Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious-infectious disease caused mainly by <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> that in most individuals is usually asymptomatic but that in at risk individuals (e.g. with diabetes or with HIV infection) can cause weakness, fever, weight loss, night sweat, and respiratory anomalies such as chronic cough, chest pain, hemoptysis or respiratory insufficiency.

Splenomegaly

Abnormal increased size of the spleen.

Kekkaku. 2009;84(10):675-9.
The patient was diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis, but about abdominal lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly we had to differentiate malignant lymphoma, and for definite diagnosis, laparotomy was necessary.

Kekkaku. 2009;84(10):675-9.
Pulmonary tuberculosis, abdominal lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly all showed marked improvement 4 months after starting anti-tuberculosis therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol, so we clinically diagnosed abdominal tuberculous lymphadenitis and splenic tuberculosis.

Sarcoidosis manifesting as massive splenomegaly: a rare occurrence.
Mohan A, Sood R, Shariff N, Gulati MS, Gupta SD, Dutta AK.
Am J Med Sci. 2004;328(3):170-2.
Splenomegaly is usually homogeneous, but multiple low-attenuating nodular lesions are occasionally seen and easily mistaken for lymphoma, metastases, or infections such as tuberculosis.

Acute hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia: a new presentation of disseminated mycobacterial infection in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Levin M.
Acta Haematol. 1994;91(1):28-31.
Our experience suggests that disseminated MAC may present with acute splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia in these patients and that a high index of suspicion for disseminated tuberculosis is indispensable in order to avoid delay in diagnosis and treatment in patients presenting with rapidly progressive splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia.

Ter Arkh. 1991;63(2):133-5.
Out of 10 patients with genuine splenomegaly, the cause of which could not be ascertained at the prehospital stage, the enlargement of the spleen in 2 was due to liver cirrhosis, in 3, to subleukemic myelosis, in 1, to splenic tuberculosis, in 2, to multiple capillary angiomas of the spleen, in 1, to chronic monocytic leukemia, and in 1 patient, to splenic echinococcosis.
