Case Report: Modified Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) In Treatment of Perforated Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
In recent years, there is increasing incidence of tuberculosis in Malaysia population and worldwide. Along with this, abdominal tuberculosis has become more frequently encountered in our health care setting. Perforated gastrointestinal tuberculosis posts a very high surgical mortality risk and therefore, its management remains controversial. Here, we presented a case of abdominal tuberculosis complicated with gastrointestinal perforation which was successfully treated with modified diagnostic peritoneal lavage and concomitant anti-tuberculous therapy. No laparotomy surgery was required.
