    Ileocaecal tuberculosis can be challenging to diagnose, especially when Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not cultured from lesions. This case highlights the importance of surgical findings and histology in confirming the condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Ileocaecal tuberculosis presents diagnostic challenges, often mimicking other inflammatory bowel diseases.
    • Distinguishing between tuberculous enteritis and Crohn's disease is crucial for appropriate patient management.

    Observation:

    • A case of suspected ileocaecal tuberculosis in an Algerian girl.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed intraoperatively and through histological examination revealing caseum.
    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis failed to be cultured from the affected lesions.

    Findings:

    • Operative findings and histological evidence of caseum confirmed ileocaecal tuberculosis.
    • Absence of positive cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complicated the definitive diagnosis.

  • The case underscores diagnostic difficulties in differentiating tuberculous enteritis from Crohn's disease.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the necessity of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of ileocaecal pathologies, particularly in endemic regions.
    • Emphasizes the role of surgical and histological findings when microbiological confirmation is absent.
    • Suggests further research into diagnostic markers for differentiating tuberculous enteritis and Crohn's disease.
