[Chronic abdominal pains caused by peritoneal tuberculosis - two case reports]
Diagnosing peritoneal tuberculosis can be challenging due to vague symptoms. This report details two successful recovery cases through prompt diagnosis and standard tuberculostatic therapy.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Infectious Diseases
- Pathology
Background:
- Peritoneal tuberculosis presents with nonspecific symptoms, complicating diagnosis.
- Chronic abdominal pain, weight loss, and ascites are key indicators.
Observation:
- Two patients presented with therapy-refractory chronic abdominal pain, weight loss, and ascites.
- Exploratory laparotomy with peritoneal and omentum biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
Findings:
- Histopathology confirmed peritoneal tuberculosis in both cases.
- Standard tuberculostatic therapy (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, streptomycin) led to complete recovery.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering peritoneal tuberculosis in complex abdominal pain cases.
- Demonstrates the efficacy of established treatment protocols for peritoneal tuberculosis.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
Appendicitis-I: Introduction
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
