Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the main causes of death due to infections in the world. Extrapulmonary infection accounts for one third of the cases, of which abdominal tuberculosis may present with mesenteric lymphadenitis, peritonitis, gastrointestinal system involvement or solid organ involvement. Among them, isolated mesenteric tuberculous lymphadenitis (IMTL) is a type of extrapulmonary disease characterized by the involvement of intraabdominal lymph nodes mostly due to lymphohematogenous spread of primary mycobacterium tuberculosis. IMTL is a rare clinical entity in children and is often associated with underlying immunosuppressive disorders. Chronic abdominal pain, intermittent fever, and weight loss are the classic clinical presentations of this disease. In this paper, a rare case of IMTL in a healthy fifteen-year-old girl is reported.
儿童慢性腹痛的罕见病因:孤立性肠系膜结核性淋巴结炎
结核病是世界上因感染而死亡的主要原因之一。肺外感染占病例的三分之一,其中腹部结核可伴有肠系膜淋巴结炎、腹膜炎、胃肠道系统受累或实体器官受累。其中,孤立性肠系膜结核性淋巴结炎(IMTL)是一种以累及腹内淋巴结为特征的肺外疾病,主要是由原发性结核分枝杆菌的淋巴血行性传播引起的。IMTL在儿童中是一种罕见的临床实体,通常与潜在的免疫抑制疾病有关。慢性腹痛、间歇性发热和体重减轻是本病的典型临床表现。本文报告了一例罕见的15岁健康女孩的IMTL。
