Peritoneal tuberculosis revealed by a picture of appendiceal peritonitis

2024Open accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Tuberculosis disease is a public health problem in developing countries.We report the case of a 20-year-old female patient admitted with appendiceal peritonitis.Surgical exploration made it possible to evoke the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis as early as macroscopic examination (Peritoneal granulations). The diagnosis was confirmed by anatomopathological study.This observation underlines that the treatment is based on quadruple therapy; however, surgery is sometimes necessary.
