged neutropenia, especially in countries where the disease is endemic.
