Acute Presentations of Abdominal Tuberculosis - A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The tuberculosis in the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal cavity is termed as abdominal tuberculosis[1,2] . Tubercular abdomen is generally presents in three forms which are ulcerative lesion [3], hyperplastic lesions and sclerotic lesions. Often the abdominal tuberculosis gives an enormous challenge to the surgeon [4]. A surgeon often does a clinical judgement to determine the type of surgical management in case of physiologically compromised patient in the emergency situations. In many developing countries there is an increase in the prevalence of immunocompromised individuals especially due to HIV infection, subsequently increasing the incidence of tuberculosis [5] .
