Abstract
- Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHCS) is characterized by an inflammation of the hepatic capsule concomitant or following pelvic infection due to Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhea. It is a rare condition occurring most often in a woman of childbearing age and very rare in male patients. Splenic involvement is also a rare form of abdominal tuberculosis. The association of these two conditions is very uncommon. We report the exceptional case of a 58- year-old HIV-positive male patient, with whom abdominal ultrasound helped diagnose FHCS associated with abdominal tuberculosis invovlving the spleen.
