Abstract:
The article deals with the difficulties of establishing the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis. Seven patients were under observation. In 5 the diagnosis was made histologically after operative intervention. In 6 patients abdominal tuberculosis was combined with a specific process in the lungs. Two cases of tuberculosis of the stomach, intestine, and mesenteric lymph nodes following a course resembling that of an abdominal "tumor" are described. For the exclusion of tuberculosis it is recommended that fluorographic examination of the lungs should be included in the complex preoperative management of patients.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
