| Popis: |
The presence of peritoneal tuberculosis has to be clinically suspected in all patients with abdominal pain of unknown etiology, particularly when it is accompanied by fever, ascites, and abdominal distension. Access to the abdominal cavity using routine laparoscopy provides essential information on the diagnosis, from both macroscopic images and biopsy sampling, which will later provide a pathological and microbiological confirmation. This helps discriminate between potential differential diagnoses that may include similar symptoms. Other laboratory tests have to be considered as diagnostic aids, as well as for the indication of laparoscopy, including ADA, and Gallium-67 or Ca-125 scans. |
