ABSTRACT

Resumen La tuberculosis (TB) intestinal y peritoneal es una enfermedad regional, crónica, específica, generalmente secundaria a TB pulmonar avanzada. Mayormente adopta la forma localizada en el tejido linfoide ileal. El diagnóstico puede sospecharse por los síntomas, los antecedentes del paciente y las pruebas de imagen, entre ellas radiografía de tórax, tomografía axial computarizada y ecografía. La confirmación precisa realizar una colonoscopia y toma de biopsia para demostración de granulomas caseificantes y del bacilo ácido-alcohol resistente. Presentamos un caso de un niño que consulto por absceso perianal y fístula, tratado como enfermedad intestinal inflamatoria y cuya radiografía de tórax motivó la sospecha y estudio de TB.


Abstract Intestinal and peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is a regional, chronic, specific disease, generally secondary to advanced pulmonary TB. It is mostly localized at the ileal lymphoid tissue. The diagnosis may be suspected due to the symptoms, the patient's history, and imaging tests, such as chest x-ray, computerized axial tomography and echography. For confirmation, it is necessary to perform a colonoscopy and a biopsy sample to show caseating granulomas and the acid-alcohol resistant bacillus. We present the case of a child who consulted for a perianal abscess and fistula that were treated as inflammatory bowel disease, whose chest x-ray encouraged the suspicion and study of TB.
