Abdominal Tuberculosis: A Report Outlining Surgical and Unique Pharmacologic Management in the Absence of Enteral Access
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) occurs only in a subset of TB-infected persons. With a higher incidence in the immunocompromised population, successful treatment includes early diagnosis and initiation of anti-TB medications. This case report discusses a 22-year-old immunocompetent male diagnosed with advanced duodenal and peritoneal TB after perforation requiring emergent surgery and intravenous anti-TB treatment secondary to lack of enteral access.
