Multicentric Castleman disease and tuberculosis in HIV positive patient
We present the case of a 40-year-old man, HIV positive with regular adherence to treatment, who consulted for intermittent febrile episodes during a two-years period, progressive diffuse abdominal pain and painless generalized lymphadenopathy in the last two months. Laboratory analysis showed pancytopenia, altered coagulation tests, hypoalbuminemia, and increased acute phase reactants. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis revealed hepato-splenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy. Multiple microbiological tests were performed, including cultures for Mycobacterium sp. from different samples, with negative results, except for the RT-PCR for HHV-8. An excisional biopsy of the left iliac lymph node was taken with findings compatible with Castleman's disease. Despite restarting antiretroviral therapy, the symptoms progressed, starting treatment with steroids and ganciclovir. After a week, he developed multiple organ failure and anasarca, which contraindicated the drugs previously started. A new CT of the chest showed infiltrates with a tree-in-bud pattern in the right upper lobe with bilateral pleural effusion, and at the abdominal level, progression of hepatosplenomegaly and ascites. He was transferred to the intensive care unit 48 hours later due to fulminant hepatic failure. The patient died within a few hours. Postmortem recieved culture results of the tracheal aspirate were positive for tuberculosis (TB) and the histopathology of the liver biopsy showed non-necrotizing granulomas. Our objective is to highlight the importance of screening for active TB, in our country, when Castleman's disease is suspected, before starting treatment, and to stand out that TB can also present as an infectious complication, increasing morbidity and mortality.
