“…(6) Therefore, gastric TB is a rare entity even in endemic regions, being reported in only 1-2% of all cases of gastrointestinal tuberculosis. (6,7) In our research, we found few reports of gastric TB in our region, (8,9) and internationally in Korea, (10) China, (11,12) Sudan, (13) India, (14) and Turkey. (15) Tuberculosis risk factors described are low socioeconomic status, indoor air pollution, number of windows per room, and immunodeficiency.…”

Tuberculosis is a high-incidence public health problem in Peru. In our context, Tuberculosis is seen commonly as a pulmonary infection. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis as gastric is rare, both as a primary or secondary infection, with just a few case reports published about these kinds of presentations. This case report presents a 44-year-old female patient with weight loss, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. Upper endoscopy reveals antral polypoid masses and a gastric ulcer. Abdominal CT shows lymph nodes and stomach wall thickening. Biopsies results were negative for malignancy and positive for granulomas. Sputum acid-fast bacilli smear on microscopic examination was positive. Coexistent pulmonary, gastric tuberculosis, and human immunodeficiency virus infection mimicking gastric cancer were confirmed. We will present this case in detail below.

“…Symptoms are usually unspecific, ranging from non-specific abdominal pain, dyspepsia, weight loss, and anorexia [3]. Gastric tuberculosis can manifest endoscopically as multiple or single irregular ulcers, fistula formations, and hypertrophic-stenosing lesions, which can produce gastric outlet obstruction [6]. Ulcers are usually located in the lesser curve of the prepyloric region and antrum; however, fundic ulcers have also been described in the literature [7].…”

Introduction: Tuberculosis remains a public health concern in developing countries, as well as in developed countries as a result of immigration from endemic areas. Gastroduodenal and colorectal tuberculosis are rare manifestations of gastrointestinal infection. Case Presentation: We present 2 cases of gastric, duodenal, and colorectal tuberculosis. The first case, a 17-year-old male with no medical record, presented with chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. At endoscopy, he had multiple ulcers in the stomach, colon, and rectum, which were positive to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The second case was a 43-year-old HIV-positive male, with a history of intermittent fever, nausea, and vomiting. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a deep ulcer on gastric fundus that tested positive to M. tuberculosis in the acid-fast bacilli staining. Discussion/Conclusion: Gastroduodenal and colorectal tuberculosis, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. An adequate tissue sample and appropriate diagnostic tests are essential for the diagnosis and prompt start of first-line antituberculosis agents.

“…Intra‐abdominal TB is notorious for non‐specific presentation without the classic B‐symptoms of fevers, night sweats and weight loss. Gastroduodenal TB is uncommon, accounting for ~1–6% of all abdominal TB 3,4 . Common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, distension, nausea and vomiting and diarrhoea.…”

“…Gastroduodenal TB is uncommon, accounting for 1-6% of all abdominal TB. 3,4 Common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, distension, nausea and vomiting and diarrhoea. Spread can occur via three routes; hematogenous or lymphatic spread, direct extension of a tuberculosis infection site, and ingestion of dairy products and sputum infected with the bacteria.…”
