“…Only 15-20% patients of abdominal tuberculosis have active pulmonary tuberculosis. 2,3 Abdominal tuberculosis tends to present with nonspecific feature and is difficult to diagnose in early stage. Imaging studies and Serological tests provide only indirect evidence of the underlying disease.…”

This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 10-year old boy, the only issue of his deceased parents, was admitted to the department for the management of recurrent episodes of diarrhea and severe wasting for 2.5 months, low grade, irregular fever with evening rise of temperature, anorexia and repeated attack of skin blister for the last 1 year. The patient complained of chronic, painless, non-bloody, profuse watery diarrhea with a weight loss of 10 kg (decrease to 18 kg from 28 kg prior to illness). He also complained of cough for the last seven days. His father was a driver and died at his 1 year of age due to an unknown disease.

“…The incidence of abdominal TB is higher due to easy contraction of the disease by ingestion/digestion of infected sputum or proximity with the infected. The pathogenesis of EPTB is attributed to the bacteria reaching the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via the hematogenous spread, ingestion of infected sputum, or direct spread from infected contiguous lymph nodes and fallopian tubes [ 7 - 9 ]. The most common site of involvement of GI tuberculosis is the ileocecal region [ 10 ].…”

Aim: To compare multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) imaging findings in gastrointestinal (GI) tuberculosis.Objective: To study imaging findings of MDCT and DECT in GI tuberculosis.Methodology: All the patients falling in the sampling frame and fulfilling the eligibility criteria were clinically examined and demographic details, presenting complaints, medical history, history of antitubercular treatment (ATT) intake, personal habits, and family history of tuberculosis were noted. All the patients underwent sputum acid-fast bacilli (AFB) assessment. Outcomes of investigations like bronchoscopy and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)/biopsy were also noted wherever available. Ascitic fluid AFB and culture assessments were also performed wherever feasible. All CT scans were performed on a 384-slice dual-energy CT scanner (Somaton Force, Siemens Healthcare) and all the images were postprocessed on a workstation using syngo.via software that allows the analysis of images using three material decompositions. Features like peritonitis, lymph node involvement, GI wall thickening, and solid organ involvement were focused on. Subjective assessment of images of both MDCT and DECT were assessed by two experienced radiologists to prepare the CT diagnosis. The mutual agreement of the two observers was considered final.Conclusions: The findings of the study showed that both MDCT, as well as DECT, were useful in the diagnosis of GI tuberculosis. On the basis of these findings, DECT could be considered to have an edge over MDCT in the diagnosis of GI tuberculosis. Keeping in view the small sample size and high prevalence, further studies on a larger sample size with relaxed sampling criteria are recommended to validate the findings of the present study.
