The clinical case of one patient with fever of unknown origin, due to granulomatous hepatitis of tuberculous etiology was presented. The patient was a a 50-year-old woman, with 50 days illness characterized by chills, 39 degrees C fever and heavy diaphoresis. She had a record of seven malaria cases. She looked thin and pale at the initial physical examination. During the evolution, she developed pancytopenia, massive hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, and anasarca. The patient underwent screening tests for infection, neoplasias, collagenosis, and granulomatous diseases. The laboratory tests showed transaminase-alkaline phosphatase dissociation, which led to the final diagnosis of tuberculosis, through the histological examination of the liver parenchyma. The specific treatment against tuberculosis caused remission of fever, ascites, and hepatomegaly and normalization of liver tests, with satisfactory clinical evolution.

A 38 year old patient presented with fever, myalgic abdominal pain, nose bleeding and acute renal failure since five days. A combination of thrombocytopenia, proteinuria, elevated CrP and creatinin is common in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) due to Hantavirus infection. The benigne form is called Nephropathia epidemica. Dialysis is infrequently required by patients with the Puumala virus. Other infection (e.g. malaria, leptospirosis, yellow fever) and systemic diseases (e.g. collagenosis or vasculitis) are considered.
