[Prolonged fever and latent tuberculous foci].

Two cases of prolonged fever are reported. In the first case a tuberculous abscess of the liver was considered after an ultrasonic examination of the periphery of an hepatic calcification discovered many years ago; a right hepatectomy confirmed the diagnosis. The second patient was treated twenty years ago for a tuberculous exsudative peritonitis. The pelvic examination showed a myoma. A computed body tomogram disclosed a picture of pyometritis. This was confirmed by laparotomy showing tuberculous salpingitis and pyometritis by praevia myoma.
