Abstract:
A case of ileocecal tuberculosis associated to lymphatic nodes TB, is presented. This association is not frequently observed in all series and isolated cases registered in medical literature. In this particular case, we comment on the pathogenic problems of primary intestinal TB and the importance of the systemic clinical suspicion to diagnose this, nowadays, rare problem in our area. Finally, we discuss the value of certain diagnosis criteria related to the actual therapy, in which the conservative character is dominant, this therapy also being applied to post-surgical fistula in some individual cases such as the one presented here.
