    Diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis relies on clinical and radiological findings, not invasive procedures. All five patients successfully responded to anti-tubercular therapy, highlighting effective treatment outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous peritonitis is a significant diagnostic challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present five cases of tuberculous peritonitis.
    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of clinical and radiological features.
    • To evaluate the treatment response to anti-tubercular therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and radiological findings.
    • Review of treatment protocols and patient responses.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Five cases of tuberculous peritonitis were identified.
    • Diagnosis was established using clinical and radiological assessments.
    • No cases required peritoneoscopy or laparotomy for diagnosis.
    • All patients demonstrated a positive response to anti-tubercular therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical and radiological findings are sufficient for diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis.
    • Non-invasive diagnostic methods can be effective.
    • Anti-tubercular therapy is a successful treatment modality for tuberculous peritonitis.
