Typhoid fever as a rare cause of hepatic, splenic, and bone marrow granulomas

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

Wilson disease manifested primarily as amenorrhea and accompanying thrombocytopenia

Wilson disease (WD), referred to as hepatolenticular degeneration and occurring primarily as neurological and liver disease, is an inherited disorder that has various clinical presentations [1-3]. The altered gene is localized on the long arm of chromosome 13. Mutations in the Wilson gene are common and include small insertions or deletions. In the cases of unidentified tubular dysfunctions, hemolytic anemias, and urolithiasis, this disease should be kept in mind as the possible etiology. Amenorrhea has been reported in untreated women with WD [1,2,4-8]. Although thrombocytopenia, as a result of hypersplenism and/or as a side effect of D-penicillamin therapy, has been well-documented, the association of idiopathic thrombocytopenia and WD has been published in only one case previously [9]
