 AB    Two cases are reported of hepatic tuberculous abscesses (HTBA) in
       patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), stressing
       the rarity of this location. Likewise, a review is made of cases
       reported in the literature. Our two patients presented with a prolonged
       febrile condition, with constitutional symptoms and nonspecific
       abdominal discomfort. In one patient the hepatic location was
       accompanied by a pulmonar location too. The course of the patients was
       good and symptoms subsided with tuberculostatic therapy. To note the
       possibility of finding hepatic tuberculous abscesses in HIV patients
       with prolonged fever and nonspecific abdominal pain more frequently than
       considered until now.
