In Bangladesh tuberculosis (TB) cases are fairly common but isolated hepatobilliary TB cases are extremely rare. Liver abscess due to TB without involvement of any other site causes diagnostic delay and can easily confuse with pyogenic or amoebic liver abscess or haepatocellular carcinoma. We present a case of a 44-years-old diabetic,normotensive male who presented with prolonged high grade fever with chill and rigor with tender hepatomegally. He was put on treatment for liver abscess but was not responding. Later on, histopathology was done and it turned out to be a case of tuberculous liver abscess.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(1) 2018 p.155-157

Background:Metronidazole, a widely used antibacterial and antiprotozoal drug, is often the drug of choice in amoebic liver abscess. The drug, otherwise safe, can cause serious central nervous disturbances in rare circumstances. Case Report:Here, we report a case of cerebellar dysfunction in the form of slurring of speech and episodes of falls, in an elderly male following a three-week course of metronidazole therapy. Results and Conclusion:The patient manifested classic radiologic features of metronidazole neurotoxicity. Marked improvement in clinical symptoms was seen following drug discontinuation.
