Abstract: (44869 Views)
Despite extensive preventive efforts and access to effective drugs and vaccines, tuberculosis still remains an important health problem around the world. Tuberculosis bacteria can infect the gastrointestinal tract through the primary foci of infection in the lungs via the mesenteric lymph nodes or directly through the blood or lymph. Due to non-specific clinical symptoms, early peritonitis is diagnosed with a delay. The lack of specific biological and radiographic markers and the long history of bacterial culture make the diagnosis of peritonitis difficult. In this study, two cases of abdominal involvement with clinical symptoms of acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and severe weight loss were reported.
