Abstract

Objection: Nonpulmonary tuberculosis, confront us with nonspecific manifestations and sustains its existence and complicates the diagnosis, Herein a case with abdominal tuberculosis presenting with abdominal pain. Case Report: A 17-year-old previously healthy male patient had applied to an external center with abdominal pain and nausea. The patient who referred to our hospital because of the widespread infiltration detected on preoperative chest X-ray, was hospitalized with the initial diagnosis of tuberculosis. Conclusion: Although tuberculosis is an infectious disease that frequently affects lung, it should not be forgotten that extrapulmonary tuberculosis may present as an important clinical problem with nonspecific synptoms.

Özet

Amaç: Tüberkülozun akciğer dışı formları, özgün olmayan klinik bulgularla karşımıza çıkarak tanıyı güçleştirmekte ve varlığını sürdürmektedir. Burada, karın ağrısı ile başvuran bir abdominal tüberküloz vakası sunulmuştur. Vaka Sunumu: Öncesinde sağlıklı 17 yaşında erkek hasta, karın ağrısı ve bulantı nedeniyle ile dış merkeze başvurmuş. Tetkik sonuçlarında akut apandisit tanısıyla operasyonu planlanarak akciğer grafisi çekilerek yaygın infiltrasyon görülmesi üzerine tarafımıza refere edilen hasta tüberküloz ön tanısıyla servise yatırıldı ve örnekleme sonrası dörtlü antitüberküloz tedavi başlanarak takibe alındı. Sonuç: Tüberküloz sıklıkla akciğeri tutan bir enfeksiyon hastalığı olmasına karşın, akciğer dışı tüberkülozunun özgül olmayan semptomlarla önemli bir klinik sorun olarak karşımıza gelebileceği unutulmamalıdır. Anahtar kelimeler: Pulmoner tüberküloz, pediatrik, abdominal tüberküloz, karın ağrısı
