A case of tuberculous peritonitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study aimed to provide the initial laparoscopy results as well as the results after a 16-month follow-up of a 78-year-old patient with tuberculous peritonitis. Imaging and laboratory examinations were performed for preliminary diagnosis, and laparoscopy and Gram staining were used for definitive diagnosis. The initial laparoscopy results showed the presence of typical yellow-white nodules on the liver surface and a biopsy demonstrated caseous necrotic granuloma. After 16 months, laparoscopy results showed that yellow-white nodules were reduced after antituberculous drug treatment and adhesions formed by fibrin networks were clearly visible. Laparoscopy and biopsy contributed to the rapid diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis.
