Abstract

We report a case of prolonged fever and abdominal pain which was due to peritoneal tuberculosis. An initial examinations including complete blood test and serologic tests did not lead to diagnosis. A final diagnosis was made by abdominal CT scan and laparoscopy combined with histopathological studies. Antituberculous medications provided a good clinical response.
