Abstract:
Abdominal tuberculosis is a rare disease, about 5% of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. However, the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis is difficult, because of its atypical symptoms and signs, and ambiguous results upon physical examination. When abdominal tuberculosis is combined with abdominal injury, the diagnosis will be especially complex. We present our experience of abdominal tuberculosis associated with abdominal trauma.
