| description | Tuberculosis (TB) is primarily a respiratory infection with huge mortality and morbidity worldwide. Extrapulmonary TB infection is common, affecting lymph nodes, pleura, and abdomen, but the primary biliary presentation without lung involvement is exceedingly rare. We report on a 38-year-old male patient who presented with isolated obstructive jaundice secondary to TB infection. This case highlights the importance of considering TB infection in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, especially in the endemic area. We also provide a literature review on TB infection, mainly in the biliary tract. |
