Abstract
- Idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis is a rare disease of unknown cause that is characterized by recurrent fevers and granuloma in the liver. Attempts to define an exact etiology of the fever of granulomatous hepatitis frequently do not yield a precise diagnosis. Idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis was confirmed after a thorough work up and negative cultures and serologies were obtained, and in the absence of another condition that could lead to granulomas in the liver. We have experienced a 67-year-old female patient who presented with prolonged fever for 2 months and revealed granuloma in liver biopsy. She was treated with glucocorticosteroid and defervescence resulted.
