    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Colorectal tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • It often presents with nonspecific symptoms, complicating diagnosis.
    • Coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis is infrequent in cases of colorectal tuberculosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a series of colorectal tuberculosis cases.
    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical and medical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of seven patients with colorectal tuberculosis.
    • Review of clinical presentations, radiological findings, and treatment regimens.

  • Follow-up assessment of patient outcomes and long-term results.

    • Main Results:

    • Five cases involved colonic tuberculosis presenting as subacute intestinal obstruction.
    • Two cases involved rectal tuberculosis presenting as rectal strictures.
    • All patients received antitubercular chemotherapy, with surgical resection for colonic cases and dilatation for rectal cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Colorectal tuberculosis requires a high index of suspicion due to atypical radiologic signs.
    • Resectional surgery combined with antitubercular chemotherapy is effective for colonic tuberculosis.
    • Repeated dilatation and antitubercular drugs can successfully manage rectal tuberculosis strictures.
    • All seven patients achieved asymptomatic long-term outcomes following treatment.
