    Abstract:
    Peritonitis is an uncommon localization of tuberculosis in Italy; diagnosis and treatment are often difficult and delayed. Fifteen cases, followed by Infectious Diseases Department in Treviso from 2000 to 2010, are described. Mortality and long term complications were absent, in contrast with medical literature. The usefulness of steroid therapy is still uncertain. Other sites of infection were present in 60 percent of patients (pulmonary TB in 47%), urging the clinician to examine the case promptly to determine infectiousness status.
