    Computed tomography (CT) findings for abdominal tuberculosis are not specific. However, high-density ascites and mesenteric changes may suggest tuberculous peritonitis in the right clinical context.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a key imaging modality for diagnosing intraabdominal conditions.
    • The specific CT features of abdominal tuberculosis, particularly tuberculous peritonitis, remain challenging to define.
    • Previous research suggested specific CT criteria for tuberculous peritonitis.

    Observation:

    • This study reviewed three additional cases of abdominal tuberculosis.
    • The cases exhibited high-density ascites and mesenteric involvement (thickening and adenopathy).
    • These findings align with previously proposed diagnostic criteria.

    Findings:

    • The CT characteristics of high-density ascites and mesenteric changes were observed.
    • These findings support the proposed criteria for diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis.

  • The observed CT features are suggestive, though not definitive, for abdominal tuberculosis.

    • Implications:

    • The proposed CT criteria, including high-density ascites and mesenteric changes, can aid in suspecting tuberculous peritonitis.
    • In patients with compatible clinical presentations, these CT findings warrant consideration of tuberculosis.
    • Further validation of these criteria may improve early diagnosis and management of abdominal tuberculosis.
