Tuberculosis is very common entity in both developing and under developed countries. Each year 3 million people worldwide died of the disease. Among extra pulmonary TB, alimentary system accounts for about 3.0% cases. The Commonest presentation of alimentary tuberculosis is Ileo-caecal disease, but isolated appendicular involvement is very rarely seen. Although some cases have been reported from our neighboring countries, there is still no such report from Bangladesh. We are here for the first time reporting a case of isolated appendicular tuberculosis which presented to us with peritonitis.
结核病在发展中国家和不发达国家都非常常见。全世界每年有300万人死于这种疾病。在肺外结核病中,消化系统约占3.0%的病例。消化道结核最常见的表现是回盲部疾病,但孤立的阑尾受累非常罕见。虽然我们的邻国已经报道了一些病例,但孟加拉国仍然没有这样的报告。我们在此首次报告一例以腹膜炎表现的孤立性阑尾结核病例。
