    This case study highlights a 40-year-old male diagnosed with Addison's disease and tuberculous peritonitis. Both conditions were late-stage manifestations of tuberculosis, appearing 20 years after initial pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Internal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Endocrinology

    Context:

    • Presents a complex case of a 40-year-old male with concurrent Addison's disease and tuberculous peritonitis.
    • Highlights diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms such as septic temperatures and ascites.
    • Emphasizes the potential for tuberculosis to manifest years after initial pulmonary infection.

    Purpose:

    • To document a rare case of concurrent Addison's disease and tuberculous peritonitis.
    • To illustrate the diagnostic process for late-stage organ tuberculosis.
    • To underscore the importance of considering tuberculosis in patients with unexplained ascites and adrenal insufficiency.

    Summary:

    • A 40-year-old male presented with septic temperatures and ascites.

  • Clinical suspicion for Addison's disease was raised due to skin pigmentation, hypotension, electrolyte imbalance, and elevated renin activity.
  • Ascitic fluid analysis revealed protein-rich fluid with lymphocytes, leading to the diagnosis of peritonitis tuberculosa.
  • Both Addison's disease and peritonitis tuberculosa were identified as late manifestations of tuberculosis, occurring approximately 20 years after pulmonary tuberculosis.

    • Impact:

    • This case reinforces the understanding of tuberculosis as a potential cause of Addison's disease and peritonitis, even decades after initial infection.
    • It emphasizes the need for thorough investigation in cases of unexplained ascites and adrenal insufficiency.
    • Contributes to the literature on the varied and delayed presentations of disseminated tuberculosis.
