Abdominal tuberculosis: still a potentially lethal disease.

The findings in a 4-yr survey of 82 patients with abdominal tuberculosis are described and compared with those encountered in previous surveys. Fourteen cases of intestinal, 11 of mesenteric-lymphnodal, and 57 of peritoneal tuberculosis were identified. The disease occurred essentially in patients living under worsening socioeconomic conditions, and 51 of them had associated pulmonary tuberculosis. Symptoms and clinical findings were again nonspecific, but newer imaging, endoscopic, and other invasive procedures were helpful in establishing a definite diagnosis. In addition, adenosine deaminase determination showed great promise as a noninvasive diagnostic procedure in patients with tuberculous ascites. The six hospital deaths in the series highlight the hazard of potentially lethal delays in early diagnosis and treatment, even in centers with a high awareness of the disease.
