Pancreatic tuberculous abscess
Conn Med.
1989 Mar.
Abstract
Pancreatic tuberculous abscess is rare and has been reported only in the past five years. An association with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is suggested. Extensive drainage and appropriate antibiotic therapy is recommended. Intrapancreatic abscesses should be cultured for M. tuberculosis and, if identified, the patient should be studied for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
