    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Abdominal tuberculosis (ATB) is an uncommon but serious condition.
    • Recognizing diverse presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • This study reviews a series of ATB cases managed over five years.

    Observation:

    • Fifteen patients with ATB were analyzed, categorized into tuberculous peritonitis, gastrointestinal tuberculosis, and tuberculous hepatitis.
    • Over half of the patients exhibited normal chest radiographs.
    • Three patients had negative tuberculin reactions, complicating initial diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The study emphasizes that ATB is not a rarity in Britain.
    • Diverse clinical presentations were observed, including a rare duodeno-colic fistula and hepatic tuberculosis presenting as jaundice.

  • These cases illustrate the varied diagnostic challenges posed by ATB.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of ATB's varied presentations is necessary for clinicians in non-endemic areas.
    • Diagnostic strategies may need to adapt to overcome challenges like normal chest X-rays and negative tuberculin tests.
    • Early recognition and management are vital for improving patient outcomes in abdominal tuberculosis.
