    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous peritonitis is a rare but serious infection.
    • Diagnosis can be difficult due to non-specific symptoms and negative initial tests.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of tuberculous peritonitis presented with fever, abdominal pain, and general decline.
    • Standard diagnostic methods like Ziehl-Neelsen staining and animal inoculation were negative in both patients.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis in the first patient required a therapeutic trial of antituberculous drugs after complications from surgery.
    • The second patient's diagnosis was confirmed during a laparotomy.

    Implications:

    • Bacteriological confirmation is often absent in tuberculous peritonitis.
    • Clinical presentation and compatible histological findings should guide diagnosis and treatment initiation.
