Abstract:
Tuberculous enteritis is an unusual diagnosis in the United States. Because this entity is rare and the symptoms are not specific, the physician must have a high index of suspicion. We report the case of a young man with tuberculous involvement of the gastrointestinal tract who required surgical intervention for small bowel obstruction.
