Abstract:
Tuberculous liver abscesses are rare. We report here a case of tuberculous liver abscess that developed in a paradoxical response during appropriate anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy in a 50-year-old male. In this case, a paradoxical response to the treatment of intestinal tuberculosis may have been involved in the pathogenesis of the liver abscess.
