Abdominal tuberculosis imaging in children, including those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), reveals key features like ascites and characteristic adenopathy. Early diagnosis through imaging and biopsy is crucial for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Abdominal tuberculosis is a significant concern in children, particularly those who are immunocompromised.
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) increases the risk and complicates the presentation of abdominal tuberculosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present imaging findings of abdominal tuberculosis in pediatric patients.
  • To highlight characteristic radiographic features aiding in the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of abdominal imaging studies including radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and gastrointestinal contrast studies.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with microbiological and pathological results.

Main Results:

  • All four boys presented with tuberculous peritonitis and ascites.
  • Characteristic imaging findings included low attenuating adenopathy with rim enhancement, inflammatory masses, high-density ascites, and ileocecal enteritis.
  • Acid-fast bacilli were identified in cultures or pathology specimens in all patients.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists must maintain a high suspicion for abdominal tuberculosis in children, especially those with AIDS.
  • Characteristic imaging findings can guide diagnosis, but fine needle aspiration or biopsy may be necessary for confirmation.
