ABSTRACT
Duodenum is a rare site of involvement in intestinal tuberculosis. We report a 19 years old boy who presented with non-bilious vomiting and weight loss. His workup showed stricture in ascending colon, multiple liver abscesses with pneumobilia on CT scan. Upper GI endoscopy revealed stricture in 2[nd] part of duodenum distally. He was operated and duodenojejunostomy with limited right hemicolectomy [for stricture in this part of gut] were done. Biopsy report was suggestive of tuberculosis. Antituberculous treatment was started. He responded well and gained 20 kg weight at 3 months follow-up
