A 34-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because she had an intermittent fever for two months. The patient had a history of contact with pigeons. She had no human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and her physical examination was normal. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and multiple retroperitoneal lymphadenopathies, and the largest enlarged lymph node was in hepatic hilum.
