In Britain abdominal tuberculosis is an uncommon condition and most cases come to laparotomy for diagnosis. A high index of suspicion is required in areas with a large immigrant population and in areas which are overcrowded and nutritionally deprived. Nine of 28 patients presented acutely and a wide variety of preoperative diagnoses were entertained. Most of the remainder had a long history of vague constitutional symptoms and laparotomy was required for diagnosis in all but 5. Histology proved the surest way of establishing the diagnosis.
在英国，腹部结核病并不常见，大多数病例需通过剖腹手术来诊断。在移民人口众多、过度拥挤且营养匮乏的地区，需要高度怀疑。28例患者中有9例急性发病，术前有多种诊断考虑。其余大多数患者有长期模糊的全身症状史，除5例之外，所有患者均需通过剖腹手术来诊断。组织学检查是确诊的最可靠方法。
