DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA

A 4 years old boy presented with jaundice, ascitis, hepatomegaly and multiple abscesses over sternum and back for which he was on antituberculous therapy (ATT) for past 1 month. He was treated for tuberculosis (TB) at 1 year of age for 5 months in view of fever. At 2½ years of age, he had multiple abscesses over neck, sternum, back, left thumb. At 3 years, sternum abscess was drained and he was again given ATT for 7 months. At 3½ years of age, he had icterus and ascitis. His CT chest showed osteolytic lesion in sternum with pericardial effusion, consolidation in left lower lobe of lung and right paravertebral abscess. Ascitic fluid did not grow any MTB after 6 weeks nor did the sternal pus.

Is it TB? What is other likely diagnosis?
