Abstract

Liver biopsy was carried out in 35 cases of disseminated tuberculosis. Seventeen percent showed evidence of tubercle on liver and was noted more often in miliary tuberculosis (33%), tuberculous meningitis (26%) and in tuberculous bronchopneumonia (15%). Hepatomegaly of greater than 4 cm with abnormal liver function tests revealed tuberculous granuloma more often as compared with 2–4 cm liver enlargement. SGOT was significantly raised in hepatic granuloma.
