Abstract

Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) can affect many organ systems, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Here, it may manifest as intestinal, peritoneal, hepato-pancreato-biliary TB, or as TB lymphadenitis. We report a case of small bowel obstruction secondary to peritoneal TB deposits in a patient who had previous received BCG vaccination. The patient was managed with emergency laparotomy and received TB treatment post-operatively. This article highlights the innocuous presentation of peritoneal TB and difficulties obtaining a diagnosis. Furthermore, we review the efficacy of the BCG vaccine and remind the reader of the importance of a travel history in the acute abdomen setting.

期刊介绍： Since its establishment in 2003, The Surgeon has established itself as one of the leading multidisciplinary surgical titles, both in print and online. The Surgeon is published for the worldwide surgical and dental communities. The goal of the Journal is to achieve wider national and international recognition, through a commitment to excellence in original research. In addition, both Colleges see the Journal as an important educational service, and consequently there is a particular focus on post-graduate development. Much of our educational role will continue to be achieved through publishing expanded review articles by leaders in their field. Articles in related areas to surgery and dentistry, such as healthcare management and education, are also welcomed. We aim to educate, entertain, give insight into new surgical techniques and technology, and provide a forum for debate and discussion.
