Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. Despite early diagnosis and improvements in medical science, the incidence of the disease is still a major public health problem in developing countries. Splenic tuberculosis is quite rare and occurs mostly as a part of miliary tuberculosis in individuals with immunosuppression. Isolated splenic tuberculosis is extremely rare in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of an immunocompetent man with isolated splenic tuberculosis.
结核病是全球十大死因之一，也是单一传染源导致死亡的首要原因。尽管有早期诊断以及医学的进步，但在发展中国家，该疾病的发病率仍是一个重大的公共卫生问题。脾结核相当罕见，主要作为粟粒性结核的一部分出现在免疫抑制个体中。孤立性脾结核在免疫功能正常的患者中极为罕见。我们报告一例免疫功能正常男性患孤立性脾结核的病例。
