Portal Venous Thrombosis-Disseminated Tuberculosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Vascular thrombosis is one of the complications of tuberculosis. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thrombosis have been reported with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Splenic involvement in abdominal tuberculosis is among the rarest manifestations. Disseminated tuberculosis is predominantly reported in rheumatoid arthritis following ingestion of biological agents.

She was treated with antitubercular drugs, anticoagulants and showed improvement.
