comorbidities

Peritoneal Tuberculosis
• “The great mimicker”
• Extremely difficult pre-operative diagnosis
• Only 16% associated with active pulmonary Tb
• PPD often not reactive

Findings
• extensive millet seed lesions throughout peritoneum, bowel, mesentery, omentum
• ascites

Findings
• Very similar to: – carcinomatosis – Crohn’s – sarcoidosis
• Therefore biopsy is key

Findings
• Ascites for AFB – less than 3% positive
• Ascites / Bx for culture – less than 20% positive (8 week incubation)
• Biopsy will demonstrate necrotizing granuloma

Treatment
• Same as principles as active pulmonary Tb – Quadruple drug regimen – Direct Observed Therapy – Initial phase – 6 to 8 weeks – Continuation phase – 4 months
