The diagnostic role of ascitic fluid adenosine deaminase activity in a peritoneal tuberculosis case presenting with abdominal pain and diarrhea

“…15). Abdominal tuberculosis has many different faces and a wide variety of clinical symptoms, and it may be necessary to review a wide range of diseases in patients with differential diagnosis because it is a difficult condition to diagnose (15,16,17). Peritoneal TB needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis when patients with abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anorexia, night sweats, the presence of ascitic fluid, bilateral pleural effusion, pleural nodule appearance and the findings suggesting peritonitis carcinomatosis are encountered as in our case.…”

Tubercular mycotic aortic aneurysm presenting with fever of unknown origin

“…[3,4] Pulmonary TB is the most common presentation, but it can disseminate into other organs and causes extrapulmonary TB. [5,6] Migration of Mycobacterium TB from the initial site of infection to other organs may cause fatal diseases such as miliary TB. [5] Miliary TB is an infection of disseminated hematogenous disease.…”

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis mimicking gynecological malignancies

“…Although it is commonly seen in developing countries, tuberculosis is an important part of our differential diagnosis, probably due to major migrations and pathologies that cause significant immunosuppression. [1][2][3][4][5] The most common clinical finding of tuberculosis is pulmonary tuberculosis characterized by fever, hemoptysis, abnormal weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, and cough. Both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis can mimic malignancies, chronic inflammatory diseases, or fungal/viral or parasitic infections.…”
