Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare but well-documented cause of faecal peritonitis, occasionally occurring in cases where the diagnosis has been delayed, thus resulting in progressive disease. Frequently occurring in the ileo-caecal region, it requires commencement of anti-tubercular regimen and can necessitate surgical intervention. We present a rare case of faecal peritonitis in a young immuno-competent patient with a perforated jejunal stricture, despite triple therapy for known pulmonary TB.
腹部结核是粪性腹膜炎一种罕见但有充分文献记载的病因,偶尔发生在诊断延迟的病例中,从而导致病情进展。它常发生在回盲部,需要开始抗结核治疗,且可能需要手术干预。我们报告一例罕见的粪性腹膜炎病例,患者为年轻免疫功能正常者,尽管对已知的肺结核进行了三联治疗,但仍出现了空肠穿孔性狭窄。
