A 18 years old boy presented with severe diffuse abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal distention, fever and diagnosed as a case of perforation as free gas noted under both dome of the diaphragm. After resuscitation, exploratory laparotomy was done and diagnosed as a case of multiple spontaneous leaky perforations of jejunum and ileum 25 to 30 cm from duodeno-Jejunal flexure (DJ) up to terminal ileum. Peritoneal toileting and excisional biopsy of the mesenteric lymph node were done. Operative and postoperative period were uneventful. Histopathological examination of the resected lymph node revealed granulomatous inflammation compatible with tuberculosis. Anti-tubercular therapy was started and continued for 6 months. Patient was discharged on the 12 th postoperative day in a good condition. At 3 months of follow up the patient was asymptomatic and thriving well. Free perforation is one of the most feared complications of the intestinal tuberculosis. The terminal ileum is the most common site of perforation, while the majority of (90%) perforations are solitary. [Bangladesh Journal of Infectious Diseases 2016;3(2):52-54]

Extrapulmonary involvement in pediatric tuberculosis

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tuberculosis in childhood is clinically challenging, but it is a preventable and treatable disease. Risk factors depend on age and immunity status. The most common form of pediatric tuberculosis is pulmonary disease, which comprises more than half of the cases. Other forms make up the extrapulmonary tuberculosis that involves infection of the lymph nodes, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, hepatobiliary tree, and renal and musculoskeletal systems. Knowledge of the imaging characteristics of pediatric tuberculosis provides clues to diagnosis. This article aims to review the imaging characteristics of common sites for extrapulmonary tuberculous involvement in children.
