    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) management poses challenges due to varied clinical presentations.
    • Tuberculosis remains a significant health concern in India, affecting multiple sites.
    • Accurate prevalence data for abdominal TB is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss problems in managing abdominal tuberculosis.
    • To analyze surgically verified cases for insights into diagnosis and treatment.
    • To differentiate abdominal TB from Crohn's disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 300 surgically verified cases of abdominal tuberculosis.
    • Review of clinical manifestations, surgical interventions, and histological findings.
    • Comparison of features to distinguish from Crohn's disease.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal TB involved the alimentary canal in 196 cases and lymph nodes/peritoneum in 104.
    • Intestinal resection was performed in 100 cases; emergency surgery had high mortality (18/76).
    • Histology confirmed TB in 229 cases, with caseation in 179; caseation and peritoneal tubercles aided differentiation from Crohn's disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Abdominal tuberculosis presents complex diagnostic and management issues.
    • Surgery is often necessary for complications or diagnostic uncertainty.
    • Despite advances, abdominal TB continues to challenge clinicians, particularly in India.
