    Tuberculous peritonitis in infants presents with X-ray findings similar to adults. Extended intestinal loops on imaging suggest this diagnosis, especially with clinical signs or lung changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous peritonitis is a serious abdominal infection.
    • Diagnosis in infants can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms.
    • Radiographic findings in pediatric tuberculous peritonitis are not well-established.

    Observation:

    • Three one-year-old children with tuberculous peritonitis were studied.
    • X-ray imaging revealed characteristic patterns previously seen in adult cases.
    • Extended loops of bowel with consistent localization were identified.

    Findings:

    • The radiographic morphology in these infants mimicked adult tuberculous peritonitis.
    • The presence of fixed, extended intestinal loops is a key diagnostic indicator.

  • Radiographic findings are more indicative when correlated with clinical presentation and pulmonary status.

    • Implications:

    • This study suggests that adult radiographic patterns of tuberculous peritonitis can occur in infants.
    • X-ray interpretation should consider these specific findings in the differential diagnosis of pediatric abdominal conditions.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis through imaging can lead to timely intervention and improved outcomes for children.
