RESUMEN
Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente con fiebre de origen desconocido por hepatitis granulomatosa de etiología tuberculosa. Se trata de una paciente de 50 años de edad con 50 días de enfermedad caracterizada por escalofríos, fiebre de 39 ºC y diaforesis profusa. Antecedente de malaria en siete ocasiones. Al examen de ingreso se encontró una paciente adelgazada y pálida. En la evolución desarrolló pancitopenia, hepatoesplenomegalia masiva, ictericia y anasarca. Se hicieron pruebas de tamizaje para infecciones, neoplasias, colagenosis y enfermedades garnulomatosas. Los exámenes de laboratorio mostraron disociación fosfatasa alcalina-transaminasas y fue la pista que condujo al diagnóstico final de tuberculosis mediante el estudio histológico del parénquima hepático. El tratamiento específico para tuberculosis produjo remisión de la fiebre, ascitis y hepatomegalia, y normalización de las pruebas hepáticas con evolución clínica satisfactoria.
ABSTRACT
The clinical case of one patient with fever of unknown origin, due to granulomatous hepatitis of tuberculous etiology was presented. The patient was a a 50-year-old woman, with 50 days illness characterized by chills, 39°C fever and heavy diaphoresis. She had a record of seven malaria cases. She looked thin and pale at the initial physical examination. During the evolution, she developed pancytopenia, massive hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, and anasarca. The patient underwent screening tests for infection, neoplasias, collagenosis, and granulomatous diseases. The laboratory tests showed transaminase-alkaline phosphatase dissociation, which led to the final diagnosis of tuberculosis, through the histological examination of the liver parenchyma. The specific treatment against tuberculosis caused remission of fever, ascites, and hepatomegaly and normalization of liver tests, with satisfactory clinical evolution.
