Abstract
Tuberculous lesions of the liver frequently occur in autopsy material, even though most of them are clinically unapparent. Pathogenetically, hepatic tuberculosis is a manifestation of general military tuberculosis with the infection brought in through the hematogenous route (through the hepatic artery or the portal system) as a result of intestinal or mesenteric lymph node tuberculosis. We report a case of combination of hepatic tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus in a young woman with reference to the clinical course of the disease, its diagnostics and treatment.
