Tuberculosis is very prevalent in countries like Pakistan. It can be a diagnostic challenge when it has extra pulmonary organ involvement. Variation in clinical signs and symptoms, lack of access to a specialist and limited financial resources often result in delayed diagnosis. This leads to an increase in overall morbidity and mortality. We are presenting a case of disseminated tuberculosis with predominant intestinal symptoms in an eleven years old boy. He remained undiagnosed for several years despite frequent visits to multiple general practitioners. After appropriate investigations and initiation of treatment for tuberculosis, he showed an excellent recovery.
结核病在巴基斯坦等国家非常普遍。当它涉及到肺外器官时，诊断可能会具有挑战性。临床症状和体征的变化、缺乏专科医生的诊治和有限的财政资源常常导致诊断延迟。这导致总发病率和死亡率增加。我们报告了一例 11 岁男孩以肠道症状为主的播散性结核病。尽管他频繁地去看多位全科医生，但他仍被漏诊多年。经过适当的检查和结核病治疗后，他恢复良好。
