Abdominal tuberculosis in a 3-year-old child

Bölgemizdeki ilk abdominal Tüberkuloz vakası rapor edilmiştir ve teşhis ve tedavideki tecrübemizin paylaşılması düşünülmüştür. Yazımızda, teşhis ve tedavi kriterleri tartışılmıştır. Çoklu ilaö uygulaması abdominal tüberkuloz tedavisi için uygun görülmektedir ve en az 9 ay tedavi gerekmektedir. Literatür ışığında laboratuar ve radyolojik değerlendirmelerin karışıklığa sebep olabileceği ve gerçek teşhisin sadece eksploratif laparotomi ile yapılabileceği düşünülmüştür.

Üç yaşındaki bir çocukta abdominal tüberkuloz

We report the first case of abdominal tuberculosis in our region and we deciding to share our experience in the diagnosis and treatment. In our report, we discussed the diagnostic and treatment criteria of the abdominal tuberculosis case. A multiple drug regimen might be useful for abdominal tuberculosis and at least 9 months of follow-up is needed. In the light of the literature, we found out that laboratory and radiological examinations might have been confusing and the real diagnosis could be reached through explorative laparotomy or laparoscopy
