    Author: Scherwitz P, Krings F, Pichlmaier H, Gheorghiu T.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1995 Jul; 66(7):727-30. PubMed ID: 7671761.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis is extremely rare in Germany today. Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis has proved to be particularly difficult and a correct diagnosis can take months. The danger of fatality is high. In the case of a 29 year old male paraplegic patient suffering from enteral tuberculosis, diagnosis was possible only after several weeks of onward observation, extreme physical degeneration and finally, a laparotomy.
