Tuberculose intestinale révélée par une occlusion intestinale aigüe au cours d’une réaction paradoxale au traitement anti-tuberculeux chez un patient immunocompétent: à propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

Abstract: La tuberculose intestinale représente 3 à 5% de toutes les localisations viscérales. Malgré l'efficacité démontrée des anti-tuberculeux, des cas d'exacerbation du tableau clinique initial ont été décrits à l'initiation du traitement. Ces réactions dites «paradoxales» sont cependant rarement rapportées chez les immunocompétents et beaucoup moins sous forme d'occlusion intestinale. Nous rapportons un cas de tuberculose intestinale révélée par une occlusion intestinale aigüe au cours d'une réaction paradoxale aux… Show more

In the case of TB-IRIS, it is common to observe worsening of already existing abdominal tuberculosis after starting ATT, and development of new abdominal symptoms, as in the present case, seems to be rare ( 16 - 18 ).…”
