  • Title: [Cecal pole tuberculosis--an often forgotten differential diagnosis? Observations before and following tuberculostatic therapy].
    Author: Kapp-Schwoerer A, Reinartz H.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1986 Nov; 39(11):311-2. PubMed ID: 3809912.
    Abstract:
    If the barium enema reveals stenosing changes of the terminal ileum and caecum, tuberculosis must be considered in differential diagnosis, even if pulmonary evidence of the illness is lacking. Since, however, radiographically no exclusive typical changes for the tuberculosis of the terminal ileum and caecum can be seen, the diagnosis must be checked histologically and bacteriologically. Under drug therapy an obvious decrease of the inflammation of the mucosa of the colon could be seen.
