“…Symptoms of abdominal tuberculosis are non-specific and include abdominal pain, transit disorders, fistula or ascites. So-called pseudotumoral forms are characterized by the presence, on physical examination, of nodular abdominal masses often testifying to voluminous peritoneal granulations [12] [13]. The various symptoms can thus be explained by the inflammatory reaction caused by the tuberculosis infection.…”

Tuberculosis is a contagious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. This illness is a major public health challenge in Madagascar and around the world. The disease can develop in the lungs and other organs. Digestive tuberculosis is rare, accounting for 10% of extrapulmonary forms. Symptoms are not specific. Diagnosis is based on anatomical pathology examination. The purpose of this study is to determine the epidemiological and anatomopathological characteristics of abdominal tuberculosis. Our study was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted at the Pathological Anatomy and Cytology Unit of the University Hospital Center of Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona over a 10-year period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021. Digestive localization accounted for 17 cases, which are 1.85% of extra-pulmonary localizations. The mean age of patients was 33 years with extremes of 9 and 66 years. The sex ratio was 4.67. Pain was the main symptom, accounting for 76.47% of cases. Histological aspects were caseo-follicular in 82.35% (n = 14) of cases, follicular in 11.76% (n = 2) and caseous in 5.89% (n = 1). Patients were treated with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Surgery has sometimes been required. Tuberculosis is a public health problem in Madagascar. Digestive localization of the disease is mainly observed in young adults especially among men. Clinical signs are not specific, and diagnosis is based on anatomopathology. Treatment is medical but sometimes surgery may be necessary.

“…This predominance is reported almost in all series of the literature (15,16) . Abdominal pain reported in 36%–73.8% of patients is most often moderate (5,8,17) ; much more rarely these pains are in the foreground mimicking acute peritonitis (17) .…”

PurposeThe objective of this work was to describe different presentations of peritoneal tuberculosis on ultrasound.Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective study conducted between 2008 and 2016 at the Main Hospital in Dakar, and including 38 cases of peritoneal tuberculosis. The tests were performed on Philips Envisor and Hitachi Preirus with 10 and 12 MHz linear transducers. The mean age was 26 years and the sex ratio was 0.8. The diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis was based on histological evidence (17 cases), isolation of BK from sputum (5 cases), positive adenosine deaminase in ascites fluid (4 cases) or a favorable clinical course after trial antituberculosis treatment (4 cases). The structures studied were the parietal peritoneum, the mesentery, the large omentum, as well as the characteristics of ascites, and extra-peritoneal lesions.ResultsParietal peritoneal involvement was found in 89.4% of patients, including regular diffuse hypoechoic thickening in 70.5% and nodular thickening in 11.7%. Ascites was present in 84.2% of patients. The great omentum showed anomalies in 73.6% of cases in relation to 3 aspects: trilamellar thickening made up of a thick, hyperechoic central layer surrounded by 2 thin peripheral hypoechoic layers in 46.4% of cases; a single-layer hyperechoic thickening in 21.4% of cases; heterogeneous hyperechogenic thickening with hypoechoic nodules in 32.1% of cases. Mesentery abnormalities were noted in 63.1% of patients with hypoechoic thickening.ConclusionUltrasound with the advantage of safety and accessibility is a reliable technique for the diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis. In some cases, it allows for a guided percutaneous biopsy to avoid the use of laparoscopy.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs, caused by human-to-human transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Peritoneal tuberculosis is an extra-pulmonary form of the disease that usually manifests as an ascitic syndrome, with or without fever, in a context of altered general condition, often in endemic areas. The diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis is not always easy, as the clinical signs are often insidious and unspecific. We report a case of peritoneal tuberculosis in an 18-year-old female, who had presented for 10 days with a progressive increase in abdominal volume associated with vomiting and diarrhoea.
