Abstract

Tuberculous peritonitis may occur by spread from adjacent intraabdominal tuberculous diseases or haematogenously spread during miliary tuberculosis. Presenting symptoms are usually fever, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling and weight loss, diarrhea is not a common symptom. We report a patient with peritoneal tuberculosis who were presented with diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain and ascites. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from ascites. Peritoneal tuberculosis should be considered in patients presenting with fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea and ascites.

Özet

Periton tüberkülozu (TB); abdominal organların TB'sinden komşuluk yoluyla veya miliyer TB'nin seyri sırasında hematojen yolla oluşur. Hastalar genellikle ateş, karın ağrısı, şişkinlik, kilo kaybı gibi yakınmalarla kliniğe başvurur, ishal sık görülen bir semptom değildir. Bu bildiride ishal, ateş, karın ağrısı yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvuran ve fizik muayenede batında asit saptanan TB olgusu sunulmuştur. Tanı ultrasonografide batında saptanan asit sıvısının spesifik kültüründe Mycobacterium tuberculosis üremesi sonucunda konulmuştur. Sonuç olarak; hastaneye karın ağrısı, ateş ve ishal şikayeti ile gelen ve muayenesinde batında asit tespit edilen hastalarda TB peritonit ayırıcı tanıda öncelikle düşünülecek hastalıklardan biridir.
