Intestinal tuberculosis, though uncommon in Western countries, presents with symptoms mimicking Crohn's disease. Early suspicion and diagnosis are crucial, especially in endemic areas and among immunocompromised individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Intestinal tuberculosis (IT) is a rare but persistent condition globally.
  • Cases from Vietnam highlight IT's continued presence and diagnostic challenges.
  • Western countries may overlook IT due to its rarity.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and management of intestinal tuberculosis in Vietnam.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering IT in differential diagnoses.
  • To compare IT presentation with other gastrointestinal conditions.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of 76 patients in Vietnam revealed intestinal obstruction as the primary symptom (68%).
  • Diagnosis relied on pathological examination, Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection, or PCR.

  • Surgical intervention was common (82%), with significant postoperative mortality (13%) often linked to cachexia.

    • Impact:

    • Findings underscore the need for high clinical suspicion of IT in endemic regions, particularly with stenosis and thickened intestinal walls.
    • The study advises considering IT in Western patients with similar presentations, especially immigrants and the immunocompromised.
    • Improved diagnostic strategies and timely treatment are essential for better patient outcomes.
