“…The second case (in press, Bateson, 1985), was hospital because of failure to thrive. An epigastric mass was palpable and a barium meal examination showed marked narrowing of the prepyloric region (Figure 13).…”

A review was carried out of the X‐rays of 434 notified cases of active tuberculosis from the Darwin Region of the Northern Territory for the period from January 1969 to December 1983. More than fifty per cent were Aboriginal although they form only twenty per cent of the population. Pulmonary disease was the most common form in both races. Primary manifestations and generalised involvement of the lungs were found only in Aboriginal patients. There was a significant number of patients with glandular tuberculosis but radiological interest was confined to three Aboriginal patients who presented as appendicitis, pyloro‐duodenal obstruction and splenic calcification. Spinal tuberculosis was uncommon and the radiological manifestations of spinal abscess and paraplegia were also restricted to the Aboriginals.

Nine patients with gastroduodenal tuberculosis (GDTB) were seen over a period of 2 years at a tertiary level referral institute. Clinical presentation of GDTB is similar to that of peptic ulccr disease. Endoscopic biopsy and/or laparotomy and biopsy establish the diagnosis. Medical treatment is the mainstay of therapy, although surgical intervention may be required for the management of complications. Gastroduodenal tuberculosis should be suspected in patients, residing in areas where the disease is endemic, with a short history suggestive of peptic ulcer disease and an early onset of gastric outlet obstruction.
