During the course of typhoid fever, the usual histologic finding of the liver is "nonspecific reactive hepatitis." Hepatic granuloma (HG) is a rare complication of typhoid fever. We present two cases of typhoid fever with HG and review the relevant literature. Case 1 (a 53-year-old female) was found to have both hepatic and splenic granulomas. This is the first case of typhoid fever with splenic granulomas in the English language literature. Case 2 (a 66-year-old male) developed granulomas in the bone marrow in addition to HG. It should be considered that typhoid fever may lead to granulomas in several organs.
在伤寒热病程中,肝脏常见的组织学表现为“非特异性反应性肝炎”。肝肉芽肿(HG)是伤寒热的一种罕见并发症。我们报告两例伴有HG的伤寒热病例并复习相关文献。病例1(一名53岁女性)被发现同时有肝脏和脾脏肉芽肿。这是英文文献中首例伴有脾脏肉芽肿的伤寒热病例。病例2(一名66岁男性)除HG外,骨髓中也出现了肉芽肿。应该认识到伤寒热可能导致多个器官出现肉芽肿。
