Abstract

Tropical Gastroenterology 110 for the diagnosis of pancreatic/peripancreatic TB. In a retrospective analysis done in Korean study by Song et al, it was found that EUS-FNB gave diagnosis in 76.2% patients (16 out of 21)6.

Presence of caseating granulomas on histopathology, demonstration of TB bacilli on ZN stain, culture or GeneXpert positivity are diagnostic features. Abdominal tuberculosis responds well to anti tubercular treatment unless it is a drug resistant scenario. It is recommended to give 6 months course of anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) for abdominal TB7. Our patient symptomatically responded well to ATT and she is on follow up now.
