  • Title: Radiological demonstration of colonic aphthoid ulcers in a patient with intestinal tuberculosis.
    Author: Carr-Locke DL, Finlay DB.
    Journal: Gut; 1983 May; 24(5):453-5. PubMed ID: 6840621.
    Abstract:
    The case is described of a young Asian woman with massive rectal haemorrhage during and after pregnancy. Barium radiology showed aphthoid ulcers in the colon and changes in the ileum suggesting tuberculosis. Colonoscopy revealed hyperplastic ulceration in the terminal ileum and culture of biopsies from this area grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient made a full and rapid recovery on anti-tuberculous therapy. Colonic aphthoid ulceration has not previously been recorded, radiologically, in intestinal tuberculosis.
