Disseminated tuberculosis (TB) associated with mesenteric arteritis has not been established in children. We present the case of an 8-year-old woman who presented with TB and superior mesenteric artery stenosis. Although rare, large vessel involvement from Takayasu arteritis can occur in TB. Evaluation for mesenteric vessel involvement should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with widely disseminated TB and abdominal pain.
肠系膜动脉炎相关播散性结核（TB）在儿童中尚未得到证实。我们报告了一例 8 岁女性，其患有 TB 和肠系膜上动脉狭窄。尽管罕见，但大动脉受累也可由 Takayasu 动脉炎引起。在广泛播散性 TB 并伴有腹痛的儿科患者中，应考虑肠系膜血管受累的评估。
