  • Title: [Non-invasive diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis].
    Author: Capron J, Lafont C, Grateau G, Steichen O.
    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2010 Dec; 31(12):e10-1. PubMed ID: 20605658.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculous peritonitis was suspected in a 33-year-old man, without significant past medical history or risk factor for tuberculosis, who presented with constitutional manifestations including fatigue and weight loss, fever for several weeks and inflammatory ascites. Echo-guided percutaneous biopsy of the thickened omentum showed numerous epithelioid granulomas, avoiding laparoscopic peritoneal biopsies. Recovery was uneventful under antituberculous treatment.
