Radiologic and pathological features of intestinal tuberculosis (TB) with abdominal complications like obstruction and perforation were studied. Understanding these features aids clinical decisions, especially during TB treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) can present with serious abdominal complications.
  • Radiologic and pathological findings are crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the radiologic and pathological features of intestinal tuberculosis (TB) with abdominal complications.
  • To identify common features associated with specific complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 22 patients with 23 surgically proven abdominal complications of intestinal TB.
  • Review of medical records, radiologic studies, and pathologic examinations.
  • Focused search for common features within complication groups (obstruction, perforation, fistulae, bleeding).

Main Results:

  • Strictures were key in intestinal obstruction (7/9); adhesions were noted in others.
  • Perforations often showed proximal loop obstruction/ulceration (6/8) or multiple deep ulcerations.
  • Fistulae associated with strictures, adhesions, and fibrotic bowel.
  • Intestinal bleeding linked to diffuse mucosal ulcerations.
  • 10/22 patients developed complications during anti-TB therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologic and pathologic features of intestinal TB complications guide clinical decisions.
  • Close patient monitoring is vital, particularly for acutely ill individuals undergoing anti-TB therapy.
