PERITONITIS DUE TO TRANSVERSE COLON PERFORATION: A RARE PRESENTATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 35
Abstract
Abdominal tuberculosis is defined as infection of the peritoneum, hollow or solid abdominal organs with Mycobacterium tuberculi. TB can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract including anus, peritoneum and hepatobiliary system. The peritoneum and the ileocaecal region are the most likely sites of infection. The clinical manifestations of abdominal tuberculosis are nonspecific and mimic various GI disorders and cause delay in diagnosis and management. This pathology has several complications, including free intestinal perforation.
