Abdominal involvement by tuberculosis as first site of disease is comparatively rare in industrialized countries. The emergence of new groups of patients at risk arouse a particular and due interest. This report describes a case of abdominal tuberculosis with a first diagnosis of Crohn's disease in an immigrant girl from Peru. The diagnosis can be difficult because extrapulmonary tuberculosis is often paucibacillary and the disease may mimic a variety of gastrointestinal disorders.
在工业化国家，腹部结核作为疾病的首发部位相对少见。新的高危患者群体的出现引起了特别且应有的关注。本报告描述了一名来自秘鲁的移民女孩，最初诊断为克罗恩病，最终确诊为腹部结核的病例。由于肺外结核通常菌量少，且该疾病可能类似多种胃肠道疾病，因此诊断可能存在困难。
