Tuberculosis of the terminal ileum.

Malabsorption and subtotal villous atrophy secondary to pulmonary and intestinal tuberculosis

“…In spite of the statement that a preoperative diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis is unlikely (Winter and Goldman, 1966), this report shows that it can be done if adequate investigations, especially barium studies and jejunal biopsy, are carried out.…”

“…With the discovery of antituberculous drugs, intestinal tuberculosis became less common, and an incidence of only 1 % in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, regardless of the stage of the pulmonary disease, has been reported (Mitchell and Bristol, 1954). Over the past 25 years there has been a definite decline in the incidence of intestinal tuberculosis, as reflected by the scarcity of cases reported in the literature (Winter and Goldman, 1966). Although most authors agree that it is now rare in the western hemisphere (Winter and Goldman, 1966;Hawkins, 1963), intestinal tuberculosis, especially ileocaecal lesions, still occurs in the underdeveloped countries (Anscombe, Keddie, and Schofield, 1967;Anand, 1956;Ukil, 1942;Stock and Li, 1964).…”

Miliary Crohn's disease.

“…Nevertheless, papers have appeared in recent years reporting a continuing and not inconsiderable incidence of tuberculous peritonitis (Burack and Hollister, 1960), tuberculous enteritis (Campbell, 1961;Winter and Goldman, 1966) and ileo-caecal tuberculosis (Campbell, 1961;Howell and Knapton, 1964). It is probable that in the past many cases of Crohn's disease were wrongly diagnosed as tuberculosis, as it is now known that most granulomatous lesions in the ileo-caecal area are due to Crohn's disease (Lee and Roy, 1964).…”

Tuberculous ileo-colitis in Ibadan: a clinico-radiological review

“…In the University College Hospital, Ibadan, abdominal tuberculosis constitutes about 2.5 % of the total annual medical admissions to the adult medical wards. A number of isolated reports have come from temperate countries describing tuberculous involvement of the intestine at various sites such as the terminal ileum (Winter and Goldman, 1966), segmental lesions (Angelchik, Thabit, and Hall, 1962), caecal lesion (Anscombe, Keddie, and Schofield, 1967), distal colon (Need and Behnke, 1963), rectum and sigmoid colon (Martin, 1932), and the entire colon (Virmani, 1963).…”
