Dr. Hridaynath Desai, Dr. Pramod D. Nichat

Abstract :

 Abdominal tuberculosis in pregnancy is one of the least common forms of extrapulmonory tuberculosis in pregnancy. Early diagnosis is important to prevent obstetric and neonatal morbidity. Obstetric complications of TB include spontaneous abortion, small for date uterus, preterm labour, low birth weight, and increased neonatal mortality. We report the case of a 25-year-old pregnant woman who presented with pain in abdomen, vomiting and fever since 10 days and constipation, distension of abdomen and decreased frequency of urine since 2 days at 28 weeks of gestation. Routine biochemical and radiological investigations were performed and confirmed the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis. The patient was started on antituberculous chemotherapy. She responded well to the treatment.
