Abstract:
An 18-year-old man presented with complaints of epigastric pain, vomiting after meals, loss of appetite and weight, evening rise of temperature, and irregular bowel movements. Barium meal follow-through revealed a dilated stomach and first and second parts of the duodenum and stenotic lesion in the second part of the duodenum. Endoscopic biopsy of the stenotic lesion revealed acute on chronic nonspecific duodenitis with fibrosis. Isoperistaltic antecolic gastrojejunostomy was done to bypass the obstruction, and enlarged lymph nodes were biopsied. The biopsy of the enlarged lymph nodes revealed changes consistent with tuberculosis; therefore, the patient was started on antituberculous drugs in the postoperative period.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
