Abstract

Tuberculous PERITONITIS is a lethal disease if not diagnosed in a timely manner. Aims: To identify the clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic features of tuberculous PERITONITIS in IRANian patients. Patients: All cases of TUBERCULOSIS PERITONITIS having a definite diagnosis confirmed by pathology in four referral university hospitals in Tehran between 1989 and 1999 were studied. Methods: Clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings and invasive procedures performed were reviewed. Results: A total of 50 patients (30 female, 20 male) with a mean age of 33.5 years were studied. Main presenting symptoms included abdominal pain (84%), weight loss (72%) and fever (50%). 24 percent of patients had a positive tuberculin test. ESR higher than 50mm/h was detected in 60 percent of patients and 4.4 percent had an ESR higher than 100 mm/h. Laparoscopy or laparotomy showed peritoneal seeding in 74 percent of patients. Conclusions: Exudative ascites should raise clinical suspicion of TUBERCULOSIS PERITONITIS in endemic areas or immigrants from endemic areas. Laparoscopy is the most sensitive and specific diagnostic method.
