Pathological / Microbiological: FNAC, Histopathology, AFB insputum & CBNAAT, BACTEC 460, ADA. Radiological: X–Ray chest, X-ray abdomen. Ultra-Sonography (USG), Contrast Enhanced Computer Tomography (CECT). Patients admitted in emergency department and attending surgical out patient department were investigated and treated as per protocol. In our study 39 patients out of 59 underwent different surgical procedure and followed by antitubercular treatment regime. 20 Non-operated patients treated medically with antitubercular treatment regime [ATT].
