Abstract

Tuberculous peritonitis has often been overlooked in the differantial diagnosis of abdominal diseases because of variability and nonspecifity in clinical presentation. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic methods for accurate approach to patients with tuberculous peritonitis. In the study, we examined retrospectively 16 patients [mean age 33.3 years (range: 15-65 years), 13 (81%) female, 3 (19%) male] diagnosed as peritoneal tuberculosis at our center between January 1997 and January 2001. Symptoms of peritoneal tuberculosis were abdominal pain (87%), weight loss (87%) and abdominal distention resulting from ascites (50%). Ascites was also one of the most common finding in ultrasonography and computerized tomography (94%). The tuberculin skin test of the 11 patients were negative (69%). Pulmonary tuberculosis was found in 11 patients (69%). Diagnosis was confirmed by peritoneal biopsy in 13 cases, dominity of lymphocytes in ascitic fluid and clinical findings in two cases and colonoscopic biopsy in one case. All patients were treated with isoniazide (H), rifampicin (R), pyrazinamide (P), ethambutol (E) combination for a period of 9 to 12 months. Peritoneal tuberculosis should be considered in patients with abdominal pain, weight loss and ascites especially in endemic countries like Turkey.

Özet

Tüberkülöz peritonit özgül olmayan ve değişken klinik bulguları nedeniyle, abdominal hastalıkların ayırıcı tanısında sıklıkla gözden kaçabilmektedir. Tüberkülöz peritonitli olgulara doğru bir yaklaşım için, tanıya yönelik yöntemleri irdelemeyi amaçladık. Çalışmamızda, merkezimizde Ocak1997-Ocak 2001 döneminde periton tüberkülozu tanısı konulan 16 hasta [ortalama yaş 33.3 (aralık: 15-65), 13 (%81) kadın, 3 (%19) erkek] geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Semptomlar karın ağrısı (%87), kilo kaybı (%87) ve asitten kaynaklanan karında gerginlikti (%50). Asit, ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografide en sık görülen bulguydu (%94). Tüberkülin deri (PPD) testi 11 hastada (%69) negatifti. Akciğer tüberkülozu 11 hastada (%69) bulundu. On üç olguda periton biyopsisi, iki olguda asit sıvısında lenfosit hakimiyeti ve klinik bulgular, bir olguda ise kolonoskopik biyopsi ile tanı konuldu. Hastalar 9-12 ay süreyle izoniyazid (H), rifampisin (R), pirazinamid (P), etambutol (E) kombinasyonu ile tedavi edildi. Periton tüberkülozu Türkiye gibi endemik ülkelerde karın ağrısı, kilo kaybı ve asiti olan hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir.
