- Abstract
The article presents case studies of patients diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis (TB). A 34-year-old Indian male, who presented with central abdominal pain, was tentatively diagnosed with an appendiceal abscess and hence laparoscopy was arranged. Computed tomography (CT) of a 41-year-old female, who was undergoing an empirical atypical pneumonia treatment, showed free fluid and skip lesions of proximal large and small bowel and associated fat stranding.
